"The central known continent of the realm of Achaea, Sapience, stretches from the north pole to just south of the equator." From the Sapience Wiki article. Best to use realms probably for now just for consistency.

I don't like Planet either but when it comes down to it... it's a planet. [[User:Aztecia|Azzie]] 08:54, 4 Jul 2005 (GMT) | I don't like Planet either but when it comes down to it... it's a planet. [[User:Aztecia|Azzie]] 08:54, 4 Jul 2005 (GMT) | ||
Yeah... You're going for consistency using the Sapience article's reference to "realm" paradigmatically, but actually, I originally wrote the word "planet" in, and Lereas went and changed it later on. "Realm" is a very broad term and can indeed apply in context, but I have found that in Achaea it usually stands for one of two definitions: 1) a plane of existence - i.e. a universe, or 2) the area of philosophy over which a god holds sway.
