RPG stuff: Durine Continent
So here's the Players' Map to the continent where all the action takes place that came with the Mhar Fantasy RPG Gazetteer which gave a brief campaign history, essays on languages, races, currency, organizations, and trade, as well as overview of the kingdoms and regions of the continent.

what the map doesn't show here (though there is one in the archive a number of years back) that it is a small continent caught between a large oceananic plate to the east and a very large continental plate to the west that the island-continent is beginning to collide with as its being squeezed between the two plates. The western half is being scrunched up and pushed under its neighbor's plate while the continent is being pushed up over the oceanic plate. While not as geologically active some regions, there are a number of geological hot spots. For example a number of volcanoes and the remnants of volcanoes litter the western coast. One spot, called Nysae's Tower in the Broken Lands on the coast, is a large basalt plug that is reputed to be the home of a powerful Fey spirit called the StormQueen (her tower does sit upon it in Mhar's Fey realm). An isolated valley on the eastern border has a name that translates from the local language as the "Witch's Cauldron"; this is because the valley is littered with gysers and sulfur springs since it is atop of a magma hotspot which over the millennia has carved out the river basin that the Commune of Milos sits within (talk about sitting on the bullseye).
The western continent Solumn is home to the Empire of Drawnar, Odain (Deep Dwarves--Moria's people), the Grand Caliphate, the Ghat Kingdoms (where Esha's particular tribe came from), Harido (Mariko's home nation), and the Shenglu Empire.

the latter. I believe Greg said something about a huge belch of toxic gas killing entire villages in the area sometime in the past in the Gazetteer; it's certainly believed to be the haunt of witches, ghosts, and devils now.
I'm not sure but I think the hot spring resort is on one the islands to the west of Velogne

Another consequence btw of the presence of Solumn so close to the continent that the western straights have clashing currents that produce a large malestrum known as the Fellbore north of the isles along the western coast. This huge whirlpool is most active during the high and low tides as well as storms and is also an elemental node (which means you might run into water elementals there).
