| The '''Flanaess''' is the eastern part of the continent of [[Oerik]], one of the four continents of [[Oerth]]. As well as being home to a number of demihuman and humanoid races, it is also inhabited by the [[Suloise|Suel]], [[Bakluni]], [[Oerid]], and [[Flan]] subraces of humanity. | |
| | |
| ==Geography==
| |
| The Flanaess can be broken down geographically as follows: the [[Baklunish Basin]] in the northwest, the [[Empire of Iuz]] in the north, the [[Thillonrian Peninsula]] in the northeast, the [[Sea of Dust]] in the far west, the [[Sheldomar Valley]] in the west, old [[Ferrond]] and its southern frontier (including the [[Free City of Greyhawk]]) at the center of the Flanaess, old [[Sulm]] and the [[Aerdy]] frontier to the east, the old [[Great Kingdom]] to the far east, and the [[Amedio Jungle]] to the southwest.

| ==Weather==
| |
| Except in the far north, temperatures reach below zero only in the winter months of [[Greyhawk Calendar|Sunsebb]] and [[Greyhawk Calendar|Fireseek]] and sometimes at night in late autumn and early spring. Even then temperatures seldom dip far below 0. The northeast and central regions of the Flanaess are the coldest, with winters extending into [[Greyhawk Calendar|Ready'reat]] and [[Greyhawk Calendar|Readying]]. The warm currents of the [[Dramidj Ocean]] moderate the climate of the lands that border it. Summer typically lasts five or more months. Prevailing winds blow from the northeast in winter and autumn and from the southeast the rest of the year. Wintry northern winds are sometimes known as "[[Telchur|Telchur's]] breath," while easterly winds are sometimes called "[[Atroa|Atroa's]] laugh." Plentiful rainfall supports bountiful agriculture throughout most of the Flanaess.
