The NorthThelinis holds the four courts of the eladrin. It's terrain consists of airy and beautiful forests, dark twisted copses, and hills and vales that make up a vast moorland. The north of Thelinis is dominated by the forest communities that make up the Four Courts of the eladrin people. It's south is populated sparsely my rural civilians of the Empire. Between these regions a wonderful ever changing woodland that cyclicals merges and swims between the Feywild and the material world. Where Thelinis' borders touch northern Gondal a reach of land known as the Dreadhold is frequently coterminous with the Shadowfell.
Gondal was the last to join the Empire, and even to this day they are the most insular and defended. Dragonborn clans claim that they were the first to settle this land centuries ago, though this is disputed by the elves that also make it their home. The rocky highlands mirror the disposition of the folk here, but due to the relative safety lent by the arms of the Titanshield the alpine meadows of the west are also an apt metaphor for these people.
Magrak is not written on many surface maps, how could it be. This piece of the Empire is primarily vertical though in places it stretches beneath Andrynn and Gondal. It is a subterranean kingdom, where dark caverns and chasms stand beside the holds of the dwarven lords. At it's deepest Magrak reaches into the Underdark and near it's pinnacle it may stand just beneath the peaks of the Titanshield.
Andrynn is an land defined by agriculture and civilization. It is the largest region of the empire, the most temperate and the most typical. It's soft hills, woodlands, savannas make this place ideal for peaceful settlement. But it has not always been so, two hundred years ago in the war whose wake led to the forming of the Empire, the Drynar tribe of humans fought with the Iorlosi people.
Iorlos is a pleasant place and is often known as the Land Twixt Two Lakes. To the east Lake Starwine's black waters push through the Titanshiled itself. But the center of Iorlos in more ways than one lies Lake Ior. It's rich waters figure into the creation myth of the Iorlosi humans who live there. It is there mother, their source of sustenance and industry and the center of their kingdom. More than two centuries ago tiefling refuggess from the ruins of the Bal'nathrax Empire fled to this land and settled there with the blessings of the Iorlosi. Now those two races occupy the land together.
Wandermarch is a highly wet land. Rainforests flourish in the northeast where they are still protected by druids from the Empire's industry as does a populous multiracial delta. The western border is defined by the Sound of Flowers, whose oceanic waters are covered with saltlillies. It's interior is lined with a network rivers and streams and on each of them halfing barges.
Myr. The pinnacle of an empire. The brightest candle. It is at the conjunction of myriad cultures and geographies. It is the melting pot, the center, and the ideal of the Empire. There are several urban centers scattered throughout Myr and it's bazaar-city of Navoreen is foremost amongst them.[/quote]
