| Eumeria is a collection of many different climates and terrains, ranging from frigid arctic wastes to sun bleached deserts and temperate forest belts. The largest single area within Eumeria is the Kingdom of Atharia - a human country for the most part united by religion. The land here is temperate, cool to the north, especially around the Dragonreaches - a mountainous region rich in lost treasure and old civilisations. For the most part though, Atharia is a mixture of forests and grasslands, the countryside covered in small villages and farmsteads, as well as the occasional towns and cities. Atharia is split by the Turgath Sea, a sea which is slowly draining as time goes on. | Eumeria is a collection of many different climates and terrains, ranging from frigid arctic wastes to sun bleached deserts and temperate forest belts.

| To the north of Atharia is Gorthan - a region of open grasslands, bordering on tundra to the far north, populated by barbarian nomads and a few city states. Gorthan is for the most part unexplored wilderness. Its northern boundaries are marked by glacier covered mountain peaks. | To the north of Atharia is Gorthan - a region of open grasslands, bordering on tundra to the far north, populated by barbarian nomads and a few city states.

| The kiar is a race very similar in some respects to humanity. Many consider them a degenerate form of humans, though the two species are very much different. They tend to be slightly shorter than humans, though heavier of build. They are bald, but have hair on their arms and in a strip down their backs. | The kiar is a race very similar in some respects to humanity.

| **Atharic** is a common trade language in Eumeria, as well as being the native tongue of the Kingdom of Atharia. This does not mean that all civilised people speak Atharic, just that the chances of finding someone who does is much greater than for any other language. Of course, in northern Gorthan or Calhaina, doing so is still going to be almost impossible, but traders, merchants and travellers will often know it. Labeth is the written alphabet for Atharic. | **Atharic** is a common trade language in Eumeria, as well as being the native tongue of the Kingdom of Atharia.
