Geography

Continents

Eorland

Main Article: [[{{{1}}}]]

Eorland is the western continent inhabited mostly by Men. Eorland was discovered at the end of the First Age and marked the beginning of the Second Age. Eorland was discovered by Hilfam Eorlsson. He was the leader of the first settlement of the new continent. Eorland has a climate that is colder to the north and warmest at the equator. A mountain ridge divides the continent into three parts. The mountains, and most of the area around them, are covered in a lush deciduous forest. Many of the rivers have created fertile valleys with the largest river having created a deep canyon. Grasslands dominate most of the rest of the rest of the continent and the rolling, grass covered hills are a view that the Eorlanders have come to love.

Nordlond

Main Article: [[{{{1}}}]]

Nordlond is the northern continent and homeland of Elves and Men. In this land the majority of men are enslaved by elves and have been made loyal to their lord after the first group of enslaved men rebelled somewhat successfully. Nordlond has a mountain range that splits the continent in half. A large freshwater lake is found in the west. To the south of the mountain range is fertile land near the rivers with large forests growing between the rivers. North of the mountains is bitter cold with snow covering the ground most of the year and leaving only a short growing seasons. The winters in this land are harsh, but survivable. The rivers there are frozen almost year round and allow fast traveling with sleds. The forests here are plentiful and thick and are an important part of life to the inhabitants of the frozen land.

Novvyland

Main Article: [[{{{1}}}]]

Novvyland is the most recently discovered continent and is made up of the mainland, Novvyland, and a large island called Silisium. The discovery of Novvyland marked the beginning of the Third Age. Novvyland is a land of thick forests and wide rivers. The only way to get through these forests easily is by traveling via the rivers and only recently roads between settlements. It was settled by separatists wishing to escape from the Theocracy of their motherland. The two largest nations were able to successfully rebel, however, there are two nations that have been reclaimed and are now part of the Grand Empire of Halim, the most powerful maritime nation in the world.

Regions

Silisium

Silisium is the home of the Silisi and is an island to the north of mainland Novvyland. Silisium was discovered 100 years ago by explorers from Hilam by an expedition led by Prince Aleksandre of Hilam and because of that the Silisi call refer to all humans as Alisi. Silisium's southern portion is made up of very large freshwater swamp that begins around eighty miles from the coastline. It is unique in the fact that there are many large sinkholes scattered throughout the Great Swamp. The northern section, north of the Great Lake, is mostly a large wetland perfect for growing rice year round. The eastern portion is just wet as the north, but not as settled and has not yet become a large producer of crops.

Southern Isles

The Southern Isles are an archipelago that provides a safe route to travel between Eorland and Novvyland. It is a tropical region that is warm year round and is home to a group of people that provides the fastest ships in the world and some of the best human sailors in the world.

Major Landmarks

The Lange River: The longest river in the world. Carved a deep canyon through half of Eorland.

The Great Swamp: The largest swamp in the world located on Silisium.
