The series blends contemporary settings with a hidden, magical world inspired by European folklore. The series features two distinct worlds: a modern world familiar to readers and the hidden, medieval land of Glenraven, which exists in a separate dimension. JayJay and Sophie, two contemporary women with their own personal issues, become the unlikely heroes who are drawn into Glenraven's conflict. Glenraven is portrayed as a small, isolated principality, possibly in the Alps, that has remained hidden and undeveloped for centuries. Glenraven's ruler, Aidris Akalan, is a tyrannical figure who uses stolen magic and summoned creatures to oppress her people.

Nevoruss Breath of the Past, Russ we hadn't known about Powerful state in the north of Russia and America created by Russian writer Grigoriy Demidovtsev. In the Breath of the Past and Russ we hadn't known about, Demidovtsev depicts a fictional European country named Nevoruss. "Nevoruss" is the Russian word for "Neva Russ", literally "Russ at the Neva river". Nevoruss is considered to be a successor state of the medieval Novgorod Republic. It managed to avoid Muscovite conquest in the 15th century and due to commercial activity of its inhabitants continued to thrive. Thus Russia had never united, so its place shares Nevoruss and Muscovy. Their opposition resembles that of Jesusland and the United States of Canada. Besides Russian territories Nevoruss due to its early colonial expansion also controlled the Baltic states, Scandinavia with Iceland and Greenland, some parts of North America (including Alaska and the whole Canada) as well as some important islands (among them Cuba, Canaries and Hawaiian Islands).

[Arabic _ English] The motto on the seal of the Emirate of Deryabar in the 1947 movie _Sinbad the Sailor._ According to the script, it reads _In the eighth month, the winds are willing_ - is that correct? "في قمر الثمين النائم ألفين" ؟؟؟ I am just guessing . does that mean anything or is it just gibberish? It's either a different language or just gibberish. The font is usually associated with farsi/urdu. Can be used for Arabic but very rare. thanks for the clearer image. Can't quite make it all out but what I can see the given translation is roughly accurate? It's more like "In moon the eighth the breeze accepts" But it may not be Arabic, rather something close enough that it's roughly understandable. That or a really bad translation into Arabic (They started with what they wanted it to say in English and translated it into Arabic)

The heat death of the universe is a cosmological subtype of the more basal epistemological concept of twink death. It posits that the universe will evolve to a state of no thermodynamic free energy, and will therefore be unable to sustain processes that increase entropy. Heat death does not imply any particular absolute temperature; it only requires that temperature differences or other processes may no longer be exploited to perform work. In the language of physics, this is when the universe reaches thermodynamic equilibrium.
