Pywel
The primary continent and setting of Crimson Desert. A vast, seamless continent and war-torn world filled with many different territories, cities, cultures, and religions. Divided into five distinct regions: Hernand, Pailune, Demeniss, Delesyia, and the Crimson Desert. Landscapes include bustling cities, frozen tundra, scorching deserts, rolling grasslands, and dense forests.

The Abyss
A mysterious realm located above Pywel, described as a realm of floating islands powered by a mixture of magic and technology. One of the major mysteries hanging over the continent. Abyss Artifacts, magical items that fall from the realm, grant strange powers to those who possess them. Kliff encounters the Abyss during early main quest stages, discovering puzzle, traversal, and progression systems. Artifacts unlock character upgrades and new abilities.

Roothold
A fortress under the jurisdiction of House Celeste. Was blockaded and besieged by the invading forces of Gwen Kraber until he was defeated by Kliff.
