Astivan

Settled by immigrants and refugees from all directions, this northern continent is a hodgepodge of cosmopolitan cultures.  In the north, danger—and opportunity—waits for adventurers over every hill in orc-ruled Belkzen. The north’s established nations are only marginally safer, from the rugged wilderness of Varisia and witch-ruled Irrisen to the shadowed moors of gothic Ustalav and sadistic Nidal. Avistan also has the distinction of being the center of several nonhuman cultures in the Inner Sea region, as dwarves attempt to reforge their lost empire in the Five Kings Mountains and elves guard the reclaimed  lands in forested Kyonin that have been their stronghold since their return to Golarion after the Age of Darkness.
