Ileoth
The world's great southern landmass is traditionally divided into three regions. In the east is Old Sarpor, where the farmlands of the Empire's ancestors lie to the northeast of a great desert. Across the Coldreach Mountains lies Khaedar, the former home of a conquered kingdom, and in the west, surrounding the River Ashtet, is a tangle of jungle and lowland mires. Not far off the southeastern coast is the island kingdom of Atlantis.
These days, the continent of Ileoth is more commonly referred to simply as Sarpor.
Geography
The Coldreach Mountains, higher and more treacherous than Anaya’s Bonebreaks, trap rains from the north and west, creating the great expanse of desert on the eastern part of the continent. Most of Old Sarpor’s population lives on the grassy margins of the desert, but the traditional capital is Seraban, a fortress built on an oasis many days’ ride into the desert. The central region, and the most fertile and populated, is called Khaedar after the kingdom that formerly occupied its northern peninsula. Most of the open land that is not used for agriculture is used to pasture sauropods to be used in the meat industry and as work animals. The tropical forests and swamps of western Sarpor are known as Asshad, after Lake Shad in the south. It is hostile terrain, and dragonlings frequently stake out claims in locations too remote to be monitored by the Sarporean military. Lake Shad itself is the domain of an especially powerful black dragon known as Kosog.
