Kladene

Kladene is a peninsular continent in the northern hemisphere of the planet Alta. It is believed to have gotten its name from the ancient Kaberi, who called it "Kratinu".

Geography
Kladene is a peninsular continent with several smaller peninsulas protruding from it, as well as many islands surrounding it.

In the north is a peninsula known as Norn or Nordica. The central and western regions of this peninsula are home to vast mountain ranges and fjords, and several lakes dot the peninsula. These regions have generally lower temperatures than the southern mainland. In the year 822 AM, it is divided into various small kingdoms and tribes. After 840, it is entirely under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Norn.

In the west there lies two other peninsulas, though both end fairly close to the mainland. The northern peninsula is called Tala, and is mostly made up of hilly or flat terrain, though there are some mountains to be found, especially in the east. In the year 822 AM, it is entirely within the boundaries of the Kingdom of Corsony.

The southern peninsula is called Apania, and is also mostly hilly or flat. However, the climate is noticeably warmer, and in some places, the environment is quite dry. In the year 822 AM, the region belongs to the Kingdom of Apania.

East of Apania lies the bay of Samina, which contains several clusters of islands, particularly those that make up the city of Capria, some of which being artificial. The region is divided between a multitude of polities, most notably the Serene Republic of Capria and the Vantian Dominate.

To the east of Samina and over a small stretch of land, there is a large inlet known as the Barullian Sea, and the lands around it are known as Barullia. The region is mostly controlled by the Vantian Dominate, with some northern regions being controlled by the Second Empire of Kladene.

To the north, in the heart of Kladene, is Borea, otherwise known as the Midlands. It is home to several mountain ranges and major rivers, such as the Brun and the Mitte. Its border with Tala is marked by the West Marsh, which stretches for the majority of the border between the Tala/Apania region and the rest of Kladene. The northern coast of Borea includes the small peninsula of Engen, as well as the Stelre Bay, and plenty of coastline. Depending on where one considers Borea to end and the rest of Kladene to begin, the Second Empire of Kladene controls most or all of Borea.
