Solamnia
Solamnia is a human nation in northwestern Ansalon. Solamnia has just about every geographical feature imaginable: fertile plains, three mountain ranges (the Vingaard Mountains, Dargaard Mountains and the Garnet Mountains), Ansalon’s longest river, the Vingaard, and the Northern Wastes. Not a perfectly flat land, it has ridges, gullies, dry creek beds, small stands of trees, mostly a grassy steppe land. People from Solamnia are referred to as being Solamnic (or Solamnian), and they speak Solamnic, while some of the Knights speak Old Solamnic.
The provinces that make up Solamnia are Coastlund in the west, Palanthas east of that, and Hinterlund on the border with Nightlund. The Plains of Solamnia are also on the border with Nightlund, Elkholm and Heartlund lie south of the Plains of Solamnia, and Southlund is southwest of Heartlund. In Southlund is the city of Caergoth, and is an area known for very violent thunderstorms. From Coastlund in the west, to Hinterlund in the east, a variety of people live and work—mostly humans, but small bands of ogres and draconians are far too common. Originally located in the center of the Ansalonian continent, Solamnia is now very much a sea-going state, since the Cataclysm dumped three oceans around its borders.
