The Earth-like planet of Dota 2 is a major location.

Description
The planet of Dota 2 is a huge rock with life on it.

The Earth
Tectonic plates beneath the surface that continue to shift make the earth's surface and subterranean realms ever changing.

The Waters
Meanwhile, in the earth's larger bodies of water like oceans and seas, the sheer weight of the massive amounts of water gives the depths its crushing weight against anyone under it in the deep. The planet's surface is not the only place where water is, as ancient reservoirs of water lie deep in the center of the world, ready to well up as unnatural called upon by a certain Admiral. A bit less deeper in the earth are aquifers, which were drawn upon by Verodicia to nourish her saplings. The Moon is responsible for the ebb and flow of the tides as it pulls the world's waters with its orbit, influencing the sea levels.

Atmosphere
Regarding the air of this Earth, it's pretty much the same in real-life. The wind brushes upon the surface of the water and, if they are strong enough, causes water waves. There are updrafts, rising air currents, that can lift any lighter objects caught in it to great heights. Having a similar atmosphere to real-life Earth, this planet's atmosphere subjects objects entering it to atmospheric friction, heating them up to temperatures hot enough to disintegrate weaker objects. The creation of some storms also involves the mingling of warm fronts and cold fronts, like in real-life. This makes air and wind an essential ingredient in the birth of a storm in this planet's atmosphere.

Gravity
The Earth has its very own gravity which it uses to pull objects to itself, such as the many things bound to its mass and nearby extraterrestrial objects like the occasional meteors or comets passing by it. This gravity is also responsible for capturing satellites like the Mad Moon as well as the orbital stress and tidal forces that it exerts on its satellites.

Magnetism
It's possibly implied that this planet also has a geomagnetic field, since its Earth Spirit, an elemental force at one with the planet itself, makes use of electromagnetism as shown in his and one of his lines towards Io, the Fundamental of electromagnetism. If Earth Spirit is one with this planet, then surely whatever powers he has is a reflection of what the Earth itself possesses, just like every other elemental at one with nature. So his magnetic power is borrowed from the Earth he's one with, implying its magnetic properties and thus the existence of a geomagnetic field.

Genesis
When the planet was still being formed, it used to be a hot blob of matter before it cooled into what it is now. It was during this time its gravity tethered the Mad Moon to it.

The Omniscience's revelation to Purist says that it was the former who made this world by forming a vast mineral shell around itself to defend against extraterrestrial hostiles.

Day and Night
The planet is orbited by more than one satellite. One of them is the Mad Moon, a luminous crystal sphere that was once the prison of the Radiant and Dire Ancients. The Earth's other satellite is its rocky kin, the moon. Unlike the Mad Moon, this moon sheds no light of its own and is characterized by the phases of its surface's shadow. Earth orbits the sun like in real-life. Together with the moon, they complete the world's day and night cycle. But there are rare instances of moonless nights of intense darkness.

Solstices exist in the lore of Dota 2. One such solstice is Wraith-Night, a winter solstice

In Weeping Rose, there is no day and night cycle and only perpetual night reigns alone, allowing the Quorum to harness the power of the night sky's stars as much as they want.

The Four Seasons
There are four seasons on some parts of the Earth that come in this order in a cycle: spring, summer, autumn (or fall), and winter. Spring is a chaotic season when all the plants begin to bloom as winter's chill ebbs, bathing the earth in new color and life. Summer is when the sun shines very brightly as it heats everything beneath it. As its name suggests, fall or autumn is the time when summer's heat begins to fade as the leaves turn brown and fall away shriveled, signifying the arrival of winter. Lastly, winter is the coldest season as the snow falls and ice forms until renewing spring comes round to dispel it once again. First and only mentioned in Nature's Prophet's biography, the vernal equinox marks the very first morning or the beginning of the spring season.

Spirit of the Earth
The planet is alive not only because it supports life, but also because it has its own soul. Thus the earth itself may come alive in the form of earth elementals who spring from the soil and the stone with the spirit of the earth within them.

