|Introduction='''Dalel''' is the realm of earth in [[Adaris]] and the domain of [[Yairan]], the [[Primordial Spirit]] of Earth. It comprises all land: the continents, islands, and subterranean spaces inhabited by mortal peoples. Dalel was originally an unbroken expanse of stone and the only tangible realm. It was reduced to its present extent during the [[Great Erosion]], when water, air, and fire entered it. It is surrounded by [[Aasila]], the realm of water, and lies beneath [[Zayam]], the realm of air, and above [[Píñáku]], the realm of fire.

[[Aahi]], the Primordial Spirit of Water, had no realm of its own and forced its way into Dalel. [[Yavi]] and [[Metihi]], the spirits of air and fire, followed. The resulting conflict between the elements is known as the Great Erosion. Water cut rivers, lakes, and seas into the stone, wind wore down its surface, and fire broke through from below. Dalel was reduced from an unbounded realm to separate landmasses surrounded by sea.

During the conflict Yairan created the [[Namuril]] as warriors and protectors of the realm. [[Konmai]], the Primordial Spirit of time, also emerged during this period, and its arrival caused the elements to act on one another in sequence. The conflict was ended by the [[Enarei]], who were created by [[Umalyu]].

Yairan withdrew to the [[Domain of Yairan]], within the [[Așdilu Mountains]] of [[Khamria]]. It is regarded as the only part of Dalel that remains in its original state.

After the Great Erosion, [[Ascendant Spirit|Ascendant Spirits]] settled in the regions of Dalel and shaped their terrain, plants, and animals. The first civilizations in Dalel were those of its non-human native peoples. Humans, who originated on the island of [[Haberria]], spread across Dalel during the [[Great Migration]] and developed into distinct peoples under the influence of the spirits of the regions where they settled.

|Geography=Dalel is a flat plane. Its land consists of three continents and the large island of [[Orhuart]], separated by the seas of Aasila. Only two of the continents, [[Méniail]] and [[Luraskor]], have established names. <!-- REVIEW: third continent unnamed -->

Rivers, lakes, and seas within and between the landmasses are regarded as part of Aasila's intrusion into Dalel rather than as part of Dalel itself.
