Fireland: This region is known across the rest of Oerth as Fireland due to it's huge volcano, Doom. Fumes emitted locally hide the handmaiden moon Celene and often cause the mirage of a second sun.
New Cantaboria: Human settlers named the land after the home whence they were exiled, far across the western ocean. Now it's folk are very insular, and think their island an entire continent, simply calling it Cantaboria. It has four regions known as Municipia, Khalkidia, Griffildi and the significant, more populous southern peninsula of Cantabria.
CANTABRIA RISK (informative & fun game)
The Lands of Cantabria: In ancient times, Sarco the hero came from the west and forged the human Kingdom of Cantabria across the whole peninsula. The legendary nation crumbled away a millennium ago, living on only in human folk-memory.
For the thousand years since those days, the land has been divided into petty feudal fiefdoms. These are the major divisions of recent times:
Denzalia:
Lashed
by rains from over the western ocean, home to hardy humans and
lizard-folk.
Istria:
Trades
with the dwarven city-state in the mountains and foreign humans of
Municipia, but troubled by kobold nests, orc raiders and
ghouls.
Inner
Kingdom: Fertile
farmlands supporting the large population of the walled city of
Canton.
Duettin:
Centre
of industry with once-rich town guilds, but now ruined by plague
and lack of trade.
City
of Chia: Ruled
by an immortal sorceror, the ArchMage of Chia, via the powerful
Mages Guild. Veloii:
Pleasantly
warm area with vineyards and a thriving new dwarf hold in the Red
Mountains.
Uradili:
Human
rule here is threatened by an orc tribe which has taken control in
the mountains.
The ancient elf kingdom of Elhadriel, it's forests forbidden to humans and other races, has always successfully manipulated nearby peoples to suit elvish purposes and remain independent.
Human lands of Cantabria were briefly re-unified seventy years ago by warlord Clave Nurad, but he was then slain in battle against elf/draconic forces. The elf war-leader caused evil Breulentod, ancient red dragon demi-god, to come and kill Lord Nurad. A man favoured by the elves was soon installed as king of humans and named Mark ('XXVI'), giving him authority from Sarco's legendary dynasty.
Since then, decades of war and devastating plague have once again broken the human lands asunder.
