The Forbidden Isles
The central part of our setting, and often regarded as the centre of the known world (though those of Porpuda argue the same thing), the Forbidden Isles could honestly be described more as a subcontinent than as a mere chain of islands. Tzunar alone is large enough to rival a decent sized empire, and indeed it did home such a thing in the days of Olm. The other island of Vork is much less densely populated historically due to the forests and terrain, but still has a rich history to it. The other smaller islands of the Forbidden Isles are home to anything from fortresses to city-states to enormous Griffin nesting grounds. A few islands are not owned by any organised nation state and left to either tribes or the wild.
Geography
The largest known island chain, the Isles from the ruined jungles of Myuun in the north, to the Icelandic conditions of Xiphos to the south, contain a wide variety of terrains, climates and animals, and as a result, the people’s living there are just as varied, with dozens of languages, ethnicities and cultures to consider even within each nation. Notable environments include the Sandstone desert of north-west Tzunar, the steep Devorian Moubtains separating the Dominion from Vulgar, the Vulgar redwoods, the ruined forests of Vork, and the stony windswept coasts of Vunk and the Duom Peninsula.
