Evoria
The hot and arid Highlands sprawl north to forbidden desert. The west stumbles up sandy ridges in the Wasterlies, and the dune hills slope down to the flat wasteplains to the north. East of there the land receives nourishment from the active Lake Tambux below the High Escarpment, feeding the Elysia . Reluctantly humid it can be when rains come in spring and summer. East further the rocky Gologian Range rise, protecting Kormice from bitter chills beyond in the Cursed Badlands. Below the High Escarpment here is Corridor, squeezed between the High and Low Escarpment, though good for pastures and fields. West lie the most fertile basin in Enor Daeg, Tambuxia holds renown for the green grass and humid summers, perfect for its Breadbasket dales for growing crop. The mysterious and foreboding Nilesian Court crouches in the shadow of the desert above and the lush forests of Rerya. South of here lies Reryit, a heavily-forested place without much else. This rises gently to Lochesian Court at the foothills of the Manduskian Range. East and north is the blasted and barren East Heath, destroyed in the Clannish Wars long ago. East, down the Low Escarpment lies the Weirland, home to halflings, whose many-headed waters flow tirelessly and succulently down many streams and banks.
Evoria is the human kingdom, dominating the Central East of Enor Daeg, the western continent in Daeg. It is south of the Deadlands and north of Lochish. The Riverlands are southeast of it, the Weirland, being a contentious zone for both kingdoms although formally belonging to Evoria, is south of Evoria, east of Lochish. Wild Rerya lies to the west, its forests and hills providing a natural boundary.
Humans first arrived in Evoria after the Dawn Wars, guided by their human gods. These deities looked after them and showed them the right ways, blessing them with fertility. Quickly the humans multiplied, gaining notice of the other species who had all at some point enslaved or looked down upon them. With humans now swelling in numbers, the other species quickly devised some way to protect themselves against the horde. It was thought by the wise elf Thanuing to simply acknowledge and respect their place in Daeg. The humans would have their land to call their own and war over while the rest of the world tried to forget about them.
This splintering of humans is reflected in their environment. Hot and dry, wet and fertile, cold and rocky, forested and hilly, swampy and dismal, almost every type of environment can be found in here. The people and tribes of the area are as diverse as the land. In the nascence of the country, tribal conflicts abounded. A king came and united the tribes into one country. It is from this line that Manaron was birthed.
Evoria is on good terms with all surrounding countries. Royalty in each country respects the dedication and progress humans have made, especially the iron-fisted rule of Manaron and his predecessors. The peoples of the other countries tend to look down on short-lived humans but look at their accomplishments as novel.

Territories & Regions
Evoria is in between several prominent climates on the continent. The lush, fair forests of Rerya to its west, the dry, hot Deadlands to the north, the muggy, sick swamps and dry mountains northeast past the Gologian Range, the humid and warm Riverlands to the southeast, and the Manduskians block some of the temperate humid Lochish to the south. This convergence gives Evoria its cousin regions. These climates do not clash as harsh as elsewhere in the world, but are seen as extensions. Indeed places such as Reryit are so called for its incredible similarities to Rerya. All populations given are of the region and are approximates.Wasterlies
The northwestern boundary of Evoria is surprisingly not the least populated even though it is in the Deadlands. The southern sandy dunes and craggy northern plains are not conducive to a populated place, but the majority of people survive in the capital, Oasis.Read the full article here! Demographics
