A continent across the sea where King Abernathy had sent explorers to ascertain what lay beyond the horizon.
Role
The realm of Endosylvania plays little to no role in EtC.
- Concordia
- A city comprised of an inner and outer circle, the inner circle are the elite while the outer circle are the impoverished. The city is deeply religious, its forebears believing that Effluvians and Aetherians are the scum of the world. Its religious leaders are in contact with an extra-dimensional race of beings referred to as the Seraphim.
- Effluvia
- A city comprised of factories, Effluvia produces nearly all of the technology used by the people of the continent. Its leaders are Controllers collectively known as the Blood Knights.
- Aetheria
- A floating city, its current de facto leader is Regent Ephraim Lot. Its former king, Epimethius, intended to use its aerial advantage to dominate Endosylvania.
- Old Endosylvania
- A ruins containing the last remnants of the Endosylvanian society, a culture which seemed to predate the rise of the D'raka, it is now merely a haunt for delinquents.

- Xero
- An Aetherian having taken part in the battle which won Effluvia, is a badly burned casualty of war whose injuries had placed him in the care of Effluvian alchemist Al Avrid. Meanwhile, the Aetherian military, not finding a body, labeled him a deserter. The mix of devotion to his savior and the realization that he will not be able to return home allow Xero to cast off his past identity and join Avrid’s cause.
- Desmond Hauser
- An Aetherian soldier serving under Demios after Sebastian's departure, he was later set to lead a squad of "Golems", reverse-engineered Homunculi, to crush the growing Effluvian insurgency.
Creation
Endosylvania is the main continent containing the states of Concordia and Effluvia over which flies the city of Aetheria. It was created for a collaboration work wherein it served as the primary setting for what was hoped would be a video game. After months of collaboration, much conceptualization, both in story and in design, went more or less to waste as the collaboration came to a rather abrupt end, its progenitors leaving to go to school or work. The author, as a member of the collab, attained permission to use any and all concepts created for the failed project within his own work.
