Katshaka,Maztica, and Anchrome
The Continents of Katshaka, Maztica, and Anchrome are very different than most other continents across Toril, due to their development and population. While much of Eastern Toril exists in a medieval and pre-renaissance state, most of the Western Continents remain in the Bronze age. Only the lands of Matzica developed into the Iron Age. This is by no means a critique of culture, but instead, a symbol of historical progress and the lack of historical development in raw data when compared to the east.
Maztica: The Most developed and populous of the continents it sits between Anachrome to the north and Katshaka to the South. The Border between it and Anacrhome is generally seen as the border mountains that cross the isthmus between the large bodies of land, while the Peninsula of Lopango is generally seen as the southernmost reach of Matzica.
The Geography of the Continent is divided as such that to the West Lies a stretch of the mountain that reaches across the western coast, while a massive desert spreads itself across the interior. The East of the Continent is fertile plains and savannah in the north and Jungle to the south. The Peninsula of Lopango is entirely jungle and wraps around the Sea of Azul.

Anachrome
The Lands of Anachrome lie North of Matzica and West of the Island of Evermeet. it is a land largely unexplored by outsiders and as such little beyond generalities is known about is geography. The North is seemingly populated by dense forests and mountains, while the South near Matzica is covered with Deserts and jungles. In between these two extremes lies a large band of Fertile plains and river systems. This land seems the most hospitable, yet remains unpopulated from the little exploration undertaken.
A group of Feral Elves called the Poscadar Elves live in the south of the continent and are openly hostile to all foreigners even the elves of Evermeet and all precautions should be taken to defend oneself from them and their attacks. A Group of Thri-Kreen is said to have been spotted in the South as well and should be treated with equal caution.
It is rumored that the Aearee species of the creator races once called Anachrome home, with rumors of a floating city lying in ruins in the northern reaches of the continent near the Glacier of Aurune and the Lands around it. These lands while not connected to the rest of the continent are considered a part of it. These frozen lands so far contain the only remains of the creator species and hint at their destruction by dragons. Documents from the city indicate attacks by dragons, which match the increased sightings of dragons by explorers.
