Tian Xia

Information:

The mainland of Tian Xia is incredibly large, equaling (and some say surpassing) the size of any other continent in Golarion. The mountains of the Wall of Heaven (or Qiang Tian as they are known locally) run along the western border of the continent’s northern half from Hongal in the north, all the way to Nagajor in the south. The mountains are incredibly tall with few dips, forcing all overland east-west trade through a limited number of passes, the greatest of which is near the cosmopolitan city of Goka.

To the east of the Wall of Heaven, the land quickly becomes flat and opens into the lands once controlled by Imperial Rule, now Divided into two large empires: Amadar and Xa Hu.

Many of the islands on Tian Xia’s northeastern coast are part of the empire of Amadar, a land slipping toward civil war thanks to the Corruption within the Ruling Council.

Tian Xia’s southern half is much wilder, and dominated by the massive Valashmai Jungle, along with two mountain ranges: the Chenlun Mountains and the Sudisan Peaks. Here lie the territories of the realm of Nagajor, land of the serpentine nagaji and the Floating Islands called the Flying Mountain. South of these mountains the lowlands region is flatter and more fertile. This is where Xa Hu, The Empire of the Eternal Emperor are.
