Eastern Continent
The Eastern Continent is one of the two major landmasses of Chaia, located entirely within the planet's northern hemisphere. It is a diverse and expansive continent, home to a variety of nations, geographical features, and climates.
The continent is home to enormous nations like Vessoianland, which stretches to the Northern Ocean and contains mountain ranges such as the Carmeso and Metudo Mountains, major rivers like the Labostpu, and significant lakes such as Calatta Lake. Vessoianland's climate is predominantly very cold and dry, leading to large expanses of taiga and grassland. Another very large nation, Staianland, also borders the Northern Ocean and the Eastern Ocean, featuring the Peubhre Heights and Lubhu Mountains, Srestu Lake, and a very cold, moderately dry climate with significant taiga, rainforest, and even glaciers.
Other notable nations on the Eastern Continent include:
Betbenland: A vast nation with extensive coastlines on the Qingfen Sea, Meridian Ocean, and Northern Ocean. It includes the large island of Bretburia and Athing Lake, experiencing a generally cool and wet climate with large temperate rainforests and taiga.
Blinfenland: A small, landlocked enclave entirely surrounded by Puianland, characterized by a grassland biome and a climate with moderate temperatures and low precipitation.
Fuldoianland: Possesses a western coastline on the Qingfen Sea and has a relatively cool and dry climate supporting vast grasslands.
Gaoianland: A small coastal enclave bordered by Fuldoianland and the Qingfen Sea, with a cool, dry climate and biomes of grassland and temperate deciduous forest.
Kinbanland: A significant nation with coastlines on the Great Ocean and Eastern Ocean, featuring major rivers like the Moko and Aimo, Rizumizuji Lake, and a temperate, wet climate dominated by temperate rainforests and wetlands.
Mshibulianland: A centrally located nation with a southern coastline on the Great Ocean, featuring the Metudo Mountains and a cool, moderately dry climate with predominantly temperate deciduous forests.
Mutkatkuntiland: Occupies a peninsula on the eastern coast, bordered by Staianland and the Eastern Ocean. It has a cool, wet climate supporting wetlands and temperate rainforests.
Puianland: A large nation with coastlines on the Qingfen Sea and Great Ocean, surrounding the enclave of Blinfenland. It enjoys a temperate, moderately wet climate with extensive temperate deciduous and rainforests.
Sasaianland: A landlocked nation with a cool, dry climate and predominantly temperate deciduous forest, where the Aimo River originates.
Tastiland: An island nation in the Meridian Ocean with a cool, very wet climate, entirely covered by temperate rainforest.
Tmidaianland: Forms a peninsula with coastlines on the Qingfen Sea and Great Ocean, experiencing a warm and very wet climate with temperate rainforests and wetlands.
Geography and Climate
The Eastern Continent exhibits a wide range of geographical characteristics. It features vast landlocked nations such as Atvogianland, which is characterized by highlands like the Lekto Mountains and a cold, arid climate with extensive grasslands, taiga, and tundra. In contrast, nations like Belkenland possess coastlines on the Great Ocean, with a temperate and moderately wet climate supporting deciduous and temperate rainforests.The continent is home to enormous nations like Vessoianland, which stretches to the Northern Ocean and contains mountain ranges such as the Carmeso and Metudo Mountains, major rivers like the Labostpu, and significant lakes such as Calatta Lake.

Peoples and Cultures
The Eastern Continent is home to a diverse array of cultures, many of which are shaped by their environment. Nomadic cultures are found in nations like Atvogianland (Atvogian), Blinfenland (Blinfen), Fuldoianland (Fuldoian), and Vessoianland (Vessoian). River cultures have developed in Belkenland (Belken), Kinbanland (Kinban), and Sasaianland (Sasaian). Hunting cultures are present in Betbenland (Betben). The extensive coastlines of Staianland have given rise to a Naval culture. Other cultures include the Gaoian of Gaoianland, Mshibulian of Mshibulianland, Mutkatkunti of Mutkatkuntiland, Puian of Puianland, Tasti of Tastiland, and Tmidian of Tmidaianland.General Characteristics
The Eastern Continent is clearly a land of contrasts, from the frozen expanses of Vessoianland and Staianland in the north to the warmer, wetter climes of nations like Tmidaianland further south. It features significant mountain ranges, extensive river systems, and large lakes. Its nations vary dramatically in size, from vast empires to small enclaves and island states. The presence of the Great Ocean, Northern Ocean, Eastern Ocean, Qingfen Sea, and Meridian Ocean along its coasts indicates significant maritime activity and influence.
