Since orcish pirates first appeared on west-legonian coasts, vikings and other adventurers rushes to discover an unknown continent to expand power, poverty and territory. The first official "discovery" by modern western kingdoms happened in the year 0 n.C. when a viking expedition of Captain Haldir reached the coast of the orclands. But legends tell, that the first human civilisations developed here on the eastern continent and long forgotten brothers had build up their ancient empires. Additional, the Fire Elven tribe and many old dwarves settled on the eastern continent after being banished from their homeland.

The Orclands
Harsh winds, dry rocky plains and cold mountains make the orclands not a beautiful environment but nevertheless, some races succeeded to create own cultures. Most parts of the wild landscapes between the teeth of Moglorokz in the north and the mountains of exasperation in the south are dominated by the orcish hordes, the rest is ruled by animals and nature.

Peoples
Teeth of Moglorokz
The main mountain peaks touching the northern border of the orclands are called teeth of Moglorokz. Most settlements of the orcs are founded there so it can be assumed that the Orcs originally were a mountain race living in caves. It holds the fountain of skullstream.
Ogre Forest
A part of the far northern coast is coniferous woodland. Aside wolves and trolls, a bigger population of ogres is living in the many small caves under the hilly forest.
Agami swampland
Aside plants, Kua and Agami nobody would really want to live there, so not many people travelled through it to collect information about.
Mountains of exasperation
No other part of the eastern continent has seen so much blood than the thin valleys and high cliffs where the orlanian citizen fought the orcs for the last few centuries. Today, all kind of outsiders, rogues and other twilight people has choosen this world to live.

Moonwood
One of the darkest woodlands of Legonia is Moonwood, where the highest trees ever cover the ground. For travellers it appears to be night all the day while a few mysterious citizen are guarding ancient holy places. This is the world of the shadow elves.
The frosty wild
The North-east is a wide and cold land where civilisation ends behind the kingdom of Glar and the highlands of the Hägglör tribes.
Glar
The land of Glar is settled by the Glarians, a race of half-dwarves split apart from the orc wars long ago. Snowy fields and thick pine forests define the taiga landscape.
The Highlands
Open grasland and deep cliffs are used by the Hägglörs to breed sheeps and horses.
Orlanian lands
The highest population of people in the eastern continent share the fruitful landscapes between mountainous north and desert in the south. It's assumed that the first humans came from here though most resting parts of the first human civilisation can be found more to the south.

Hazraddin eternos
Smaller than the desert of Ark'tohl but a big step less comfortable, hazraddin eternos is the hottest place of Legonia and marks the border between the plains and oriental cultures. Along the desert's begin, some Anuban nomads, Tsinka, Sandlings and Cattull are living. Also many tombs and forgotten realms of the old empire can be found, so it's possible that the desert had expanded after the demongod war.
The Multhis
The Multhis is a legendary land which got forgotten over the centuries. It's assumed to exist or existed in or near the desert Hazraddin eternos and probably got corrupted by evil forces in the Demongod war. According the few scriptures mentioning this lost land, the human tribe of Anubans and some old troll species are supposed to live there in an own kindgom. Today, the Multhis is nothing else than a rumour because nobody has seen it for centuries.
Insaani land
The fruitful, subtropical to tropical landscape aside the Nereusian sea and Ifrit's grave is place for all main settlements of Insaani culture today and were possible center of the old empire. While Muckar tribes are living mostly in the palmforests and jungles, the Insaani of the Kalifate Hatrapedi share farming spaces. The climate changes because of a summer and a winter monsoon.
Snalwadshi Peninsula

The mediterran climate made the eastern part well populated since insaani survivours escaped from the demongod war to the east. The mountainous regions owns additional unique races and creatures like Harpies, the many islands are mostly undiscovered. Some are used from surviving demon races and their cults. In the North-west a small kingdom exists, Sultana.

Before the big apocalypse of the eastern continent, the island of Mojache was bound to insaani land, today the whole landscape, which is covered with rainforests, lagunes or mountains is controlled by Atlaua, Ack-Ack or wild biests. Also some dinosaurs can be found. The western centre holds the still-active vulcano Mount Thalon, the south-west is a vulcanic landscape with fruitful ashfields, the north-east a thick jungle.
Armakian jungle
The rainforest of Ar-mak once belonged to the old empire territory Ar-mak. Most parts of it got lost in the abyss of Ifrit's grave. The rest part is populated with Cattull, Muckar tribes and many wild biests.
