Baelthir
The ancestral landmass where all Baelthir humans can trace their origin to, lies in the center of the geographical north of the veins surface. It had a long bloody history with great cultural revolutions and declines.
Two of the most tragic events in human history, the yüldrethi blood rituals and the detonation of the spell bombs, have occurred on this landmass. Both these events where so significant that they're used as the transitions between ages on most human calendars.
Today much of the landmass is still impacted by the detonated plague bombs. While some new thriving civilizations have emerged, most older ones have fallen into heavy decline. The new dominant power is the Barethonian theocracy which rules roughly half of the landmass with an iron fist. The other half is controlled by competing societies: various pagan populations, groups of lichen, lycans and the fallen yüldrethi.

Geography
The landmass is considerably more affected by the ravaged of the plague bombs the further east you go. This is seen in both climate and geography.
Naturally the landmass had a cold temperate climate which remains so in the western parts. Often cloudy and rainy with harsh winter periods. The further east you go the climate becomes increasingly unnatural. Blood and acid storms, strange deadly mists, slow moving lightning strikes and periods seemingly perpetual darkness.
In geography the same shift from west to east holds true. In the western end there are thick wetlands and forested regions, shifting into cold meadows going east. Eventually hitting the dark mountain chains and sinister wastelands of the eastern parts.
