Thuria was, during the Pre-Cataclysmic Age, one of Earth's largest land masses, although smaller continents such as Atlantis and the eastern continent Mu existed, as did several island chains. Most of Earth was unexplored wilderness, but contained scattered clans of primitive humans.[citation needed]
One of the nations to exist at the time was Valusia, with its capital, the City of Wonders, ruled by King Kull.[6]
Thuria later became Hyboria, then later Europe, Asia, and Africa.[7]

- The Nameless Isle (Siojina-Kisua) was a remnant[17] (or more likely an island possession) of Valusia.[18]
- An undisclosed island, inhabited by the Cult of the Leopard and the setting of the castle of Dom Vinsala.[19]
Minor isles around Thuria included Zahrahn (seemingly off its western or northern coast, see notes on Zahrahn's page). On the mainland or on islands, Grebuhl and Auuroghan were seemingly seaports on the Nespian Trade Routes.[20]
Greater land masses, continents and archipelagoes included:
- Atlantis to the west
- The Pictish Isles to the west
- Mu
- The Lemurian Isles to the northeast
- The Nameless Continent to the southeast
- Demascar and Rikos to the south[21]
- "Thuranian" was used as an adjective form for Thuria,[22] although it may be the result of a confusion between Thuria and Thurania, a Thurian kingdom.
- Thuria is sometimes erroneously stated to later be known as the Americas[23] rather than Hyboria,[citation needed] then later Europe, Asia, and Africa.[7]
