Eormengrund

Eormengrund is the world on which the Monster Hunter campaign takes place. Eormengrund is a round world with two large continents on it, one of which contains Murcia and the surrounding area and the other of which is unexplored across the Great Sea.

History
Eormengrund was created by the gods eons ago to serve as their home. As the world got more and more complex, the gods retreated to smaller parts of it or even to other planes, letting the world become overrun with creatures. Since the gods retreated, nations have sprung up across the Eastern Continent, while the Western Continent remains unexplored.

Originally thought to be flat, Eormengrund was proven to be round when a suicidal adventuring party led by Edgar the Depressed tried to sail off the edge of the planet and instead found themselves back where they had started.

Geography
Eormengrund is split into two continents with the Great Sea dividing them. The climate of Eormengrund is varied, with icy poles to the north and south and more tropical or desertous zones near the equator. Mountain ranges and rivers generally head north-south due to plate tectonics.

Inhabitants
Eormengrund was once inhabited nearly entirely by fae, but humanity's population has exploded in the past few centuries. Once relegated to a small tropical region in what is now South Murcia, humans have now expanded across the Known Continent, pushing the fair folk to the edges of society. Human-passing fae may be allowed to blend into human society, but the more monstrous races are forced to the wilderness and are often hunted out of fear.

Politics
The Known Continent is broken down currently into five nations. The human nation of Murcia takes up much of the western coast, while the Kingdom of the Mountain King borders it to the north. To the south lies the tropical nation of Isbad. Across the mountains and desert to the east lay the northern kingdom of Fairyland, considered a safe refuge for the fair folk, and to the south of that lays Carina, a fantasy land ruled by an unknown lion god whose human and fae inhabitants live at peace with each other.
