Sylvhorkis (Syl-vhor-kis)
The Sunken Continent
Sylvhorkis a region within Caelum in the realm sub-continent. Within Caelum, it is a home to the various city-states of the dragon-kind homeland where the organisation of the Skyraider's Flame are united under their flag.
It is found to be a beautiful area, containing wild, rocky cold landscapes filled with hills and plateaus. Along with that it is covered in glacial ice to the south, the landmass sits atop the world and serves as a passage to the damned, the most well-known of which is called the Path of Venari. Traders and explorers frequently brave the harsh cold to reach the other side of the world via this shortest route.
Geography
The Cloud Sea journey to Sylvhorkis is a treacherous one, as it leads one either through the sea monster-infested lands around the sunken depths of the continent, far from the north via a long chain of islands that connects Sylvhorkis and its Dragon isles. Those who have visited describe it as a verdant, mountainous region filled with boundless resources and stunning vistas; parts of the land remain unclaimed by civilisation or are burned down and turned into ash or ruins.
The Accurate map of the continent, it is believed to be Caelum's largest landmass, expanding to the south of the country and cutting off half of the map
Ecosystem
As with most of Sylvhorkis, humans are the primary inhabitants with Dragon-kind coming in as a close second. As a broad generalisation, the native humans of the north and east tend to be higher on the list, whereas those of the west and interior are of Dragonborn and Wyvaran.
An specific band of elves are prolific in Sylvhorkis, those who are wild elves and drow kind that were once sundered from their northern kindred finding respite in other areas. The known Underdark and Darklands are found within this large continent having portals to the various areas through elf gates, however most of these have been disabled due to the calamity that endangered the elves and new threats coming in, from dimensional areas.
Certain dwarves colonised Sylvhorkis after emerging from the Darklands. They come from the plains and mountains from southern deserts abutting the shattered range in southern. It is home to two dwarven cultures and Ifrit cultures that are integrated into society.
Goblins are know to be part of the separate islands that connect to the dragon isles, been more cultured then their wild brothers.
Localized Phenomena
The Area is much more sunken then the rest of the continents been more ingrained into the sea of clouds, unmoving and vast. Even tho it has that land structure, there is a unique trait with the land as its inhabitants are able to been able to control the dragons and make special like bonds between them though the good environment.
Fauna & Flora
Enormous mammals inhabit the continent, some of which have gone extinct elsewhere in Caelum and some of which are utterly unknown. Sylvhorkis's fauna includes many marsupials (mammals who carry their young in pouches) such as the thylacine.
