Faerun - Forgotten Realms

A major continent on the planet of Toril.   The continent includes terrain that is as varied as any other. Besides the exterior coastline to the west and south, the most dominant feature on the continent was the Sea of Fallen Stars. This is an irregular inland sea that kept the interior lands fertile, connected the west and east regions of Faerun and served a major trade route for many of the bordering nations. Next in significance is the Shaar, a broad region of grasslands in the south that, together with the Lake of Steam, separated the are around the inland sea from the coastal nations at the southern edge of the continent. To the east, Faerun is bordered by a vast region of steppes from Kara-Tur, and in the north were massive glaciers (Pelvuria and Reghed) and tundra. South of the continent, separated by the Great Sea, is the sub-tropical land of Zakhara.
