Continents of Jhordunne

Aerdyn

Sai Torgoth

Western Sai Torgoth was settled by the Aôlerian during their second migration. In Aôleric, it means “new homeland”.

Af’kir

Rarely referred to by its formal name, Af’kir is more commonly known as The Land of the Ancients. This long, narrow, curved continent was home to some of the oldest civilizations on Jhordunne: the reptilian Ch’kari in Ankre Ssaln, the Aôlerian in Toriath, and the Chthonic Empire in what is now called Chthonia. Finally, there is Maelgrimme, filled with fearsome beasts and said to be home to the last of the Dragons.

Toriath

With its fertile valleys, dense forests, and stunning mountains, Toriath is a beauty to behold and was once the home of the Aelferii (then called the Aôlerian). In Aôleric, Toriath means the “land of the cradle”. The Aôlerian settled there after they left Ankre Ssaln and the Nashalan jungles. It was there they fell under the spell of the Fey. After their rebellion, the Aôlerian migrated to what is now Sai Torgoth. Those who remained behind are now called the Dhollurien or “Those Bound to the Old Ones”.

Ankre Ssaln

Ankre SSaln is a land of mountains, valleys, rivers, and swamps, with lush jungles that once covered much of Jhordunne. Ancestral home of the Ch’kari. Once a great empire that spanned the globe for millions of years, the Ch’kari now hide in their crumbling cities, within the impenetrable jungles. They have spent eons in a torpor, awaiting the return of their gods, the the giant, lizard-like Sauranids.

Chthonia

The center of the once-massive Chthonic Empire, Chthonia now lies in ruins. Dark magics destroyed the empire and changed the face of Jhordunne. Chthonia was once covered in majestic forests. After the destruction of the empire, plains and steppes have taken their place. Grand rivers that once flowed freely are choked and shrunken. Small kingdoms now squabble over what remains of the empire, each claiming to be its rightful heir – even nearly two millennia after its fall.

Maelgrimme

Maelgrimme is a dangerous and foreboding place. Filled with deadly plants and beasts, the land is no place for the weak. It is said that the last of the Dragons reside in mountains at the center of Maelgrimme, although no one living can confirm this.

Norfell and Kh’druin

Norfell

Although Norfell and Kh’druin are part of the same continent, they are generally regarded as two separate islands. Norfell is rugged tundra and snow and ice-covered plains. Norfell is home to two large tribes of humans – the Kendarii and the Isar – both violent and warlike people. Corruption from eastern Azerion has seeped into the very stones of Norfell and the population of the island long ago turned to dark gods. Although the two tribes often clash with each other, more often the Kendarii are raiding the northeast coast of Azerion, while the Isar turn their eyes towards the lost riches of Kh’druin

Kh’druin

Kh’druin is the ancestral home of both the Zwergen and the Ogres. The western half of the island is plains and the western is mountainous, with the highest peaks on Jhordunne. Largely abandoned after the fall of Eastern Aerdyn to Corruption, only the fortress-city of Gh’keran still stands against the tide of fell beasts that swarmed over the land. The plains of the Ogres and the mountain halls of the Dwarves are now the abode of the Corrupted. The Ogres settled in the misty lands of southeast Aerdyn, founding Quanshai. The Dwarves also fled west and spread across Aerdyn, again building their great cities in the mountain ranges.
