The West

The West is the aptly named western continent of Iopia. Massive in scale and varied in climate, it ranges from the temperate forests and marshes in the south to the harsh, arctic climes of the mountains and tundra in the north. The West is bounded by The Frozen Ocean to the north, The Iopian Strait to the east, The Southern Sea to the south, and The Placid Ocean to the west.

Regions

 * Falconsflight Cape - The huge, rocky, southeasternmost portion of the continental west.
 * The Golden Coast - Here humans and half-elves tend sprawling farms and sandy beaches.
 * Westwood - Centred around slumbering Mt. Renegal, this is Iopia's largest unbroken woodland.
 * Thisildur - On the western edge of Westwood lies the denser and less explored home of Iopia's remaining wood elves.
 * The Tepid Marsh - Sinister creatures abound in the southernmost part of the continental West.
 * The Russet Isles - Scattered near The West's coast in The Southern Sea, these islands are run by slavers and frequented by pirates.
 * Uuvorimaluu - Home of the high elves, the "Occasional Peninsula" is connected to the mainland by the Drybridge.
 * Drybog - Mud flats which lie west of Westwood
 * Woodsoul - One of The West's largest regions, mineral-rich Woodsoul meets The Placid Ocean and is home to a diverse group of peoples, gathered to mine its riches.
 * Hansland - Frozen mountaintops stretch northwards and skywards.
 * The Deepest Hills - North of Hansland, these older, lower mountains are every bit as cold, and riddled with tunnels and caves which serve as home to all manner of subterranean dwellers.
 * The Rugged Mountains - Northern tip of The West, Iopia's youngest and most inhospitable mountain range. Home to orcs, barbarians and dragons, among others.
 * North Sea - Surrounded on nearly every side by tall mountain peaks, the North Sea serves as harbour to the fleets of The Chromatic Tribunal's humanoid allies.
 * The Royal Islands - Islands that sprung from The Placid Ocean when Malystryx arrived. Location of Mt. Malystryx, iopia's most active volcano.
