Primordia is one of the continents on Mira. This is the continent where New Los Angeles crash landed.

Geography[edit]

Primordia is a continent on Mira, located in the southwestern part of the accessible area between the continents of Noctilum and Oblivia. The land is defined by large areas of grassland combined with many large inland lakes, with large, hollow mountains in the north and eastern areas of the continent.

The continent is dotted with large bodies of water: Biahno River in western Primordia flows into the Biahno Lake with a small branch leading into the northern ocean. Sayram Lake acts as a central lake with large amounts of Millesaurs, and the eastern Janpath Lake feeds the many creatures that roam free in the various parts of the Janpath Plain. There are additionally smaller bodies of water including the wetlands of the Silent Mire and the lakes underneath the hollow mountains of the East Gate Plain.

The southern part of the continent contains the city of New Los Angeles, which crash-landed on Mira following an attack from the Ghosts. This is the one human settlement in Mira, and acts as a safe place for humanity following their exodus from Earth. However, there are also two Ganglion settlements in the continent, at the Seaswept Base in the southeast and the Bedrock Hold in the northwest.

Primordia is connected to Noctilum primarily by a few narrow corridors known as the Green Threshold and the Wonderment Bluff. On its east, past the Janpath Plain, Primordia is connected to the desert continent of Oblivia through a land bridge also known as La Mancha.

North of Primordia past the Arendt Bridge, there exists an archipelago of islands that act as a passageway through the Primordia Waters to the continent of Sylvalum.
