Aranthar

Aranthar is the name of two large continents that are central to most campaigns in Nor. They were once a single continent, but a great geological event split them and create an ocean between them. They are named for the King that ruled the entire continent hundreds of years ago before the split. Over the years the kingdom has been broken up in to many countries, some long gone and some still here. Each country has it's own Govt, culture, and types of people.
