Omoserica, commonly referred to as China, is a continent in the northern hemisphere. The second largest continent in the world after Originalia, Omoserica boasts the highest mountain range in the world, along with a vast expanse of woodlands to the south. Humanity arrived on Omoserica's southern shores roughly 30,000 years ago, in a slow migration over the ocean from Originalia.
