Erasumaa

The Erasumaa region spans the better part of the continent bearing the same name. The majority of this region is arid desert, although its coastlines are well settled and multiple rivers and tributaries connect its inner oases to the open sea.

To the northeast, along the coast, is the city of Sydan; its political and mercantile influence has drawn a great many peoples and cultures to the area, allowing the surrounding region to be well-settled and vibrant in the face of the relatively inhospitable environment.

Much of the western side of the region is dominated by a massive desert, respected as the territory of Val Habar and its people.

Toward the south, the desert begins to break, transitioning first to dry grassland, and gradually to marshland in the vicinity of Maaraasema. A major caravan route leads between Sydan and Maaraasema, punctuated by small outposts and refuges from the sun and heat.
