Ezelun

Ezelun is the largest and most well-populated continent on the Prime Material Plane.

## Geography

Ezelun has the most varied climate of all the continents on the Prime Material Plane, largely due to its size and location.

The northern and eastern part of Ezelun is largely forested lowlands, with the Mournwind Forest nearly stretching coast to coast. It is blocked only by the Fauverian Cliffs, highlands located on the northeastern coast. The eastern side is mostly flat, containing the Plains of Kalik, which turns into the Souvin Savannah past the Bay of Horns as it nears the southern coast. The southern coast of Ezelun is largely occupied by the Geleth Desert, a dry region due to the barrier of the Bluespine mountains, which run north inland from the western coast. Between the mountains and the Dierun Sea is the Aurelan Jungle, a lush region with plentiful rainfall, which turns into the Mesmerian Swamps as it moves farther north. The center of Somara is taken up by the Sorchilne Valley, containing three major lakes: Lake Cohl, Lake Wyl, and Lake Vhl.

## Inhabitants

Ezelun has a fairly diverse populace, but is largely made up of High Elves, Derdurian Humans, and Orcs.

In the Mournwind Forest to the north is the Allilean Domain, an alliance of small elf kingdoms. Most of its inhabitants are High Elves, but Wood Elves and Sea Elves are also found in smaller numbers.

Along the northeastern coast lies the Derdurian Kingdom, the largest (in land area) human kingdom in Somara. It's constituents are largely Derdurian humans, but it does contain a decent amount of half-elves and half-orcs.

In the southeast lives the Ironblood Orc tribes, a group of orc tribes organized under a single King.

The western coast, though not organized into any political entity, consists mostly of settlements filled with Anduvian Humans.

Other important political entities in Ezelun are Vikunel, the largest Aasimar city in Somara, Ynafel, a largely tiefling-occupied port city in the Geleth Desert, and Vrumire, a large dwarf city located inside the Bluespine Mountains.
