Svirun

Svirun, known to the Kells as Sathain, and to the Dracae as Sorrcadu, is a continent located to the east of the Ionad Sea and the continent of Erseval, and to the west of the Sea of Shivers. Svirun is made up of four countries; Valkendur, Lothor, Draven, and Norstrei. It was split from Erseval following The Great Divide in the beginning of the Age of Enlightenment.

Regions
As of 1800 AM, Svirun is split into four different provinces.

Valkendur
The arctic region located along the northern coast of Svirun is Valkendur, the adopted homeland of the Skald. Made up of frozen tundras, vast taigas, and grand fjords, Valkendur has a rich history of war and political strife. For most of Valkendur's history, the Skald lived in clans that fought endlessly with one another, creating alliances and rivalries, battling for honor, riches, resources, and faith. Valkendur was once united under a single banner, known today as Queen Frindul's Empire. However, it eventually crumbled with the coming of the Dracae in the end of the Age of Enlightenment.

Lothor
The wooded region on the west coast of Svirun, Lothor is the home of the Kells, and before this, the land of their ancestor-race, the Dagda. The province consists of tall coastal cliffs, enchanted temporal forests, looming conifers, and misty bogs. With a tribe-based society, the Kells of Lothor are known to be neutral to most outside matters, and live a life of nature worship and religious traditions. Lothor is filled with many forms of wildlife, including both the mundane and magical.

Draven
Draven is the gloomy homeland of the Griswulf, and the capital kingdom of their empire. With dank marshes, rolling hills, and forlorn orchards, it is the most populated society in Svirun. Farms dot the land, along with mills, small towns and cities. Draven has a depressing history of disease, tyranny, and war, and is the supposed homeland of the first vampires.

Norstrei
Once the mountainous province of the Dracae, Norstrei is the hostile land of beasts and monsters on the south coast of Svirun. Ever since the end of the Age of Dracae, the ruling species of Norstrei has been the Tarragon, the sadistic half-reptile beastfolk that once served their Dracae masters. The jagged mountains and narrow stone valleys are very difficult to traverse, not just due to their terrain, but for also due to their inhabitants. Countless vile creatures still stalk Norstrei, even long after the Dracae disappeared.
