Hepmonaland
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, 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." It is the smallest of Oerth's continents.
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.
An unhealthy tropical marsh, the Pelisso Swamps, sits along much of the continent's northeastern coast.
Climate
Hepmonaland is a tropical landmass, suffering frequent storms.
