The world of Aurah has five major continents, each separated from the other by a stretch of water. All the same, islands near to the various coasts have allowed many anthro nations to establish easy trade routes and link their respective continents through shipping lanes. It was even said that where the Excelsian Ocean now lies was a great and powerful nation linking all the northern continents that mysteriously sank... but that's another story.
Each continent has its own distinctive geographical features, culture and inhabitant species.
Borea is largest of Aurah's continents, straddling its south pole yet extending as far north as the edge of the tropics. A great ice-cap covers most of the centre of the continent, which gives way to tundra further north and then to coniferous forest and vast, grassy plains. Much of the coast of Borea extends along the Brahman Ocean and has a temperate climate. The Gulf of Shiran cuts a little further south between the Olian and Languan Peninsulae, which enjoy a slightly warmer, sub-tropical climate.
The lands of Borea have always shown great promise, but have been plagued by poverty, misrule and foreign interference for many years. The end of a long-standing distrust between Inanna and North Viola has now promised an end to this.
Most common species; gazelle, horse, bear, buffalo, tiger, cheetah, mammoth, rhinocerous
Chief Industries; timber, grain, agriculture, dairy produce, cotton, textiles, fishing, some heavy industry and shipbuilding
