Geography
Syndaras
The largest and most sprawling of Thalas' continents, Syndaras is a land of extremes. From the blistering sands of the Vasharash Desert embraced by the rugged Ridge of Kallum in the south, to the soaring peaks of the Sulkaz, Drakhar, Ironhorn, and Avalon ranges, Syndaras is a realm of great power and variety. On its western edges, the Vorun Mountains rise like jagged guardians, while the Redrok Mountains glow crimson in the light of the setting sun.Eladria
Eladria, the second-largest continent, is a land defined by its towering mountain ranges and temperate beauty. At its heart lies the imposing Tol'Dalon, a mountain range encircled by lush forests and fertile valleys. To the east, the twin ranges of Rokh'Dar and Kah'Tol dominate the horizon, their peaks sheathed in eternal ice and revered by the ancient tribes who live in their shadows. Eladria is a place of ancient secrets and great legends, where the echoes of lost civilizations whisper across the land. This continent is mostly home of dragons, orcs and untamed monsters that crawl in shadows.Arhnos
The smallest but harshets of the three continents, Arhnos is a land of stark beauty and relentless cold. Dominated by the Kerautuz Mountains and the foreboding Lairs of Dragonbane, Arhnos is a frozen expanse where survival is a testament to resilience. In its far northern reaches, the great Kerautuz Mountains rise in defiance of the icy wastes, serving as the home of the frost dwarves who roam the endless tundra and under it.The Landscapes of Thalas
