Geography

Overview

The Ascendant Wild campaigns are set on the massive planet of Epos-Goth. Specifically, on or around the main continent of Scandiaca. There are smaller continents surrounding it (like Nyctea to the north and Javanica to the far south), but the bulk of the population exists on Scandiaca. This large island continent has a vast amount of flora and fauna, yet the entire continent exists in the temperate region of the planet, so it does not have a large variation in overall climate (unlike Nyctea which is quite warm and Javanica, which exists entirely within the subarctic region of Epos-Goth).

Scandiaca is heavily forested, with some large areas of grasslands and hills being the most common terrains found. However, there are a few mountain ranges which run across the continents, and regions where marshes and swamps replace the temperate forests. Scandiaca is also blessed with large river systems that run far inland, providing access to the oceans even to territories which lie far from the coastline.

Scandiaca covers over 4.5 millions square kilometers of land area. It includes a few large islands just off shore (such as Aruvyn to the northeast, Kothrin island to the east, the mysterious Ildez island to the southeast, the Naerscova island chain to the south, and Fonnis to the west).
