There are six Namesakes on The Continent. Namesakes are the physical titanic creatures that resemble animals and warp the land and societies around them.
- Namesakes are the size of skyscrapers.
- No Namesake has died in living memory, but enormous skeletal remains suggest it is possible for them to die.
- They cannot be felled by mortal means, though it seems they can be killed by supernatural creatures like demons or other Namesakes.
- Creatures and peoples born near Namesakes can have physical mutations that resemble that namesake.
- Individuals are referred to as being "from" their Namesake, and that identity is similar national identities in other settings. Someone might be "From Dragon", for example.
- War between Namesakes is rare and the height of conflict is the literal clashing between two opposing gigantic beasts.
Dragon (The Dragon of Dragons)
- Vibe: Generico Pseudo-Medieval European. Lots of Knights in Armor and Wealthy Lords and Ladies. Lots of annoying evil dragons to kill.
- Tribulation Event: The Hero or Heroes of Light must defeat the """Demon Lord"""
- Major Faction: The Royal Church of the Dragon
- Minor Faction: The Peoples Rebellion
The Dragon of Dragons loves tyrants beloved absolute rulers. The Dragon of Dragons will jealously cut down invaders and mass rebellions. Other namesakes tend to avoid Dragon when possible except for Tiger.
Tiger (The Smiling Ghost)
- Vibe: Dark Jungles, Swamps, and Forests. Gothic castles on hills unusually prone to thunderstorms. Mercenaries in colorful striped outfits. Murder clowns.
- Tribulation Event: The Great Show must entertain The Smiling Ghost or it's descendants will massacre the people of the land.
- Major Faction: The Great Show
- Minor Faction: The Esoteric Order of Exorcists

Rabbit (The Twin Hares)
- Vibe: Pseudo-kung fu/wuxia. Rice fields and mountains.
Honorable samurai fighting bandits. - Tribulation Event: The Sword Saint and Masters of Blade must defend the Twin Hares from the Night of 77 Million Demons as the pour out from the Gates of Hell, culminating with the 13 Tailed Fox whose size rivals their Namesake.
- Major Faction: The Dojo of the Black Hare Arts
- Minor Faction: The Bardic College of the White Hare Arts
The area around the Twin Hares has unusual gravity. Their presence causes floating pieces of land with their own gravity to spontaneously appear, upon which are built many "Schools of Heaven".
