'''Calémere''' ({{IPA|[kaˈreːmere]}} in [[Cerian]], {{IPA|[kaˈleːmere]}} in [[Íscégon]]; ''Kolêmer'' {{IPA|[kɔˈlemɛr]}} in [[Nordulaki]]; ''Kalìmeri'' {{IPA|[kaˈlimeri]}} in modern [[Nivarese]]; ''Liloejāṃrya'' {{IPA|[ɴ̆iɴ̆ɔə̯ɟ͡ʑãːʀja]}} in [[Chlouvānem]], ''Rjalniszetes'' {{IPA|[c͡çæ͡ɑɮnisɛtɛʃ]}} in [[Skyrdagor]], ''C'yuweƛiłp'eɂ'' {{IPA|[ts'juwetɬ'iɬˈp'ɛʔ]}} in [[Spocian]]) is an earthlike planet orbiting the star known with names such as ''Rénon'' (Cerian) or ''Hånna'' (Chlouvānem). The demonym used in all related articles is Calémerian (natively ''Calémeron'' in Cerian, ''Liloejāṃrei'' in Chlouvānem).

Calémere has two satellites: the greater of the two moons is known amongst other names as ''Ašeira'' (Cer.) / ''Axéras'' (Ísc.) / ''Hulyā'' (Chl.) / ''Eszjel'' (Sky.), while the lesser is known as ''Dógato'' (Cer.) / ''Dalgato'' (Ísc.) / ''Tuva'' (Chl.) / ''Othjol'' (Sky.).

* '''Gurdugal''' (Cer. ''Gúrodogáro'') lies mostly on the same continental plate as Evandor/Márusúturon, from which it is divided by skerry-filled straits, but it is usually considered a different continent first of all for its sheer size - even if more than half of it is tundra or, most commonly, ice cap - and also because it is the only "continent" which is not mainly populated by humans (apart from really small settlements on some coasts) but by orcs. Its northern coast is also the northernmost land on the planet, reaching over 84ºN.

* The '''Chlouvānem''' model is used in the Chlouvānem Inquisition and in the rest of the former Kaiṣamā except Gorjan (which follows the Skyrdegan one).

* The '''Skyrdegan''' model is used in the countries of Greater Skyrdagor (including Ogotet'hep).

'''Márusúturon''' is the common name for the part of the largest Calemerian continental landmass which is not defined as either Evandor or Védren. It is, according to climate and biomes, the most varied continent, containing every single major biome type. At the present day, Evandorian anthropologists define it as being mostly divided in four large cultural spaces: the Chlouvānem one - whose [[Verse:Chlouvānem Inquisition|Inquisition]] covers a third or even half of the continent depending on definition, Greater Skyrdagor, the cultural Nâdja-lands (in the part of Márusúturon that is considered to be part of Evandor by countries such as Nivaren or Kalo), and the Dabuke cultural area straddling the geographical border with Védren. The steppe countries (<small>AKA</small> the Kenengyry steppe and nearby areas, e.g. the high mountains of Kŭyŭgwažtov) between the two inland seas are sometimes considered to be a distinct area, which, however, has historically had major influences first by the Nâdja, then by the Skyrdegans, and finally by the Chlouvānem; this classification also excludes New Égélonía in the far northeastern taiga, a former Cerian colony which is the only country in Márusúturon where the majority of the population is of Evandorian descent.<br/>

* '''Nadrenic Ocean''' (Cer.: ''sotéa Nadoréneo''; Nor. ''xotá Nadrênt''; Spc.: ''č'łup' e t'weyƛ'' <small>"Northern Sea"</small>; Chl.: ''våšidælti mairān'' <small>"Spocian Ocean"</small>; Western name from ''Nadren'', the Goddess of the Seas in Nivarese mythology), lying between Védren to the south, Púríton to the west, and Evandor/Márusúturon to the east. Its northern limit is usually defined as a straight line between the northernmost point of Evandor (on Holenagika) at 71ºN and the northernmost point of Púríton at 67ºN; its southernmost limit between Védren and Púriton is considered to be between Cape Sóroten on Púríton (5ºN) and the westernmost point of Cáren Island off Védren (8ºN).

