Eastern Empires

The east's name is a holdover from an era long since passed. The 'empires' that resided here were not true empires: rather they were a number of connected city-states that were ruled seperately, but traded closely with one another and had many interwoven treaties of war and peace, promises to aid or defend. These were the most dramatic of satyrs' and humans' lands. Now, they are ruins, interspersed with rebuilt towns shadowed by their former heights.

Arbor Lowlands

The Arbor Lowlands occupy the northeastern portion of the continent, named in recent history for its satyr populations. There were some satyr cities in these lands pre-cataclysm, but they likewise fell with the Winter that hit them particularly hard for their northern position. However, this is to where many satyr populations returned after the catacylsm, as it occupied part of their ancestral ranges without the fear of the mountain looming over them as visibly. Likewise, with human cities comparitively closeby to their south, satyrs could inhabit the north easier- with help. Still, many of these cities are a mix of humans and satyrs both, as even in returning, satyrs employed many human building methods to reform their towns, as their own architecture was still impractical for the fast rebuild they needed.

The lowlands are boreal forest, and are met on their northern and western sides by the Maitsov Highlands. The highlands bar the way to the Palzhou Peninsula, which is inhabited by a population of satyrs isolated by the cold and distance of their land.

The east coast of the lowlands meets the Sea of Ghosts, an area of high human and satyr ship traffic, mostly ferrying to Griffon's Roost and the Tomb Isles. This is named for dangerous waters- commonly fraught with ice that sinks ships readily. The name is human in origin- satyrs don't believe in ghosts in as simple of terms.

Homonic Floodplains

The Homonic Floodplains are areas of low elevation in the southeast of the continent. This is where many human cities that has historical relations with satyrs lived. They are known for their monsoon seasons, and are typically wetland. Most human cities now are built in the Dragon's Claw Valleys to the southwest, as the wetlands were wounded by the effects of the cataclysm, and being a more vulnerable ecosystem than further south, took longer to recover and be able to reasonably host human activity once more.
