Baen Desert
The huge Baen Desert is the largest desert in central Ithria. It is mostly sand and sun scorched rock. The Baen Desert is home to the race called the baenites. Few others enter Baen. It is also home to the Desert Mage, Morlokk. The history of the Baen Desert is intertwined with that of the Sundering and the
magic of that great era still echos here.
The Iron Hills
The Iron Hills are a vast area of broken hills and badlands that lie between the Shattered Mountains and the nation of Kalimura.
This region is exceptionally rich in mineral deposits. Kalimura has a
strong interest in these valuable resources and operates several large mining operations
throughout the area. These mining operations sometimes come under attack from
raiding warriors of the Rhotha tribe,
the local myrian tribe that claim the Iron Hills. Iron Hills is the domain of the of myrians who jealously guard their
territory.
Mountaintop Isle
The Mountain Top Isle (sometimes called the
Surviving Island) is the only body of land within the
Captured
Sea. Long ago, this was the peak of a mountain which subsequently sank into the waters
when the sea formed from the landquakes of the
World
Storm. The ruins of an Irenni city, now an abandoned port city, still stands on the
southern shore. The island is claimed by
Arkalia.
Shard Wastelands
A vast desolate region of hard rock, coarse gravel and strange mineral growths that grow from the ground like crystalline swords. These razor sharp shards are dangerous during wind storms. No civilized groups claim this region as it is remote from the civilized world and suffers harsh winters.
Smoking Valley
This valley has a floor of hard packed clay which is smooth like fired pottery. The entire valley is filled with huge smoking craters. Each crater is between 3 to 6 meters across with a one meter high lip. The edges are cracked and worn. These craters actually generate and emit smoke. It is a continuous phenomena. Undoubtedly some geological phenomenon bubbling beneath the surface of the soil is the cause but, to date, no one has conducted any studies. The smoking valley is located in the east arm of the
Sentinel Mountains.
The Boulivar Flats
A stagnant wasteland of noxious mists and brackish pools.
The Desolation
A dreadful peninsula filled with the ruins of ancient cities and stalked by
monsters and undead. Once each year this forbidden realm is swept clean by the
Horde, an unstoppable mass of monstrosities
too horrible to imagine. To protect Chaddamar, the peninsula is isolated from the Aggradar mainland by a great wall.
Fyrren's
Wandering
A maze of canyons between Aukaria and Magrakor that formed from centuries of
geological processes. This region is now home to bandit groups that prowl on
unsuspecting caravans. The main road is protected by forts manned by both
nations.
Ahtabi Desert
The largest desert in the world. The deep heart of the Ahtabi is an endless sea of shifting sand dunes. This desert is home to the mysterious
guldra, a mysterious reptilian race, and a number of ancient pre-Sundering
ruins.
The Broadlands
A realm of open grasslands, savannahs and abundant wildlife. Recently conquered by the Padashan Empire.
The Sea of Ash
A great lake of water and ash that surrounds a volcanic island in a geologically active region. Ruled by a great sorcerer.
The Wind Plains
A large prairie with fierce weather and constant winds.
