Volkyr is a continent characterized by the massive, active volcano at the center of the landmass. It contains six broad regions: the Fountain Dominion, the Kingdom of Rema, the Westlands, the Lightpoint Lands, the Tribal Lands, and the Barren Lands. The volcano itself, and the lava river valley that extends from it to the Northeast, can be considered a region unto itself.
While the mortal races have managed to spread across the entirety of the continent, the most populated regions far and away are found in the South. The aptly named Barren Lands to the north is the least populated region.
Volkyr is just one of many continents in the known, mortal plane of existence. Other continents, themselves defined by great geographical, natural, or in some cases supernatural wonders. These continents exist on a material plane called the Animus Mortalis; other such Animus planes exist, but little is known and even less understood about them.
