The southeastern portion of Aranna is dominated by the Plain of Tears, the great wasteland left over after the legendary clash between Azunai and Zaramoth there. The Goblin realm of Gonsiir lies south of this region, while the Northern Reaches stretch out from the desert's northernmost border. The mountainous lands near the very heart of the continent hide the Elven homeland of the Vai'lutra Forest, where sits the town of Aman'lu. The former capital of the Empire of Stars, Iliyara, can be found sitting at the heart of a lake known as the Chalice of the Stars, near the heart of the Northern Reaches; and the archipelago known as the Broken Lands sits just off the northeastern coast of the continent.
