The world of [[Aetolia]] consists, as far as its denizens currently know, of a single planet made up of several massive landmasses, known as '''continents'''. Used in the game's context, a continent shares similarities with a [[plane]], especially in that players cannot see players on another continent, or communicate with them in any way but [[messaging]] or [[letters]]. Having passed into common [[slang]], the term is something of a misnomer, and also refers to a number of [[islands]].

=== Continents of Aetolia ===
[[Sapience]]
* The main landmass of Aetolia, and notably the (current) largest, this is where most of the activity and content of the game resides.
 
[[Polyargos]]
* A small island off the west coast of Sapience, accessible by a [[ferry]] in [[Scidve Cove]]. Said to be the residence of a fearsome [[dragon]].
 
[[Ulangi]]
* A tropical island east of Sapience, in the [[Beryl Sea]]. Ulangi is home to the [[grook]] and [[horkval]]. It can be reached from the ferry just outside of [[Delos]].
 
[[Asper]]
* A freezing glacier, reached from the ferry in the [[Southern Tundra]]. It is home to a number of fearsome magical creatures and is extremely dangerous.
 
[[Albedos]]
* A massive, uncharted continent, speculated to be as large as, if not larger than, Sapience. Notably home of the [[Drakkenmont Empire]], its reaches are still being explored and charted by Sapient citizens.
 
=== Inter-continental Ramifications ===
When arriving on a continent, players are deposited into a [[instance|non-instanced]], segregated portion of the game, with its own maps, channels, and more. Certain limitations are put into effect while on a continent apart from others:
 
* Most forms of communication are impossible. Players may speak on clans and other public channels as normal, but will not be heard by players on other continents, nor will they hear what those players are saying. Using [[orgtells]] (CTELLS, GTELLS, etc.) will show all messages, regardless of continent.
 
* Players can receive messages and letters as normal.
 
* Cross-area transportation skills ({{skill|Lust Tarot|Lust}}, {{skill|Deliver}}, {{skill|Track}} etc.) do not function if the target is on another continent.
 
* Players on other continents cannot be seen on [[Who Lists]], though occasionally [[Gods]] can be seen, and some skills may erroneously indicate the presence of [[Earthmeld|earthmelded]] [[Vampires]].
