# The Known World: Midgard

### Trivia

* Midgard is the designation for the familiar Earth as humans know it. In this cosmology, the nations of the Earth realm (Astral Conclave, Banished Ancients, ...) are a central "pond" or quadratic crater surrounded by the Antarctic Ice Walls.
* It is viewed as a quarantine zone or a "nursery" civilization that has been deliberately isolated from the greater world to develop independently or for protection.

### Inhabitants

* Standard human civilization ([The Unenlightened](/entities/npcs/f-rank/the-unenlightened.md) and [Villagers](/entities/npcs/f-rank/villagers.md)).
* Standard Monsters existing in dark places (like the [Ghoul](/entities/monsters/f-class/ghoul.md), [Sculk Lurkerer](/entities/monsters/f-class/sculk-lurkerer.md), [Mechanical Abomination](/entities/monsters/f-class/mechanical-abomination.md), [Phantom Whisperer](/entities/monsters/f-class/phantom-whisperer.md)) 

### Zone Boundaries

It is encircled by [The Ice Walls](/dim/overworld/zones/the-ice-walls.md) around the XZ coordinates (±7000, ±7000) from XZ: (0, 0), which acts as the barrier preventing travel to the outer rings.

To pass through the ice wall boundary, you need to defeat Leviathan (or any other boss in [The Ice Walls](/dim/overworld/zones/the-ice-walls.md)).
