Hepmonaland is a continent to the southeast of the Flanaess. Hepmonaland is the Suel and Oeridian name for the land, named after Eri-hep-Mona[1], the first Suloise explorer to arrive there. The Olman call it Xamolatatl, "Home of the People", and the Touv call it Melavi, "The Bountiful Place".[2] It is the smallest of Oerth's continents.
Description
History
In c. -7411 CY the Torhoon Empire was centered in Hepmonaland. [3]
In about -1900 CY the Olman and Touv peoples started to spread across Hepmonaland [4]
In about -1200 CY Olman begun to arrive in the Amedio Jungle from Hepmonaland, but by about -1100 CY the Amedio city states declared independence from the Olman Hepmonaland empire and by -1050 CY the Olman Amedio Empire had formed (The Scarlet Brotherhood, page 62 & 65). In about -1000 CY there was a great migration of the OLman people out of Hepmonaland.[5]
By about -700 CY most of the Olman had been pushed out of Hepmonaland by the Touv.[5]
Following the Twin Cataclysms in -422 CY, at the end of the Baklunish-Suloise Wars, the Great Migrations resulted in the Suel arriving in Hepmonaland from the north across the Tilva Strait, and in -415 CY one of the first Suel cities was founded in Hepmonaland.[6]
Geography
Hepmonaland is bounded by the Densac Gulf and Vogan Sea to the west, the Solnor Ocean and Sea of Sharks to the east, the Tilva Strait to the northwest, and the Oljatt Sea to the northeast. A spur of islands splits off from the continents western shore, curving north to form Xuxchan Bay. A large island, the Isle of Singing Stones lies to the southwest.
Throughout the continent are various jungles, rainforest, mountains and hills, wetlands, and numerous rivers and other bodies of water. An unhealthy tropical marsh, the Pelisso Swamp, sits along much of the continent's northeastern coast, nearest the Tilvanot Peninsula.
The whole northern half of the continent is covered in jungle. Most of the southern third of the continent is encompassed by the Kabreevo Plain, a dry, grassy savannah filled with different varieties of grasses and scrub trees and bushes depending on the area of the plains.
Hepmonaland is roughly 2.7 million mi2 in area[7]; making it approximately 25% the size of Africa.
