Anendior

Anendior (pronounced- Ah-nen-dee-or) was the largest and most populated continent on Ayvindor.

Geography
The continent was located north of Ayvindor's equator, and contained wildly varied weather. Landscapes ranged from frozen tundra in the far north, to scorching deserts in the south, and most other types of terrain and climate in between.

Far North
More commonly known as 'the wastes', the far north of of Anendior was made up of frozen ice fields, snow, and bleak tundra. The northern border of Anendior was marked by the Worlds' Edge mountain. The Forsaken peoples eventually settled in the region, and the region was eventually known as the Forsaken Wastes. Very few peoples besides the Forsaken could survive in the area.

The Worlds' Edge mountain range made up the northmost end of the wastes, and Anendior itself. It was so named because only a few of the people who wandered into those mountains ever came back. In reality, past the mountains was the sea, as far as the eye could see. Few sailors braved those waters for fear of sea monsters or icebergs. Very little was known or mapped beyond the mountains.

The Central Wastes

The central wastes was home to Gottheim basin, a depression several kilometres in diameter and surrounded by mountains. The central wastes were home to a dense population of Forsaken, several cities, and numerous monsters.

The Eastern Wastes

The eastern wastes were by far the most populated of the wasteland, generally attributed to the sea of ice, dominated the south eastern part of the land. Many docks and fishing villages were situated near the coast and on the shore of the frozen sea. This is also where the Forsaken dock the majority of their raiding vessels during the winter months. Further north along the coast was Jorgundur bay, a vast stretch of shore primarily settled for fishing and whaling.

The active volcano, Malcronor, was surrounded several cities, and not far from its' base, was the great bastion known as Marglomars' Keep. The Forsaken frequently make pilgrimages to the volcano, as it is said that was where the first of the Forsaken was shown enlightenment by the Quintex. The god-speakers have a great chapel, the largest, outside of the Gottheim basin, and perform sacrificial rituals at the very peak of the volcano.

The North
South of the Forsaken wastes, the central north region of Anendior, it was populated by a mix of elves, humans, and some dwarves. Aidal was the largest country in the area, and was almost constantly at war with the Forsaken.
