Lord of the western continents, Emer dominates the map. It is the legendary home of the Masters of Emer, an ancient pantheon of godlike beings who dominated all of Emer, ruling from great palace in the central island of Votania. The Masters are long gone from Emer though tales of the ethereal gods persist, and Votania remains haunted place. Navigators will not take you there (fueling erroneous rumors that their headquarters is located on Votania). Climate on the vast continent is quite varied. Much of the southwest is arid, and while the northernmost regions are cool and temperate; the south-east is humid and tropical, and the central areas are temperate to subtropical.
