Madrin

Madrin is a continent in the southeast corner of the World Map. The most notable feature of Madrin is the massive Deep Desert that makes up the northeastern corner of the continent. This large desert accounts for nearly a third of the continent's land mass. A fertile strip along the east shore is made possible by two rivers, one running south, the other north that meet at a confluence (where Alwah was built along the east side of the rivers, close to both the rivers' confluence an the lake on the southern branch) and heads west to the sea. Massur was build upon a spring/lake that feeds the northern branch of the river while the southern branch is fed from the Asanamet Mountain Range that dominates the central portion of the continent. The fathest northwest portion of the continent is dominated by high hills, making an approach along the coast from Jimsport south to Ma'Hafat difficult by sea.

The Asanamet Range is a strip of tall, steep mountains that separates the northern and southern sections of the Madrin. These mountains are difficult to cross and no pass has been found through. This range contains a number of volcanic peaks and extends to a series of steep peaks off the western coast. To the east, the range extends to the ocean and, as with the easern approach to Madrin along the Deep Desert, approach is made difficult by the proximity of a constantly blowing  Curavali Maran. The storm will be described in greater detail in the Prokellia file.

The souther portion of Madrin is isolated from the world by the Asanamet range to the north and west, icefields to the southwest and south, and the Curavali Maran to the east. This region is an undeveloped temperate deciduous-to-coniferous forrest (north to south) that extends practically all the way to the sea.
