The Permanently Uncharted Continent is an enormous and hostile landmass on the far side of Geba, beyond all mapped domains of the Empire. It is considered the most violent and unstable terrain on the planet—defined by deep fissures, volcanic eruptions, stratospheric peaks, and perpetual, unpredictable storms. All exploration attempts have failed with no recoveries. Some imperial Vessel visions suggest the land is not entirely real—an unfinished boundary, hallucinated by doctrine and unreconciled by creation. Though many eras sought to map or settle it, all were rejected by its chaos. It remains a symbol of Geba’s outermost limits, feared even by the Maw.

Terrain

Volcanic fields, mantle-exposed cracks, ash-covered plains, stratospheric mountains, and tornado-ravaged valleys. The terrain constantly shifts under seismic and stellar pressure, never stabilizing long enough to be charted or traversed.

Elevation

Features both deep fissures plunging kilometers below sea level and jagged peaks rising over 60 km. Volcanic plateaus collapse and reform, producing rifts that fracture without warning.

Climate

Thermal chaos. Temperatures in volcanic zones reach 50–80°C, while stellar wind surges can plunge surface readings below −50°C within minutes. No habitable equilibrium is possible.

Weather

Perpetual lightning storms, ash clouds from eruptions, molten rivers, wind-torn hail events, tornado funnels, and ionized vortexes. No forecast models exist. Storms emerge and vanish without pattern.

Historical Significance

• No expeditions have returned. No landings have been confirmed.
• Theoretical data derived solely from Vessel visions, particularly during Raeth’s era.
• Declared forbidden by imperial doctrine: interpreted as a hallucination, metaphysical boundary, or failed formation.
• Feared even in modern eras as the Empire confronted the Maw—no claims or campaigns ever reached it.
• Embodies the edge of Geban knowledge—untouchable and unprovable.

Culture

None. No sentient life, no known history of habitation. It exists only through theory, dread, and imperial restraint. Many regard it as a myth or misinterpreted Vessel vison. If it exists, it is an unformed scar where law failed to reach.
