Andena

Andena is the western-most continent known for its diverse territories, lush forests, and as the home of humans. Its major territories are Hemelrand, Ashulta, Byrsar, Tor, and the Jotunn Badlands.

Ever since 700 FA, Ashulta has been ruled by a tribe from the far east, and since the Battle of River's Pass in 142 FA, Ubayyan Islanders have held Byrsar. The land was once ruled solely by the Winter Folk and Jotunn, but when men crossed over in the First Migration of the Second Age, they drove out the Winter Folk and subjugated the Jotunn. The Jotunn now hold claim over the Badlands below Hemelrand. The mix of different races and cultures is exemplified in Tor, a trading city built on the coast between the three powers of Ashulta, Hemelrand, and Byrsar. Andena is not rich in any particular resource, yet it has managed a relatively peaceful existence since the disappearance of the Winter Folk.

Andena is primarily populated by humans because of their homeland of Hemelrand. The other major races are halflings, half-elves, and half-orcs. The prominence of half-breeds has led to Andena being known as the Bastard Land.
