The Flanaess

The Flanaess is the eastern part of the continent of Oerik, one of the four continents of Oerth.

Geography

The Flanaess can be divided into nine broadly defined geopolitical territories, most of which coincide with old national identities that once dominated those regions. The exception here is the southern region of isolated lands, some of which are not part of the Flanaess proper.   Baklunish West (former Baklunish Empire) Survivors of the Invoked Devastation settled these temperate prairies, forests, and coastal lands about one thousand years ago. Largely seperated from the rest of the Flanaess by the great Yatils, Barrier Peaks and Crystalmist Mountians, these realms are a stronghold of Baklunish culture.   Bitter North ("Old Blackmoor") The islands north of the Yatil Mountains, from the Dramidj coast to the Dulsi River, make up the Bitter North. The climate in this region of steppes and coniferous forests varies from cool to frigid, making this a sparesely settled area home mostyl to nomads, orcs, and goblins, except in Perrenland.   Western Nyr Dyv ("Old Ferrond") The lands from the Nyr Dyv to the Yatils are an old stronghold of Good in the Flanaess. Humans of Oeridian and Flan descent, dwarves and elves contribute to the vigor of these nations. The rich soil and the pleasant climate. combined with healthy trade relations with their neighbours to the east, south and west, make this a strong and wealthy region.   Sheldomar Vallay ("Old Keoland") The fertile Sheldomar Valley is almost completely enclosed by mountains until it reaches the Azure Sea. Two great rivers, the Javan and the eponymous Sheldomar, water these lands between the Crystalmists and the Lortmils. The climate here is warm and mild, and many elves, dwarves, gnomes and halflings live in peace alongside Suel, Oeridian and Flan farmers and lords.   Empire of Iuz ("Northern Reaches") Thillonrian Peninsula ("Barbarian North") Old Aerdy West ("Old Nyrond") Old Aerdy East (former Great Kingdom) Isolated Realms
