As humanity spread across the continent, it came to be known as Adenland, which means "only land" in the Old Tongue – a somewhat untrue epithet, given that humans came from somewhere else, though those origins are all but forgotten. Much of Adenland is composed of rolling green hills and meadows, broken up by forests and thickets. This wide expanse of arable land cultivated – most literally – the growth of humanity across the continent, and as it did, it eventually solidified into the kingdom of [[Skadyrik]], which continued without serious interruption until [[The Riving]]. Humanity's domain grew until it reached natural boundaries in all cardinal directions: to the south, an endless [[Skelaus Desert|desert]]; to the north, a range of [[The Mountains|mountains]] that grew only ever taller; to the east, an angry and violent landscape of [[The Molten Lands|lava and smoke]]; and to the west, the sea whence they first came. Each of these limits were tested by explorers throughout the centuries, with only limited success. The large central region of the continent adjacent to the coast was mostly wooded and temperate, with meadows and fields. The vast majority of Skadyrik's citizens lived here and built their cities here ([[Brennmark]] was on the far eastern edge of this region). South of [[Sydvak]], there is a brackish bog known as the [[Vondir-swamp]] that reaches from the coast several miles inland. It was occasionally used for executions. It is rumoured that Alesus cultists dwell within, and it is generally held to be a place of evil. Since The Riving, it is uninhabited like the rest of the Surface, though the effects of the blight are not apparent. # Region Details **Climate:** Ranges from temperate in the middle, to hot and arid in the southern desert, to cold and frigid in the mountains to the north. # Regions %% DATAVIEW_PUBLISHER: start ```dataview TABLE WITHOUT ID file.link AS "Regions" from "3-Places/Regions" where continent = this.file.link where publish = true sort file.link ASC ``` %% | Regions | | ---------------------------------------------------------- | | [[3-Places/Regions/Skadyrik.md\|Skadyrik]] | | [[3-Places/Regions/Skelaus Desert.md\|Skelaus Desert]] | | [[3-Places/Regions/The Molten Lands.md\|The Molten Lands]] | | [[3-Places/Regions/The Mountains.md\|The Mountains]] | | [[3-Places/Regions/Vondir-swamp.md\|Vondir-swamp]] | %% DATAVIEW_PUBLISHER: end %% # Gallery