* '''Védrenian Ocean''' (Cer.: ''sotéa Védurenon''; Nor. ''xotá Vêdrenin''; Chl.: ''šortumi mairān'' <small>"Ocean of Harpies"</small>), the ocean lying between Védren (NE), Fárásen (SE), Ceránento (SW), and Púríton (NW). The northern limit is the southern limite of the Nadrenic Ocean; the western limit is a line from Cape Ħaig, the northwesternmost tip of Ceránento, to Bérin Point, the southernmost point of Púríton; while the eastern limit is a line from Cape Tunar, the southernmost point of Védren, to Cape Áburon, the northernmost point of Fárásen. There is no internationally agreed limit to the south between Ceránento and Fárásen, nor internationally agreed definitions for that area of the world ocean.

* '''Rondian Ocean''' (Cer.: ''sotéa Róndenon''; Nor. ''xotá Rûdanys'' (from Róndan, an area in northwestern Védren); Chl.: (partially) ''maichleyuñci camimairān'' <small>"Great Southern Ocean"</small>; (partially) ''naleiyuñci kūdrivi mairān'' <small>"East Fárásenian Ocean"</small>), the large ocean between Védren, western Márusúturon, Ovítioná, and reaching to the northeastern shores of Fárásen. Its eastern limit is not clearly defined, as it is a line from Cape Dhūrandēvi - the southernmost point of Márusúturon and of the core area of the Chlouvānem Inquisition - to one of five different points on the central part of the northern coast of Ovítioná depending on the source. Chlouvānem sources have a completely different definition as they consider the waters from Fárásen to a line from the southernmost point of the Keros Peninsula in Védren - also the southernmost point of the Védrenian mainland - to the westernmost point of Ovítioná (a line very close, in its southern part, to the Cerian Prime Meridian) to be a different ocean, the East Fárásenian Ocean (''naleiyuñci kūdrivi mairān''), and the core Rondian Ocean is not distinguished from the Antipodal Ocean to the east, forming a larger ocean called the Great Southern Ocean (''maichleyuñci camimairān''), as it lies south of most of the Chlouvānem Inquisition.

* '''Antipodal Ocean''' (Cer.: ''sotéa táserótodon''; Nor. ''xotá taseroitiħ''; Chl.: (partially) ''maichleyuñci camimairān'' <small>"Great Southern Ocean"</small>, (partially) ''lanāyumi mairān'' <small>"Ocean of Islands</small>), so called because it lies on the opposite side of the planet to Evandor (even if not all Evandorian areas are actually antipodal to it), lying between eastern Márusúturon, Ovítioná, southern Púríton and northwestern Ceránento, including most of Queáten inside its waters; its northeasternmost limit - between Márusúturon and Púríton - is usually considered to be the Equator, which cuts across Ecáréton, the main landmass of Queáten. Chlouvānem sources consider most of it to be part of the Great Southern Ocean, but the eastern third of the Evandorian definition (east of a line starting from the southernmost point of Tanomaliē island at the southeastern end of Márusúturon, cutting through the Nukahucē atoll chain, and reaching the northeasternmost point of Ovítioná) is known as a separate ocean, the Ocean of Islands (''lanāyumi mairān''), so called because of its large number of high oceanic islands.

* '''Doron Ocean''' (Cer.: ''sotéa Doron''; Nor. ''xotá Dôron'' (from a mythological figure of Western Púrítonen natives); Chl. ''kaitajašu ga mairān'' (from ''Kāitazashu'', "East Water" in the Toyubeshi language)), lying between Márusúturon, Púríton, and the northern shores of Queáten. Its northern border is internationally agreed as the northern Polar Circle between the continental islands associated to the two continents.

