Although Horizon is an artificially created world, a combination of fabricated components and actual planetary matter, its topographical architecture still follows the guidelines of a A-Class world— that is, a world resembling Terra (as depicted in the Enchiridion) in both dimensions and physical properties. 42% of its surface rises above its three oceans. These landmasses are planetary matter built upon an artificial foundation which extends all the way to the center of the world, an engineering feat beyond compare but which is irrelevant for this description.
Horizon has five continents: Tiamat, Rahab, Hesiod, Levant, Baal. Horizon also has three oceans: Gila, Ashur, Messipholes.
1 The largest of the continents is Tiamat, situated above the equator, spanning across the western and eastern hemisphere respectively. Situated up and above it is surrounded by the Gila ocean in the north-eastern hemisphere and the Ashur ocean (the largest) which spans the entire western hemisphere. Of all the regions and continents, it's the most refined reminiscent of Terra's dream, Babel. As such the weather as dictated by the Merkules Anticyclonic Response System [MARS] allows for smooth facilitation of the usual seasons. As with all continents in the world itself, the mountain ranges and landmasses are constantly shifting, creating new realms, and dissolving others, an ever-changing metamorphosis that seems to be dependent on the will of the Praetor and the inherent Will of Destiny as foretold in the Echiridion. The only places on Tiamat that remain static and constant in clashing dichotomy of landmasses (said to be dragons themselves) is the capital Lunaris Praetorium where The Nibiru Alliance's headquarters and the Post-War Administration Bureau of the cosmos can be found, and the outreach centers along the outskirts of the Praetorium, functioning like lesser cities to their respective kingdoms either on the planet or on one of the many planets throughout the solar system. These include The Veldime Empire, The Reinbach Republic, Vox Morgana, The Kingdom of Zaratras, and the Vesper Trade Association.
2 Rahab, located in the western hemisphere surrounded the Ashur ocean, said to be the tears of Rahab itself, is home of the Vesper Trade Association, and despite it's size and rather boastful population, is referenced more as an island in comparison to the other continents. The least changing of them all, the Vesper Trade Association is one of the few organizations that have an entire continent to themselves and a program of extremely diverse expansion throughout the cosmos. If there is something you need, regardless of where you herald from, or why, they are capable of securing it. Home to many of the most monstrous beasts said to be spawns of their draconian descendants below, they emphasize a firm work ethic while typically distancing themselves from any technology that doesn't make their work more efficient. Headed by a rather experienced leader of both the organization and ambassador of his racoon-looking species (Popori) by the name of Mubgazer Scar, they have become an integral part of the world's ongoing machinations.
3 To the far east of Rahab, and south-east of Tiamat in the corner of the map itself is Hesiod, home of the Observatory of Genesis. Surrounded by hellish mountain ranges of varying temperatures, it's become known as a sacred ground for which only those worthy may enter. Guarded by the united forces of the Nibiru Alliance's Celestial Vanguard, and the elite from the variety of other respective kingdoms and organizations. It is said that keeping the library as far away from the hands of any and all not sanctioned by Nibiru became a priority. The area surrounding the rings of unpredictable mountains is surrounded by a perpetual wasteland of white salt giving the appearance of a ghastly desert: this place being known as the Adroc's Memory, perhaps a homage to the primogenitors journeys and the manifestation of the land itself. Attempting to storm, break into, or make way to the Observatory is time-consuming by land, but suicidal by air. Only rumors can be made of Reinbach's Anti-Air Defense Force, but as they are solely in-charge of the space above Rahab, and the air beyond the Observatory itself, they are rumored to be capable.