Spontaneous generation
all comes from earth, return to it, how this happens or the process behind this is unknown

In Dota: Dragon's Blood
The Earth-like planet of Dragon's Blood is pretty much like Dota 2's Earth which is, by extension, very much like real-life Earth. According to the Oracle, the entirety of creation was born from the Primordial Mind, including every planet. Perhaps this planet was made by the Primordial Mind too. But the planet's connection with the Mind doesn't end there. The Mad Moon, the prison of the Radiant and the Dire who were fragments of the Mind, is inextricably linked to this planet as both one of its visible satellites and a major influence in the history of this planet. Its partial destruction introduced Radiant Ore and Direstone to this planet in a cataclysm, before these stones became very sought after by those who found them. The planet and its life survived the storm because the second moon took a portion of the damage the earth would've sustained by using its gravity to pull the incoming moonstuff to itself, allowing just enough life to survive and eventually recover. This Earth is special because it seems to be the sole home of the dragons, the Eldwurm souls' vessels. When the planet was destroyed by meteorites from the Mad Moon, it also killed the Eldwurms who were in their vessels. All of their souls (except Slyrak who was already in Davion) converged on Davion as he was the last compatible vessel for their dragon souls. As Filomena put it, he was the “last dragon” because there was nowhere else for the Eldwurms to go and inhabit a body.

Aerial
High above the earth is the Ghastly Eyrie, a realm so lofty it's said to be among the clouds, the starry skies, in heights with no atmosphere, and even near outer space.

Terrestrial
Many are the north's cold climes, akin to the Arctic. There's Icewrack, an icy waste where the Blueheart Glacier is. Azura and Cobalt are just a few of the north's settlements. To the east is an unnamed, sweltering desert where worshippers of the Solar Goddess congregate. There are hot lands to the south of this planet's equator, such as the Desert of Misrule, although it is also implied to be a southeastern location. The west is home to several forests, such as the high woods beyond the Vale of Augury and the woods that house the village of Zaru'Kina. The drylands are western as well.

The southern reaches are akin to Antarctica; complete with bergs, floes, weak summers, and penguins like Whisky. A bit to the north is a waste that's home to a grand dragon.

Underwater
A vast network of sunken cities lies deep in the lightless gulf of the deepest ocean abysses. This web of structures is a treasure trove that is fiercely guarded by vigilant Slithereen.

But further away beneath these sunken cities is the Infernal Hollow, from where the demon Buki'vak the Corrupted forever spreads his corruption throughout the sea.

Subterranean
The underground city of Aziyog lies deep in an endless cavern walled with obsidian, located beneath the magma fields and simmering roots of dormant volcanoes.

Named after the common beryl deposits found in these deep caves, the Emerald Abyss is a vast subterranean cave where many lifeforms dwell in.

The lofty cliffs of Emauracus are riddled with deep caves that lead to the center of the planet itself where the Omniscience dwells.

Far beneath the surface is the Nether Reaches, an abyssal realm sealed off by tectonic slippage, although vents near this place allow energies to seep out of it.

Inhabitants
Most of the beings and entities listed below here are natives of the planet.

Heroes

Gods

The Omniscience dwells deep within a space in the center of the world, where it can be accessed through the deep caves of Emauracus.

Maelrawn is said to be the one who “cracked the shell of the world” by the Naga Siren. Perhaps his tentacles bore through the earth itself, but who knows?

As the goddess of the woods, Verodicia is the mother of everything that lives and grows on this massive fertile rock by feasting on the Sun's warm light.

Description
Locked away in the confines of the titular vault, the continuum device is capable of manipulating time and space to a great degree, whether it's used correctly or not.

Structure
As shown in the picture hereinabove, the floating Continuum Device consists of two rectangular octagon frames of metal, one of them being larger. The small frame is bound within the bigger frame, both of which twist in their middle without knotting themselves up. These frames twist themselves at different speeds depending on what's happening to it. It may also stop moving. At the middle of the device is an orb with multiple glowing lines on it. Akin to the two frames it's in, the lines move around its surface, depending on what's happening to the device. When the device stops moving, they all converge into one static horizontal line.

Functions and Features
Despite its boundless dimensional power, the Continuum Device is sealed in a mundane packaging. Packed in an ordinary box, the device is tucked in an exclusive and washable nylon drawstring pouch. One would expect such an item of great power to be sealed in an equally powerful box that's ensorcelled with the toughest binding magic, but this device is kept in the same type of packaging that comes with the typical home appliance. According to Aghanim, its packaging states that the device does not immediately destroy the universe, plus it has loads of "fancy promotional language" that is written on it, which says nothing about the fragility of the device.

The continuum device has a myriad of buttons on it, despite them not appearing physically on the device. Aghanim accidentally pushed one of its buttons too hard (possibly its green button ) and summoned alternate versions of himself that diluted his power by subtracting his powers away from him and dividing it amongst the alternate Aghanims. However, he states that he pressed multiple buttons to open up an interdimensional can of Aghanim worms instead of just one button.

Besides being able to bend space and time to give the user the powers to shape infinite realities, and summoning alternate versions of the user from the multiverse should they tamper with the device, it's implied that it allows for interdimensional travel as well. Because of this, Aghanim sought out the continuum device to travel through space and time, possibly to eke out some power from the astral multiverse.

