Araia

Araia, also known as the First Continent, is one of the three primary landmasses of the world, lying to the north of Naen and west of northern Vaishun.
== Regions ==
Araia contains six distinct regions, most generally dominated by mountains and dense forest.
=== Arktorah ===
The southernmost tract of Araia is fringed by high mountains and its expansive woodlands are fed by numerous great rivers flowing from the north to the River of Ichthys that marks the continent's terminus.
=== Yondo ===
The large peninsula that extends westwards from Arktorah once held temperate woods and wild meadows, but is now a wasteland of toxic mists, tainted blue soil and ambling monstrosities.
=== Tolnor ===
The central region of Araia located to the north of Arktorah is the jewel of the world; a fertile and prosperous land named after its ruling city-state. Though agriculture is prevalent, a great many forests remain.
=== Noz-Oraln ===
To the north-west of Tolnor lies a land dominated by pine stands, rocky crags and clear lakes. While beautiful, this ancient domain is home to the kiasyd, the most fearsome fey in Thaelis-Y'Arda.
=== Tor-Sul ===
Lying north of both Tolnor to the south-west and Urchano to the south-east, Tor-Sul is a vast territory of mountains, the tallest in the world excluding the Black Spire itself.
=== Urchano ===
The easternmost land within Araia is the sacred homeland of the orcs, the birthplace of both sapient life and magic itself. it is largely uncharted for the orcs are introverted and intolerant of most trespassers.
