Southern Ergoth
Southern Ergoth is an island located west of Ansalon and south of Northern Ergoth, created when the Cataclysm tore Ergoth in two. Southern Ergoth stretches about 250 miles from north to south. The major geographical features of Southern Ergoth are the Sirrion Sea that surrounds the island; the Straits of Algoni that separate it from Ansalon; Morgash Lake, which is just north of the ogre city of Daltigoth; the Last Gaard Mountains, which run down its center, in which Foghaven Vale is located; Harkun Bay on the southern coastline; the Plains of Tothen, located in the southwestern coastline; the Plains of Kri, on the southern coastline; and the River Ergot, located in the northeast. Most of the central and eastern half of Southern Ergoth is now a frozen wasteland.
During the War of the Lance, the elves of Qualinesti and Silvanesti moved their people to Southern Ergoth to escape from the invading dragonarmies. They enslaved the Kagonesti, forcing them to build their cities while in exile. The dragonarmies invaded Southern Ergoth and gained control over much of the island during the war.
