First appears in: The Absent Memory
Esara is the primary continent on the planet Valaralda, politically united under a common rule with its seat of government located in Ilyrion. It is a massive landmass boasting diverse geography, stretching from the ancient northern ruins of Thylmanas to the sprawling Thesserin Desert in the west.
Because the continent is strictly regulated by the Department of Magical Research, "it was illegal to create darkprime wood anywhere on the continent of Esara". The narrative notes that the elves of Esara "weren’t nearly as murderous as the Cothellon had been", maintaining a society that refuses to participate in the ritual killings required to fuel darkprime magic.
