Thargorum



One of the two large continents of the Eastern Hemisphere, this continent takes up most of the northwest section of the Eastern Hemisphere. It has cultures reminiscent of real world Middle Eastern countries (Falmarian) in the southeast region around the Falmar Desert and a culture similar to the Western World in our world, located in the northwest around Almonte. It contains most of the Arcane Dwarves, Moon Elves, Shadow Elves, Fey Halflings, and a large population of Gold Halflings. It is home to the Mystic Directorate as well as some of the most powerful and influential spellcasters and arcane universities which came to power during the Era of Magic.
