The Four Corners of Civilization is the civilised world encompassing The Commonwealth, Ceald, Modeg, and Vintas.

Description[]

Respectively, the four corners are Tarbean, Renere, Ralien, and Cershaen.[1] The term in general refers to the countries where those cities are (see above). Ademre is not part of the Four Corners,[2] and Yll is presumed not to be.[3] It is uncertain if The Small Kingdoms are or not. The best definition appears to be 'places where Cealdish currency is widely used'.[4]
