Ortheid

Introduction
Ortheid is a continent located entirely in the Northern Hemisphere of Erde. It is bordered by The Western Sea to the West, The Inner Sea to the South-west, The Khuysuk Waters to the South-East, The Frozen Sea to the North, and the Panang Seas to the East. Ortheid covers about 15,000,000 square miles, and contains almost 300 million people.

It used to be connected by a land-bridge to Kopeni where Lavarr is today, but now is entirely surrounded by water except by a land bridge to a mostly-unexplored 'Frozen North' continent.

The continent has many major lakes, such as Lake Anorr in Shaw Cral, Lake Zapharo in Deane, ect. The Mistryén, the native population to the continent, believe that each lake hosts an ancient nature-spirit.

Western Ortheid
Often thought of as an independent continent, western Ortheid has many differences to eastern Ortheid. The borders between the two are usually thought of as being the Lusenya Peaks because of the cultural identity of the people living west of them, however geographically the city of Lavarr presents a more central position in the continent.

Eastern Ortheid
There are two major nations in Eastern Ortheid, namely the Qy Empire and Edine. There are a series of Regedai tribes who live in the Far Steppe, but their population hardly peaks at 500,000.

Qy Empire
The Qy Empire is a collection of feudal kingdoms and states led by The Serene Emperor. Mostly populated with Elves, The Qy Empire is the only Sydan-majority state in Ortheid, due to its proximity to Adanur.
