Ezvelan
Greater Ezvelan is the icy region to the north of Liruzon. It is inhabited chiefly by ezov and the yarov of Yarzon-Ezvelan. Most inhabited areas are along the southern coast, as the center of the continent is a massive ice sheet. Ezvelan is, in fact, a large island, separated from continental Iltezon by a narrow strait and from Montera, Vance, and Valvar by the Gulf of Montera.
Geography
[edit | edit source]Greater Ezvelan is a large island to the north of mainland Rodin, and consists of the icy Vyrau Wastes to the center and north, home to none but the occasional yaref. In the northwest is the isolated Geldin Sound, a harsh boreal region that is regardless habitable, especially to ezov. Continuing south along the coast is Franzelan, a moderately populated region generally considered peripheral to yet distinct from the primary Ezvelan region.
Ezvelan proper consists of the southern and southwestern coast, along the Yaseo Mountains and the Kodakoda Trench, and is the primary home of the ezov; the western island chain, Azadir, has a distinct population but is also ezef-based, and has intentionally remained separate from Ezvelan proper.
In the western part of the Yaseo Mountains are the surface settlements of the Tadeleti, and just south thereof is the high kingdom of Yarzon-Ezvelan.
In the southeast, the Straits of Ezvelan separate the subcontinent from the Vana region