* '''Northern Polar Ocean''' (Cer.: ''sotéa púrodon časúnnon''; Nor. ''xotá pureħ kjosîħ''; Chl.: ''lalla kehamyuñci mairān'' <small>"High Northern Ocean"</small>), the ocean lying north of all continental landmasses up to the North Pole. Due to the continents' position, the geographical "Polar Ocean" actually extends as far south as 27°N in central Márusúturon.

** '''Orcish Straits''' (Cer.: ''cárotósio orógiodon''; Nor. ''kartoig euriħ''; Chl.: ''etekleṃrān šimbroe''), a series of skerry-filled straits lying between northwestern Márusúturon (and far northeastern Evandor) and the "orcish continent" of Gurdugal.

** '''Skyrdegan Inner Sea''' (Cer.: ''čésion terósi Sucirodágoron''; Nor. ''kix prait Xkirdaigiħ''; Sky.: ''skyrdegan szavyk''; Chl.: ''ṣurṭāgi jaryā'' <small>"Sea of Skyrdagor"</small>), a sea inside Márusúturon named after the Skyrdegan islands that are the most prominent geographical feature inside it. It is, practically, a closed sea for about half of the year, as the only possible connection to the other seas is by the Orcish Straits (both of whose ends are above the Polar Circle, and usually freeze during the winter), as circumnavigating either Gurdugal or eastern Márusúturon would mean reaching latitudes of over 84°N, well into the permanent sea ice area.

* '''Southern Polar Ocean''' (Cer.: ''sotéa púrodon quéšonion''; Nor. ''xotá pureħ hexuniħ''; Chl.: ''lalla maichleyuñci mairān'' <small>"High Southern Ocean"</small>), the ocean lying south of all continental landmasses up to the South Pole; its northern limits are the southern coasts of the three southern hemisphere continents.

* Orcs (Cer.: ''orógio''; Chl.: ''eteklen''), living mostly in subpolar areas - all of Gurdugal and northern Púríton in the northern hemisphere, and a good part of central-southern Fárásen and the southern reaches of Ovítioná in the southern; orcs of the two hemispheres are still of a single species, but there are three radically different races. They're the largest non-human civilization.

* Lizardmen (Cer.: ''féronébosa''; Chl.: ''mevišlas''), living in wetlands and swamps by some coastlines; like orcs, there is a southern hemisphere race, living mostly in eastern Ovítioná, and a northern hemisphere one on the islands between Márusúturon and Quéaten (even if, geographically, some of these are actually south of the Equator).

The "New World" (all other continents) is nowadays often dominated (esp. Púríton and northern Céránento) by speakers of Evandorian languages introduced in the colonial era, but some areas where native languages survive have a very high diversity. Such clusters include southern Púríton, large parts of inland Fárásen, eastern Ovítioná, and inland Écáreton (Queáten's largest island). In the Old World, the areas with the widest language diversity are western and southwestern Védren and the southern rainforests of Márusúturon. In most of the landmass, however, successive migrations and invasions have led to only a few major groups to prevail. Scattered isolates (or members of other families, including e.g. Yombu-Raina languages in central-western Márusúturon or all non-Chlouvānem Lahob languages) still persist in some areas, especially more remote mountains, taiga, or other isolated areas.<br/>The Nduagaz languages are the only language family that was present both in the Old and the New World before the colonial era: from the probable Urheimat in southwestern Púríton (where three subbranches are located), the speakers spread in many islands of Queáten, forming two new branches: Inward and Outward Melau. The Outward Melau branch itself has four sub-branches, two only found on the islands of Queáten, while the other two (Heiga and Litoic) are also found in the islands off Márusúturon (the Southeastern Islands of the Inquisition): some Heiga languages are spoken in the southern Leyunakā islands, while the Litoic branch, apart from Hysa spoken on Hysa Island in Queáten, is spoken on Tanomalē and nearby islands, on the Nukahucē islands, and has a geographical outlier in the islands of Kaikǣpē, at the opposite end of the Jahībušanī Sea, off the Southern Inquisition.
