You know what is missing in these kind of game's trailers? grin
Just for once, a mentioning of at least this kind of information. Thank you so much for it.
We are just thrown into the midst of it all with almost no clue about what is going on 100% of the time! ^_^

And it really looks like not even the original creator of it all was sure about what is supposed to be what.

Fae'run for example has the "Fae" within it, but its not part of the Faewald, not all of its inhabitants are Fae and it is the name for this "Earth like place material plane".
So far so easy to remember.
Continent, planet - what exactly does not matter.
But most probably the place the players run around in.


Let us hope Larian will put a spectacular and scenic library in the game later on, recording the history of the game's universe.
I would spend much time there.
