Zjik

The continent of Zjik holds what are known as the Northern Territories, a hodge podge collection of humanoid races, human colonies, and unincorporated kingdoms. Zjik is the northernmost landmass in the known world of Auire, and lies across a narrow ocean from the continent of Rielli.

Few of the regions in this continent are civilized or united under a government, they are just loosely bordered areas with similar geography and culture. There are several proper kingdoms on the coasts, though many have since fallen.

Proper Kingdoms

Karnak- Kingdom of the dwarves, mountains and valleys and underground cities.
