	In the earliest parts of the era, the people in Lim Phat were at a roughly stone-age level of technology, living in small, isolated groups, without writing or any sort of connected culture.

	The few surviving oral histories tell of "when they came" or "when the fire came", and the consensus is that mages from other worlds traveled to Lim Phat. Most likely they came in search of raw materials, as Lim Phat has significant deposits of gold, [[Orichalcum]], and other sought-after metals. Of particular oddity is the strange amount of [[Star Metal]](meteoric iron), extremely useful in enchanting, but also theoretically unavailable on a flat world.

Flying a specially-outfitted survey plane, they traversed 26,000 miles from the most northerly airstrip in the surveyed regions before fuel time forced them to turn around. While numerous ruins were sighted from this mission, no sign of an end or [[Repeating horizon]] was discovered. Accounting for surveys made in the other cardinal directions, Lim Phat is known to contain a land mass of at least 2.7 billion square miles.		The whole of Lim Phat has never been fully explored.

New page

Lim Phat is a [[Known Worlds#Flat Dimensions|Flat Dimension]] in a region of the [[Known Worlds]] called [[The Outer Rim]]. Like the other members of the Rim, it is in a separate [[Domain]] from [[Arindell]] and is thus challenging to reach by magical means.

==Climate==
The climate and topography of Lim Phat vary heavily from that of [[Arindell]]. While the later has a cluster of large continents and tall mountains, Lim Phat lacks any particularly great bodies of water or precipitous mountains. What peeks it does have are mostly volcanic or comprise very short and low ranges, making widespread travel on foot quite simple. The climate is mostly mild with harsh winters in some regions, and has a great deal of jungles and deciduous forests.

==History==
Lim Phat has many ruins dating back to [[Antiquity]]. Like most regions, it's history prior to the [[Age of Darkness]] is unknown, but based on the number and quality of discovered ancient sites, it is thought to have not been heavily peopled. Though dating sites from that era is generally difficult, most historians hold the region was mostly or wholy abandoned somtime in middle [[Antiquity#Greater Antiquity|Greater Antiquity]].

===Age of Darkness===
Due to to the nature of the world, there was little reason to form large settlements during the early period. Land was exceptionally plentiful, so any disagreements could be solved by simply picking a direction and walking in it. Magic grew here as it did anywhere else, and the surviving oral traditions of Lim Phat tell of a shamanic custom in this early and dimply-remembered past.

===Mage Wars===
The first [[Mage Tower|tower]] on Lim Phat is tentatively dated to 3650 [[B.G.A.]], or about 150 years after [[High Tower]]. This is the start of Tower Magic on Lim Phat, but the wars had come long before then. It was once widely held that Lim Phat invented tower magic independently of Arindell, but the general circumstances do not bear that out.
