Estellia
Estellia is the largest and first continent on the Planet of Tir Newydd. This is where the gods created the first mortal species, and where they spent most of their time when they too walked the earth. The vast continent sprawls from frozen northern snowfields, to hot and dry plains.
Estellia is seen as the most important continent on the planet, a view that is slowly changing now that the gods have left the material plane.
Geography
Vast plains cover most of the continent, separated by large mountain ranges and forests. Many networks of rivers and streams flow through the continent thanks to the number of mountain ranges. The north is cold and frozen for most if not all of the year, whilst the south is tropical, with humid jungles and dry plains.
History
This was the first continent created by the gods when they started to craft Tir Newydd. Therefore, alot of their ideas and big goals were pushed into this large area. It left the continent with dozens of different intelligent species and thousands of regular plants, animals, and monsters.
Over the years the continent has been the location of great society, and devastating wars. Specifically, the end of the first age was a particarlly dark time for the continent, as The Crimson Betrayer and his Lieutenants waged a war that almost engulfed the entire continent. It left the continent scarred and broken, having to rebuild without the support of the gods.
The continent has ever since been trapped in a shadow of its former self, being clutched under the rule of Margot for multiple centuries after his conquest during the mid second age. Currently the world lies in a balance, with it finally starting to thrive once more now that most nations are free from oppression. But with the centre of the continent under the lasting clutches of Margot's undying curse, it is only so long before something bad might happen again.
