The Greater Continent is the name given to the main continent in the dimension of [[Arindell]]. The full extent of the continent itself is barely known, much like the extent of the dimension itself. During the [[Mage Wars]] much of the continent was held by the [[Marcon Alliance]] and housed both their capitol and jewel cities.

−
Large regions of the continent were never re-inhabited after the Mage Wars, including the bulk of the interior (the Marcon capitol on [[Lake Bentika]] is thought to be nearly untouched since it was abandoned in [[B.G.A.]] 300). Additionally, there are numerous areas left polluted and dangerous. The great explorer [[Finious Aberton]] died of radiation exposure after a visit to [[Centered]].

The name was first used in the early [[Mage Wars#The First Chaotic Period|First Chaotic Period]] by a scribe writing in [[Sun's Beacon]], who recorded an effort to sail around the continent by early explorers. Archaeological excavations carried out in the [[Ages#The Second Age|Second Age]] found evidence that the expedition may have reached as far south as [[Seacrest Spire Flight#Seacrest Spire|Seacrest Spire]].

Major Mountain Ranges

Major Rivers and Lakes

Regions

North of High Mountains

The regions North of High Mountains.


Agras Plains

The Agras Plain is a large plains region south of the Stormreaver Range. It is home to Lake Bara and the Thenius River, and is one of the main flat-world population centers of the Alliance.


Notable Cities

Brutish Sea

Modia

Modia.jpg

Modia is a region of the Greater Continent separated from the central mass by the Brutish Sea, and internally integrated by the Transverse River System. Its coast encompasses Grakest Bay and Shield Island. Northern Modia is a total-control-zone of the Gudersnipe Foundation, while the southern reaches see several jointly-administered regions.

Narano

The Narano was a powerful culture of warrior-mages who existed for several centuries during the First Chaotic Period along the Nara River. Very little is known about the Narano, as they were later absorbed into (or more likely conquered by) the Marcon Alliance and the bulk of information comes through secondary sources.


Eastern Tracks

Macaron

Erum

The Dragonlands

At the height of the Dynastic Period, The Dragonlands covered nearly a quarter of the Greater Continent. Although quite literally in the Marcons' backyard, the interior of the lands enjoyed great peace and prosperity.

The Interior

The Interior refers to a region of the Greater Continent bounded on all sides by mountain ranges. It is a Plateau, and relatively level. During the Mage Wars, this became the central region for the Marcon Alliance, with capitols at Lake Bentika and Centered. The Interior is surrounded on all four sides by:

Northlands

The Northlands is a region of Aren separated from the Greater Continent by the Brutish Sea and the Gigi Sea. The region is extremely inhospitable; cold with very little vegetation, and remains largely unexplored. It consists of three major continents separated by a permanently ice-bound sea. While interest in exploitation of natural resources was common during the Alliance era, no permanent settlements were ever constructed, and no successful land-based expeditions were made past a few hundred miles from the coastline. The smallest body of water, the Straight of Gagiger, separating The Northlands from the Greater Continent is known for bad ice flows and horrific storms, such that coastal settlements even on the continental side were rare and sea-trade through the straight non-existent. Even in the modern era it was easier to sale around the Northlands than through the straights.


Gigi Sea

Southern Reaches

The Southern Reaches is a region of the Greater Continent that includes the land mass of Iami as well as a large portion of the continent itself. The region saw a great deal of activity over a protracted period of time, more in some ways than the Agras Plain.


Northeastern Sea

Yanomamo

Counterweize Region

The Counterweize Region is an area to the extreme south of the Greater Continent. It is home to Ral'Parthia and Gorban.

Serpentia Region

The Serpentia Region on Aren consists of two continents: Serpentia and Storm Breach. The Storm Breach Dragon Flight is based there.

  • Serpentia
    • Gorbash - capitol city
    • Trisole - major city
    • Polaris - major city - together these three make up "the nuclear triad" as this region is central to the Alliance production of atomic weapons.
    • Collabria
