Inner Addar

The interior of Addar is a vast realm of steppes and low mountains that stretches from the Horn Belt and Jarlschlager Range in the west to the border mountains of Knieriem in the east. Between lie the Spicelands, a broad expanse of hills, grasslands, and savanna considered mysterious and exotic to those in the west despite a longstanding trade route connecting it to the central kingdoms.

At the near end of this region are the nations of Nexdor and Sicilia, the former an ally of Evenhold's and the latter its longtime adversary, along with a number of smaller kingdoms and independent city-states. Nexdor and Sicilia have themselves become allies in recent years in order to better guard against the incursions of the rogue Darklord Skeleus, whose northern forces have been advancing against Sicilia. The enormous Shadow Wall, a magical barrier cast by the Darklord several years ago, provides cover for this advance while separating Sicilia from its partner. Areas close to the wall become grey and withered from its influence.

Farther north is the proud warrior culture of Larboria, closely aligned with the Northern Kingdoms, and the horse-riding tribes of Perrenor. Near them lies the Carnivorous Forest, thick with aggressive trees that catch and devour passing fauna.
