Solara (Continent)

Solara is the large western continent of Tel'marún, as well as the name of the nation that now holds sway over a majority of the continent. The capital city of Solara -- also named Solara -- sits near the center of the continent on its largest body of water, the Lake of the Sun. Stretching to the north of the continent are a variety of scattered mountain ranges, ultimately giving way to a cold northern shore along the Frozen Sea. Eastward lies a beautiful coastline sliding slowly into swampland along the many tributaries of the Sol River. Southward stretches a vast forest, home to the secretive Elven kingdom Telmun'ir, where outsiders are not welcome. The westward portion of Solara is less inhabited and home to expansive grasslands. Before arriving at the west coast of the continent, one runs into the mountain range home to the Dwarven Legions. On the whole, Solara is unified and well-protected near its capital, but what goes on in the woodlands of its outer reaches are the things of adventures and legends.

Maps

Solara
A map of the continent Solara made by famed gnomish explorer Blimpy Jones from his extensive journeys across the continent and beyond. While his bravery is well known, his mapmaking skills are a bit more up in the air. Some in the gnomish scholarly community argue the dimensions of his map are all wrong, while others critique his limited inclusion of landmarks, major cities, or thoroughfares. His, however, is the standard from which most Solaran maps are based. He claims an updated version will make its way to print as part of his new book [I]Kobolds, Treasure, and Beyond: the Blimpy Jones Saga Part 6[/I].
