Southlands
The Southlands are the largest of the four continent in Borgalor, located in the southernmost part of the world. Goblins, Orcs and Trolls all originate there, though only the latter survived there after the the continent of Örkraz split from the Southlands and the climate there cooled as the Southlands drifted closer to the south pole.
The continent and its inhabitants remained isolated from the rest of Borgalor until explorers from Jælondis and later Örkraz visited the Southlands and later settled along the coastline centuries ago, after which much of the land's history has been marked by often complex interactions between the native trolls and the settlers on one hand, and between the different colonies (and later countries) on the other.
Nowadays, the two groups are on friendly terms for the most part, though recent technological advances and influx of people from Jælondis during and following the horrible Fell Wars over the recent decades have led to an increased demand for arable land, magic crystals and other resources, which might strain this relationship in the near future.
Notable southlandic countries include Fjún, Hmarg, Kröþa, Númra, New Þamta and Tos Q'eillen.

Geography
Most of the southlandic interior is quite inhospitable for anyone but trolls and the hardiest of lifeforms, and permanent settlements are only found in certain subantarctic coastal regions, particularly Rúþría and the Þöton Peninsula. The main mountain range is the Larsis Mountains, which stretch from the area around the south pole to the inner Þöton Peninsula and parts of Rúþría, and major rivers include the Hikælúrt, Iliþví, Póap and Tarnúra.
Fauna & Flora
Most of the wildlife on the continent is concentrated along the coast, which includes marine mammals, various species of pigeons, birds of prey and seabirds, invertebrates of all sorts, kelp, cottonsedge and strange tree-like plants similar to our world's scale trees. The lattermost ones are primarily found in the Kvaral Marsh on Þöton Peninsula.
Aside from endemic flora and fauna, a number of species have been introduced to the Southlands from around the world as well, mostly crops and livestock, pets, and decorative trees, shrubs and flowers.Amphitheres

Natural Resources
Good arable and pasturable land can be found in certain regions along the coast and plenty of different ores, magic crystals and other minerals are found throughout the Southlands, though most of the latter are located within troll territory.
