# The World
Welcome to **Breath of Estova**, a decentralized world where immersive gameplay meets play-to-earn innovation.
Estova has five kingdoms. **Valura, Auron, Talora, Kharadin, Ghorak,** each with its own history, ideology, and reason to distrust the other four.
Two zones are playable in the Public Alpha. The remaining kingdoms arrive with the main game launch.
## Kohira's Isle
The opening zone, orcs, spiders and the forest! Low-level combat, the first quest chain, and secrets across the map for players who explore properly.
## Nerathis
The larger second zone. Hub city for mining, woodcutting and cooking. op. The **Cave of Depths** runs beneath it.
