(«^») Iris Exurrana
Paradox is both strange and dangerous. It's likened to a twisted mirror of your world. It's similar in many ways but at the same time is very, very different.
Paradox is made up of six continents. Sylphyr to the northwest. Sylphyr is mostly rainforest. It's a tropical rainforest in the northern half, and a temperate rainforest in the southern half. It also has a large swath of swamplands to the south east. This land used to house a grand kingdom, but it didn't survive into the seventh era. It's now home to a small queendom of pirates. To the southwest is Dreamyr. Dreamyr is a land best described as ‘bathed in shadow’. The atmosphere is thick, and is deep purple no matter where you go, and you can never see the sky. This continent is dominated by two trading empires, Shaelax in the east and Lylyria in the west. In the midsouth lies Nil Yn. It's cut into two by a man made strait. The entire continent forms a massive U shape, with an island in the middle. The eastern half of Nil Yn is mostly prismatic forest, with a massive savanna in the far south. On the west side the entire landscape is covered with cherry blossom forests. Three kingdoms lie here, Yn Dyr in the east, Yn Sil in the west, and Vaelik to the northeast. In the far southeast is Gyla. Mostly desert with some tropical rainforest in the north. It's home to the kingdom of Nyjula. To the north of Gyla is Alexandria. Dominated mostly by mountain ranges, and red forests, only one queendon makes its home here, which is also known as Alexandria. And finally, in the middle east lies Vyra. It's the only continent that resides within the circles of Neve and Eir, and is extremely cold but still habitable.

Paradox is tilted at 55° which switches the where the cold and hot areas are. On Paradox, the equator is where The Circles of Eir and Neve are, and is the coldest part of the world. The poles are the hottest, and contain The Tropics of Adara and Nuria. Paradox is also overall warmer, which means that the oceans at the equator don't freeze over.
Paradox has two moons, both of which are very large and habitable. Nova is the larger moon, and is almost completely made up of water. It's also completely frozen over, and only has one land mass. Pyre is slightly smaller, and is extremely hot. It's mostly just a massive, sandy desert with little water.
Paradox is about twice the radius of earth. Nova and Pyre are about the same size of earth.
On Paradox we measure time like this XE/XY/XM/XD stating the era, year, month, and day in that order. Paradox orbits very far away from our sun, so its year is 1092 days. Months are all 91 days long, with 13 seven day weeks. A day is 36 hours, and hours, minutes, and seconds are the same as yours. Our seasons run from 10M/1D to 1M/1D (The Ice Spell) then from 1M/1D to 4M/1D (The Flora Spell) then from 4M/1D to 7M/1D (The Fire Spell) 7M/1D to 10M/1D (The Earth Spell)

My Servant Is An Elf-Knight From Another World
It was just like any other day, or so I thought at least. The birds were chirping up on trees, clouds were rolling by the bright blue sky and Elves were dumpster diving in the alleyway. Okay, one of those three didn't sound right... I had a boring life once. Recently though, it has become less boring... to put it one way. Finding a random Elf in the dumpster? Heh, must be a Monday. A normal person would have walked by. A normal person would have ignored it. I must be a pretty weird guy, then. Now I have this Elf swearing her allegiance to me. What's next, vampires? Better not jinx it.
