The easternmost section of Addar is best known as the home of the technologically advanced human nation of Knieriem. Occupying the lands around the coast's many large bays and inlets, the crafters of Knieriem are masters of steam power, metalwork, and the fabrication of complex clockwork mechanisms. Steam-driven locomotives, naval vessels, and airships are common in the nation, and the understanding of how to create them has begun to spread to other parts of the continent. (The Kingdom of Evenhold recently piloted its first railroad line.)
South of the mountains bordering Knieriem, the land breaks into a complex archipelago of hundreds of islands that stretches down to the northern coast of the neighboring continent of Ja'gala. The islands are inhabited by a mix of peoples, some sophisticated and open to outside trade and others aggressive and insular.
