The Western Continent is the western continent of the world. Its major features are the Goaway Mountains and the Great Barren Desert. After the Elves forested the northern part of the continent beyond the mountains, they left the southern part to the Human and lizard races. However most of the southern part is occupied by the Desert leaving only narrow zones of livable land. The people of that livable land have fought each other for five hundred years. Every year new expeditions and conquests are made. Countries and political maps change very frequently.
