The Monster Continent. A land discovered quite by accident by captain Velveto decades ago. It is home to hundreds of different kinds of monsters, maybe thousands! Some old scrolls mention this land, saying an ancient god of Dreams lies sleeping there, somewhere at the bottom of a gigantic dungeon. The creatures above him become the monsters he dreams about.

You came to the monster continent aboard Captain Klein's ship. He leaves you in the harbor of Velvetia with warning:
"Don't stray too far from the city. The monsters further inland are far more dangerous."
