Myrthul Geographic Location in Zantin | World Anvil

Myrthul

The south-western continent in the eastern hemisphere, Myrthul has a rich and unique history. As the original home of the giants, and the main battlefield for the Dragon-Giant War, the land has been formed by their very footsteps.

Geography

Myrthul is split geographically into three regions; northern, central, and southern.  

Northern

Northern Myrthul is mostly a vast and hot desert that leads into Saloria via a land-bridge, except along the Miadtrus Sea, whos winds provide slightly milder temperatures. Rainfall is sparse and quick, and only seen during fall or winter. Towards the south of the region is a large plateau named the Mirror Wastes, that extends into Central Myrthul which transitions to rolling dunes to the north-east.  

Central

Present in the region are the Ma'ark Mountains and Tempest Valley which seperates Central Myrthul into three smaller regions; the west which is a temperate rainforest, the valley which is a basin with moderate rainfall, and the east which is largely a dry, rocky coast extending north into the Mirror Wastes.

Southern

Southern Myrthul rests in a polar climate, receiving mild summers and frigid winters. The terrain flows from high in the Azrok Mountains in the east to low plateaus in the west. The majority of precipitation the region receives falls over the woodlands occupying the land between the west coast and the Azroks.  

Countries

 

Dalure Kingdom

  While it is the largest country by territory, reaching from the southern edge of the Mirror Wastes the northern tip of the Azrok Mountains, most of its population is concentrated within the confines of Tempest Valley.  

Kingdom of Halholm

  Also known as the Winter Kingdom due to its location in the far south and the extremely cold weather it harbors, Halholm is the youngest country on Myrthul.  

Kingdom of Morathin

  A kingdom of mostly dwarves located on a large island just west of the southern tip of Myrthul, it once held territory on the mainland as far as the Azroks.  

North Myrthul Federalis

  A union of city states within the deserts of Northern Myrthul, the Federalis acts mostly as a police force for established trade routes. The cities within the union are Aknara, Adenim, and Folksend as well as some smaller towns and villages.
