The Eastern Desolation.
This is what the people living west of the Sea of Fallen Stars in the Hartland Region call the countries along the eastern coast of the Sea of Fallen Stars.
For the people here, the Far East is mysterious and exotic, a land full of unpredictability, dangerous magic, and unknown wealth.
The 'Desolation' refers to the arduous journey from Hartland to here. Although the two places are connected by land, it is an impossible task for ordinary people. To the north, one must traverse countless rugged mountains, and to the south, one must pass through ancient empires ruled by powerful Exotic Divine Empires.
The most convenient way is to sail across the entire Sea of Fallen Stars, but pirates run rampant on the water's surface, and ancient underwater empires and countless terrifying monsters lurk below. Every departure from the shore is a gamble with life.
