Ishkar

Ishkar was thought to be the southernmost continent of Primatis. This was the case until Taretza was found 14 decades ago.   Deserts stretch the land of Ishkar, and the dry climate makes rivers and lakes the most important resources of the continent. Most flora and fauna have adapted to the warm climate, either gathering energy from the sun, or burrowing under the sand to conserve what energy they have. Other than the common dangers of the deserts, not many large beasts roam the sands.   Seasons have few changes, with the winters being slightly cooler, and summer slightly warmer, otherwise there is little difference.   The ancient dwarven city of Khaz'Taveir is speculated to have a connection to the upper plane of Bytopia, and the volcanic islands of the Ashfallen Archipelago remind one of the cruel lands of Gehenna.
