The smallest but most widely inhabited continent of Korthos- often labelled as the "cradle of civilization" by those who aren't elves or dragons. Victim to much of the Shadow Cataclysm's devastation, the north-western lands in Aborea are often dangerous or barren from those events. The 'sovereign nations' of Aborea are generally referred to as Aerie, Califier, Celadine, Fajar', Godless Munavri, Hejara, Isixa, Karine, Khurla, The Lacquer Coast, Ranga Holds, Republic of the Armadas, Sylk Isle, Tannica, Tornbrid, Whitenorth, and Wösten. In addition, a large swathe of Aborea is either the wasteland of the Overcast Barrowlands or the forests of the The Borealis Reach, both of which are inhabited but neither urban or settled by any one 'government'.
