Khorvaire
Khorvaire is found in Eberron's northern hemisphere. It is bounded by the Bitter Sea to the north, the Lhazaar Sea to the east, the Barren Sea to the west, and the Thunder Sea to the south. The landscape of Khorvaire varies greatly, from wastelands and forbidding mountains in the north to deserts and jungles in the south, with everything in between.
Khorvaire is a large continent with many nations and autonomous regions. The borders of many of these areas are disputed, despite having been determined in the Treaty of Thronehold. The Treaty of Thronehold officially ended the Last War. The treaty recognized the following nations as sovereign states: Aundair, Breland, Darguun, the Eldeen Reaches, Karrnath, the Lhazaar Principalities, the Mror Holds, Q’barra, the Talenta Plains, Thrane, Valenar, and Zilargo. These nations abide by a common set of laws and maintain diplomatic relations. The Demon Wastes and Shadow Marches are regions that have no unified government, while Droaam has declared itself to be a nation but has yet to be recognised by the others.
Aundair, Breland, Cyre, Karrnath and Thrane are collectively referred to as the Five Nations. These nations formed the heart of the Kingdom of Galifar, and while each has a unique cultural identity they are built on this shared foundation. Families are spread across the Five Nations; the rulers of the Five Nations are tied to the Wynarns, the royal bloodline of Galifar. Despite their differences, an Aundairian has more in common with a Thrane than they do with a Zil gnome or a Lhazaar pirate. Aside from Cyre—which was destroyed in the Last War—the Five Nations remain the largest and most powerful countries in Khorvaire.
