Ephisus

Ephisus is one of the six major continents of Velos. It holds four powerful major nations: the Rosalli Terran Republic, the Ossyrian Empire, the Queendom of Sinosia, and the newer nation of Sylvaria.

Geography
The continent is separated into west and east by the mountain range, called the Spine Torrent Mountains, that splits the continent through the center. In the western half lies the Rosalli Terran Republic and Sylvaria, while the eastern half holds the Ossyrian Empire and Sinosian Queendom. In the southern quarter of the continent exists a massive jungle called the Gatuuma Jungle.

Nations
The northwestern nation is called the Rosalli Terran Republic, a nation formed from the original coalition of the dwarves, halflings, and gnomes of the region. It would later include the humans and dragonborns of the region as well. The history of the nation involved the Terrans tearing down any societies that opposes them, and assimilate or exile those who did. Driving out most of the "monstrous" people, as well as the elves that lived in their borders, they rule supreme. As of 3550 Post Divine Exodus (PDE), the capital of Unity, which resides on All Keeps Island, have disappeared. With the disappearance of the island and the capital, the central government of the Republic was gone, and in its place, several newer organizations and kingdoms have come from the ashes. Old nations such as the small region of Alucia, ruled by their Queen Cyrell Goldfeather, as well as newer ones like the Confederacy of Free City States.

The northeastern nation is named the Ossyrian Empire, ruled by the noble King Prometheus Valador.

The western nation of Sylvaria seemed to have sprung from existence from the Faewild fairly recently, around 3500 PDE.

The eastern nation of Sinosia is ruled by a dynasty of a drow family that have battled the Ossyrians for centuries.
