There are currently fourteen countries in the area, Saldaea, Kandor, Arafel and Shienar running west to east from World's End to the Dragonwall, bordered by the Blight and known collectively as the Borderlands. Arad Doman and Tarabon on the Aryth Ocean on the eastern coast, Altara, Illian and Tear, going west to east on the south coast on the Seea of Storms and the landlocked nations of Amadicia, Ghealdan, Murandy, Andor and Cairhien.

Former Nations

There is a great deal of unclaimed land, much of which was initially populated by the lands of Almoth, Hardan, Caralain, Goaban, Irenvelle, Kintara, Maredo and Mar Haddon. Some of these, such as Caralain have left aread of land bearing their name, but little else, others nothing at all except occasional isolated villages and houses.

Geography

A third major range, the Mountains of Mist runs through the continent, separating much of the eastern third from the western areas.
