The northwestern portion of Addar is a broad horn of land that juts from the Great Mountains, descending to a rough coastline of jagged capes and inlets along the Cold Seas.
The southernmost third of the region is extremely mountainous and has only a sparse human population, with scattered orcish kingdoms and tribes occupying some of the high valleys in the east, and gnomes living in the valleys and foothills of the west. The central and northern portions of the region are known as the Land of Ta, a treacherous and war-torn realm inhabited by a mix of humans, dwarves, orcs, elves, and other races in a complex network of feuding kingdoms. A chain of large lakes dominates the eastern landscape.
Trade with Northwest Addar is limited and Evenhold's scholars know few details about its inhabitants or the internal geography of this rugged and dangerous land.
