On Dayside there is a large circular continent that can be found, on this landmass there are a variety of countries. The largest and most powerful nations is [[Kerzta]] which is located on the western portion of the Dayside continent. Its people worship the [[Sand Lord]] and abide by the [[Ker'Reen Philosophy]]. [[Lossand]] is a country that is immediately next to it and stretches in a wedge from [[KraeDa]] in the center of the continent to the southern coast around the [[Ry'Do Ali River]]. It is ruled by the Council of [[Taishin]], the heads of the eight Professions vital to their life and culture. Both of these nations have an enmity with one another due to Kerzta accepting Sand mastery, althought they have not been in direct conflict in centuries.