Instructional Owner's Manual
For such a significant item of infinite dimensional power, the Continuum Device is surprisingly mundane and anachronistic due to the instruction manual that comes with it, akin to a modern home appliance. It is still grounded in the fantasy world of Dota 2, because the manual is written in ancient runes. Besides ancient runish, the owner's manual comes in other languages for convenience, such as...French.

The owner's manual contains a description of the Continuum Device's applications. It also has helpful instructions on using the device: how to turn on the Continuum Device, how to alter space-time properly, how to not fill the device's residing reality with "inferior versions of yourself from backwater dimensions", etc. Also, the instructions forewarn a certain ancient evil, which Aghanim dismisses as legalese for some reason. The runes of the manual's small print warn that there may be a chance that its user will have to confront this primal evil. Besides instructions, it also has warnings on using the device, including the sentence "What have been wrought, once wrought, cannot be unwrought."

The manual's troubleshooting section contains a guide on rebooting the Continuum Device. Aghanim claims that once it has been rebooted, it causes reality to start and restart as well as greatly age the inhabitants of the device's home reality.

Continuum Forces
During his old warmongering days as Ares, Mars fought the forces of the Continuum in a centuries-long campaign, which he toppled alongside Dawnbreaker. It's possible that the Continuum's forces were the ones who protected the Continuum Device, which is why Mars and Valora fought through them to destroy that device.

Customer Service
Further adding to the anachronism of the Continuum Device is its tech support.

The nature of magic
It's possible magic is an irrational power system, since it is opposed to science which harnesses nature's powers through rational methodologies. Magic is implied to be unnatural or a supernatural power, as it seems to be opposed to that which happens naturally. It's also said to be uncertain and thus dangerous to wield with its unpredictable results. Spellcasting in its early days was purely mental and mnemonic

The flux of magical energies can be affected by distortions in the fabric of the planes, akin to intense gravity wells influencing the motion of light particles.

Fundamentals and ingredients
There are many elements and ingredients involved in the process of magic.

According to Pugna, the source of all sorceries is the Nether Reaches. The void is one of the several vital ingredients of magic, for it is responsible for the existence of arcanery.

But the key to altering the very foundations of magic lies in solving the Puzzle of Perplex. By doing so, they can change the boundaries of sorcery and reshape the world of magic.

To cast spells, a magical resource must be expended: mana. Mana is a finite but replenishable spiritual energy that has its reservoir deep in the caster's soul.

Sound is implied to be an important ingredient in magic. In Dota 2 lore, it's recurrent that a spellcaster may be prevented from using their spells by disabling their ability to speak, one way or another. Thus, speech is required for incantations, and incantations are need for casting magic, therefore sound is vital for sorcery.

Good memory and intelligence are crucial for spellcasting. Spells are fleeting to those with poor memory and can be too hard to grasp, but good memory and wits ensures that a spell will be remembered and readily available.

stuff of magic
When spells are cast, there are arcane bindings that pass betwixt the caster and their foe. The caster can exploit them using items that are tuned to sipping from said bindings to heal themselves. Basically, this is spell lifesteal in Dota 2's lore.

spell cooldowns exist, can be reduced via time manipulation

In Dota: Dragon's Blood
Magic still exists in the animated series of Dota: Dragon's Blood, albeit it does not share the same depth that the original game's lore has with sorcery.

Since half of the Eldwurms are the four elements themselves, they seem to be the source of elemental magic now, such as the Invoker's, , and orbs. This is because his Quas orb appears to be composed of water and thus it emanates sounds of water now, despite the original orb allowing for manipulation of ice elements. Quas seems to be the orb of water now, because the element of ice is included in the element of water, which is why water dragons can breathe ice.

As such, the Invoker has the most instances of magic in the series. He has many spells and many magical apparatuses, but most of them have no background to them. This section is too small for Invoker's vast arcane repertoire, but all of his powers can be seen here. His daughter Filomena also inherits her father's magic, from his orbs to spells. A list of her magic can be seen here.

Sven equally dislikes and his steed Armageddon, tired of the further chaos that they bring to this already chaotic world.

He also dislikes and his notions of righteousness. He mocks his unshakable faith by telling him to feel the same faith he has for his beliefs when he damns him.

Allies
Both and Sven recognize the synergy between them in battle, the former thinking that Sven will enjoy working with him. When Magnus casts on Sven, the latter will be grateful for his blessing. He will also be impressed with its might, somewhat regretting that the Vigil Knights didn't include it in their training. It seems that Magnus knows and respects Sven quite well as he believes that the true Rogue Knight is not easy to put down.
