## Etymology

The Etymology of the name 'Seron' comes from the Allanorian 'Sera', meaning literally 'The Known Existent Limits of Reality', but more commonly meaning the World. Initially Seron was named 'Sera', as no other continents were known, but upon the discovery of the other continents, it was renamed 'Seron', or 'of Sera'.

## Geography

Seron is the second largest continent, behind the massive continent of Nova Terra. To its west lies the sub-continent of Altis, as well as the Irileth Archipelago. To its north lies the Great White Expanse, a massive sea of ice and snow. To its south lies the continent of Haravayin Hogher, and to its east is the continent of Īsutan'airandongdao, frequently shortened to Īsu.

Generally the geography of Seron is divided into Western Seron (covering the Summerset Island, the Moniclands, and the lands of Mors, Silverwoods, Skoona, and Falmouth), the Easterlands (covering Est, the northern Khaganate, the Worldspine mountains) and the Far East.

### Northwest

The Northwest of Seron is divided, typically from the far borders of the Great White Expanse down to the Skoonan-Albonic Border. It is a dangerous land filled with many violent creatures.

* The Frozen North: The Frozen North is the typical term for those lands that lie south of the Great White Expanse, marked by the Bay of Forenzo down to the northern edge of the Northguard mountains.
	+ The 5 Towns: The 5 Towns, Jorgamundr, Sigurd, Alekir, Laines, and Chinuk are the northernmost points of civilization. They generally are in the area of the Bay of Forenzo
	+ The 4 Tribes: The Wolf Tribe, Bear Tribe, Yeti Tribe, and Frost Giant Tribe are all spread out to the northeast of the 5 towns, living in the wastes of the western Frozen North.
* Skoonanlands: The Skoonanlands, measured from the northwestern tip of the Einjhari Peninsula to the edge of the Hinterfol Forest. Considered wild and untameable, it is home to the majority of the Skoonan nations.
* The Sea of Storms: The Sea lies between the Skoonanlands and Bay of Forenzo to the eastern edge of the Irileth archipelago.

### North

The North of Seron is divided from North of the Northguard mountains, and from Chinuk to the Great Bastion. It is barren, with the only things inhabiting it being Frost Giants and White Dragons, locked in eternal combat with each other.

* The Frozen North: Eastern Frozen North has been left untouched by most adventurers. Only a handful of daring expeditions from the 5 towns ever set foot in the east of the already dangerous north. Generally the only signs of civilization that can be found here are disparate unnamed Frost Giant tribes. This and the Frost Giant Tribe of the Four Tribes, who are as isolated from their fellow tribesmen as they are from society.
* The Bay of Huan-Do: Smaller than the Bay of Forenzo, the Bay of Huan-Do is the second of the two interloping bays that form the Nordlund Penninsula.
* The Nordlund Penninsula: A small strip of land, with the Bays of Forenzo to its west and Huan-Do to its east. It connects Seron to the Great White Expanse.

### Northeast

The Northeast is home to the adventurous and courageous Beyeuk peoples. Before their conquest by the Shinjians, the Beyeuk dominated much of the northeast of Seron. But the Shinjians, acknowledging the dangers of the Frozen North, constructed the Great Bastion to protect the Empire from it.

* Beyeung: The lands of Beyeung, including its mighty city of Luoyang all lay within Northeastern Seron. Its mighty lands remain separated from the Easterlands by the Wooded Gate.
