Far West
Nor Sereen
Nor Sereen — "Northern Beauty" in Ancient Nirah — is a continent of stark contrasts. Its northern reaches are defined by harsh winters, sparse populations, and deep mining communities sitting atop some of the richest metal veins in the world. The south is altogether different: agricultural, maritime, and outward-facing, with port access that makes it the continent's primary diplomatic interface.
Infrastructure has never caught up with resource wealth. Raw material exports flow almost entirely to Vel Thorn, which has made Nor Sereen prosperous but dependent. Among its more distinctive institutions is the OSRR — the Office of Strata Survey and Resonance — believed to operate out of Pralao, a neoclassical nation with a long tradition of academic and scientific culture.
