Syndaras
The continent of Syndaras is the largest of the three great known continents. This vast land is a tapestry of diverse climates: starting in the frigid and unforgiving north with Yortun, a realm of icy perils that only the strongest and most resilient can endure, much like the neighboring continent Arhnos. The central regions boast temperate climates, teeming with both wondrous and deadly flora and fauna, while the southern expanse is marked by striking contrasts. To the west lies the Akira desert, the central part is home to the expansive Blightwater Bay, one of the
Syndaras also holds the distinction of being home to the world's tallest peak, Ironhorn Mountains, located south relative to Yortun. Its crowning summit, Mount Graulur, reaches an awe-inspiring height of 10,768 meters. To date, no one is known to have conquered this mighty mountain, leaving its mysteries to the calculations and wisdom of the learned scholars of the Archana Academy of Syndar, a bastion of knowledge and magic.
It is often said that Syndaras is ruled by Thalarian - Human, though this claim is not entirely accurate. Humans are indeed the most populous race across the continent, yet the lands tell a different story. The entire western region belongs to the Elves, while the vast frozen north beyond the Everfrost is dominated by Ice Trolls. The immense jungles and rainforests, such as Sulkazar, Vorgar, and the Jungle of Torgat, are realms rulled by untamed beasts, undiscovered plant life, and dangerous forest spirits, as well as smaller races like Goblins and their more imposing kin. The endless grassy plains are the domain of wild nomadic tribes of Wild Thalarians, while the rocky highlands and mountainous regions are inhabited by mysterious peoples, whose existence remains largely unknown due to the perilous terrain that few dare to traverse.
We must not forget the Dragons. Although Syndaras is not home to as many of these majestic creatures as, for example, Eladria, the sheer size of the continent ensures that there are countless dragons spread across its vast expanse. However, their populations are more scattered, which makes encounters with them far less common.
Syndaras is a land of untold diversity, wonder, and danger, a world where the known and unknown coexist in constant tension and discovery.
