Ysthar

Ysthar is one of the Nine Worlds and was the original (pre-Fall) location of Astandalas, the capital of The Empire of Astandalas.

Post-Fall Ysthar is broadly equivalent to modern-day Earth, though with magic existing in secret.

Post Fall
After the Fall, magic and time were broken on Ysthar to a greater extent to the other Worlds of the Empire. Ten or twelve thousand years passed while only a few decades passed on other worlds.

History on Ysthar was similar to Earth history, except many myths and legends were true. Examples mentioned:
 * Gilgamesh
 * Jason and the Argonauts, Circe, and presumably other Greek myths
 * Orpheus and Eurydice, though Orpheus did not travel to the land of the dead
 * Scheherazade
