Ayelaend

Ayelaend is a fictional continent said to be beyond the setting sun according to northern folklore. Among its many kingdoms are the Lands of Goh and Cockaine as well as many other fictional countries. Several important seafarers of the early to mid ancient era attempted to reach it, without success.
== Description ==
Ayelaend is a continent said to be the size of the North and roughly egg shaped, with the point facing south. On its southern tip is Goh, the land of want where nothing grows and men toil to death under the blazing sun. Above it is Cockaine, the land of plenty where nothing is wanted and the weather is mild. Above Cockaine and to the west is Heptu, the kingdom of the warrior maidens. To the east of Heptu is the Land of Kird said to be inhabited by cynocephalics. Many other lands are said to exist in this middle section of the continent but on its northern most section is the kingdom of Hyperion said to be the dwelling place of the mighty of Fayos. Here, among mountain peaks are hidden castles full of scholars and knights of the highest order, ruled by the greatest kings of the ages.
== Legacy ==
Ayelaend was first mentioned on maps in the 9th century AE, to the far west past Caldos. Later, maps of Ayelaend would be made in texts that contained stories about some of its supposed lands, like Goh or Kird. Originally, these lands were not attributed to being within Ayelaend but overtime they have become known as part of the continent. Many famous navigators and seafarers of the Ancient Era tried to find Ayelaend convinced of its existence but not returned. Lady Helena Wilem II of Fleur was attempting to find Ayelaend when she sailed west out of Carcosa in 109 ME only to disappear. Ayelaend is said to be allegorical to the continent of Fayos with Goh being Kudd, Cockaine being Arimania, Heptu being Fleur, Kird being Korevna, and Hyperion being Skjol.
