Rel'Kaoer

Rel'Kaoer is one of the two main landmasses that make up the world of Ellseworld. It is a wilderness that was hidden from the more populous and technologically advanced kingdoms of Ontrath. It has no formal kingdoms like its sister landmass, due to the fact a vast majority of its peoples are either nomadic or so isolated that they have no need for borders to keep intruders out.

The continent is made up of a few distinct regional biomes and is generally quite warm and verdant. Due to the isolation from the world's creator races (and the majority of its population) it is a wild and dangerous place, with huge flora and fauna dominating much of the land. While the people of these lands may be seen as more primitive and scarce by the denizens of Ontrath they make up for their lack of technology with a more innate and deeper connection to the magical weave, nature and even the non-magical have been toughened by the struggles of every day life.

Rel'Kaoer is currently undergoing a cultural upheaval as settlers and invaders cross the newly becalmed ocean in search of unclaimed land and the riches they hold.

## Regions

Unlike Ontrath much of Rel'Kaoer belongs to the wild, with it's people living with the land and are often at the mercy of it. Although there are no kingdoms the landmass does have some distinct territories.

* **The Great Plains of Savahnus** - The great plains occupy most of the northern side of Rel'Kaoer with lush grasslands and sparse forest near the equator and dryer arid plains to the north. This is the home to the Silver Sagittars, a ruling caste of Centaur knights who have allied themselves with Djarak and the Golden Kingdom after a short and decidedly one sided war. Other nomadic peoples such as the Loxodon and Taurotars roam these lands under the watchful eyes of the Sagittars.
* **The Mejantii Jungle** - The majority of the southern portion of Rel'Kaoer is covered in lush, unexplored and deadly rainforest. Very little is known about the creatures or peoples from this place as most who enter here do not return. Only one civilisation is know to reside within - the Jungle Elves of Irith.
* **The White Wastes** - In the very south there is a region of hostile tundra, that is mostly uninhabited. There is only one settlement, Fjordhaven, that exists to guard and service a massive bridge that crosses a continent splitting canyon.
* **The Hungering Flats** - An giant tidal mud flat that is said to consume all those who attempt to cross. Not even the locals attempt it.
* **Manuk** - The largest island surrounding Rel'kaoer it is a lush mountainous spit of land covered in forest that remains relatively untouched.
* **New Djarak** - A small region claimed by Dwarvish settlers in the unclaimed lands of the white wastes, who have grown accustomed to the hard tundra life. Just don't ask them when the dwarves are coming back.
* **The Omen Isles** - A small cluster of islands to the north they are home to a mysterious order of shamans who call themselves "The Omen". These wise folk are often sought out by the people of Rel'Kaoer as they make powerful allies and sage advisors.
* **Hummingbird Island** - A large island that looks a bit like a hummingbird from above.
* **Jiin** - Dense coastal swamp covers this waterlogged island that is said to be populated by a lethal warrior clan, who defend the island from outsiders.
