The East

=== Geography and Environment ===
The East is a massive continent where Thaloros was sealed after the The Great Envar War. It has a dense, cold jungle environment throughout, with even the jungles experiencing freezing temperatures. The continent is known for its extremely harsh conditions, including high wind speeds reaching up to 250 mph in certain areas.
=== Climate and Visibility ===
The climate in The East is characterized by perpetual darkness and intense cold. A thick fog blankets the land, severely limiting visibility and making navigation treacherous, especially for those inexperienced or rookies. The combination of freezing temperatures and strong winds creates a challenging environment for exploration and survival.
=== Mapping Difficulties ===
Mapping The East is notoriously difficult due to its extreme weather conditions. The thick fog, freezing temperatures, and unpredictable winds make accurate mapping nearly impossible, especially for those inexperienced or rookies. This has led to many expeditions facing challenges in understanding the layout and geography of the continent.
=== Flora and Fauna ===
The flora and fauna of The East have adapted to survive in the freezing environment. The dense jungles are home to various species capable of withstanding the cold and harsh winds. However, these environments are also hazardous, with aggressive wildlife and unique adaptations that pose risks to explorers, particularly those inexperienced or rookies.
=== Historical Discovery ===
The East was first discovered in 4010 AC by Third Order voyagers. This discovery marked the beginning of attempts to explore and understand the continent's mysteries. The harsh conditions and unknown dangers have made it a focal point of exploration and research, especially for those inexperienced or rookies.
=== Current Exploration Efforts ===
Ongoing exploration efforts in The East involve diverse groups such as adventurers, researchers, and military teams, with specialized equipment required for those inexperienced or rookies. These efforts aim to unravel the secrets of the continent, understand its unique climate and geography, and develop strategies for safe navigation and exploration.
=== Cultural Significance ===
The continent's hostile environment and mysterious nature have sparked interest among scholars and historians, despite the inherent dangers, particularly for those inexperienced or rookies.
=== Safety Precautions ===
Venturing into The East requires meticulous preparation and specialized equipment, especially for those inexperienced or rookies. Expeditions must account for the freezing temperatures, high winds, and limited visibility. Safety measures include protective gear, navigation tools suited for extreme conditions, and contingency plans for emergencies.

Date: 14th Day of the Second Moon, Year 4010 AC
We set sail eastward from Assai, with the hope of new lands. The sea, a vast expanse of the uncharted, beckoned us on the first day of the second moon. Our journey thus far has been fraught with storms and unpredictable currents, yet our resolve remains unshaken.

Date: 89th Day of the Second Moon, Year 4010 AC
An impenetrable fog has engulfed our ship. Compasses are spinning rapidly, it makes no sense. We cannot confirm which direction we're headed. The crew is uneasy, but our supplies are still plentiful.
   [------------------------105----------------------]
Date: 105th Day of the Second Moon, Year 4010 AC
We have arrived in a dense, tropical jungle. It feels like it's been night time for days, and we can hardly see, a deep fog makes visibility nearly impossible. Strange flora and fauna surround us. This land defies all logic and reason. We walked in a straight line for hours and we ended up right back where we started.

Date: 133rd 114th 122nd Day of the Second Moon, Year 4010 AC
Exploration here is not within our capabilities, even with our extensive preparations. The landscape twists upon itself, it's created a labyrinth. Many of our crew are lost. We figured out that the echoing of sound is our only reliable method of traversal.

Date: 129th Day of the Second Moon, Year 4010 AC
A small altercation had been introduced to us once we figured out that there had been another group of humans, though, nothing too major had happened, as of yet, at least.

Date: 130th Day of the Second Moon, Year 4010 AC
We have located some of our crew, but they're not quite the same, they're changed, greatly so. We've returned to the ship, battered, but alive. We leave for Assai today.
