Sval-Eiren

Physiographically, Sval-Eiren is a single continent. The concepts of Eiren and Svalheim as distinct continents date back to antiquity and their borders are geologically arbitrary. The division of Sval-Eiren into two continents reflects North-South cultural, linguistic, and ethnic differences, some of which vary on a spectrum rather than with a sharp dividing line. The border does not necessarily follow political boundaries. Sval-Eiren is connected to Pahada and Parthan at the region referred to as Mizrah, and Sval-Eiren is sometimes combined with Pahada, Parthan, and Tiantian to make the largest contiguous landmass on Gaia Atlia called Continenti Orientalem. Due to the vast landmass and differences in latitude, Sval-Eiren exhibits all but Group A climates under the Köppen classification, including harsh types of hot and cold temperatures, high and low precipitation and various types of ecosystems.

=Eiren=

Eiren is situated in the southwestern portion of Sval-Eiren, bordered in the north by the Cloten Mountains, in the south and east by the Vathic Ocean, and in the southwest by the line of lakes and depressions that separate Mizrah from Pahada and Parthan. It includes a number of highly powerful political, military, and economic states. Nations here include Inoroth, Fanaglia, Quibella, Nill, and Abelardy.

The Eirish climate is largely affected by warm Vathic currents that temper winters and summers on much of the continent. Further to the northeast, seasonal differences are more noticeable than towards the southwest.

=Svalheim=

Svalheim occupies the northeastern portion of Sval-Eiren, bordered to the south by the Cloten Mountains, the east by the Vathic Ocean, and the northwest by the Eisdrache.

The geography of Svalheim is extremely varied. Notable are fjords, Mountains, flat, low areas, and archipelagos. Svalheim has many lakes and moraines, legacies of the ice age, which ended about ten millennia ago.

The southern regions of Svalheim have a temperate climate; many of the northern region have an alpine tundra climate.

Svalheim is often characterized by common ethnocultural heritage and sometimes mutually intelligible languages. The term Svalheim in local usage normally covers the two major powers, Drachenstaat and Varenhold, though the latter is located geographically closer to the Nordesian archipelago.
