Geography & Landmarks

in Atlas of the Flaeness

Oerik's north-easternmost section is known as the Flanaess, which is isolated from the rest of the continent by the Dramidj Ocean and a string of towering mountain chains stretching from the Yatils down to the volcanic Hellfurnaces. To the west of those are steppes and the horrific wastes of the sea of dust, where the ancient Balunish Empire once lay. Beyond these barriers, tales say, are great and ancient empires, mountains so tall that they dwarf the great Crystalmists, and monsters of inconceivable horror.

Further, the Flanaess is separated from the rest of Oerth by other natural barriers. To the north lies the dangerous Land of Black Ice and the aptly named Icy Sea: to the east the immense, storm-racked Solnor Ocean, said to stretch over a thousand leagues. To the southeast are the jungle and swamps of tropical Hepmonaland; due south is the huge Densac Gulf and the wild Amedio Jungle.
