Outlands

The Outlands are all those places, cities, regions, continents that exist beyond Templehelm. Truly everything, from the places that ring the Setlian Sea to far flung continents well beyond the Jurrian Ocean, is included in this classification. There are more Outlands closer to Templehelm because broader Ateon is largely hostile to life and civilization the further one gets from Templehelm. There are many, different theories as to why this is.

=Super-Regions of Ateon= This is a very artificial classification, geared towards an understanding of the Outlands from within Templehelm, but this perspective is helpful for understanding distance, shared place, and scale of parts of Ateon. By distance it is easy to understand that there are locations that exist within the Setlian Sea, that body of water that encircles Templehelm (at the very center). Beyond that, there are locations that exist along the coast of the Setlian Sea (which is, in fact, a lake) and further into the continent that encircles it. Beyond still that, the world grows significantly more hostile to life and so peoples are more distantly spread and less densely populated in areas that are termed the Wastes.

The Wastes
The land of Ateon is most densely populated and most accommodating to life around the Setlian Sea. As one delves deeper into the continent surrounding that sea, they eventually reach a point where civilization and life begins to dissipate and give way to a vast, wild, dangerous world. In the North and West, beyond the Cold North, Far East, Orci Desert, Tuskas Mesa, and Arcai Forest the separate regions eventually give way to a vast, immutable steppe / tundra / desert. No explorer has ever returned from a place beyond those wastes. To the South and East of Templehelm, beyond the Far East, the Great East, the Free Land, and the Arcai Forest there is a vast ocean called the Jurrian Ocean.

Jurrian Ocean
The Jurrian Ocean is exponentially larger than the Setlian Sea and, likely, could contain the whole of the supercontinent within which the Setlian is Situated (provided the landed wastes are not themselves infinite). Perhaps because the Jurrian is more traversable than the landed wastes, there have been several visitors from well within the Jurrian to come to Templehelm.

Ord
It is unknown where Ord is, however it is the home of the Vohl.
