 It is to the west of the Triagia across the Endless Sea and to the east across the Sea of Tears, and it is not immediately clear from the literature which is the closer distance, suggesting that it is probably close to halfway around the globe in either direction.Politically, it has a collection of largely independent city-states which are spread out across the continent but form no overarching political system.It is first seen (called simply "The Southern Continent") in "A Darkness at Sethanon" where Pug and Tomas arrive there on a quest to the Halls of the Dead, to which there is an entrance from this continent (though living people usually do not venture there) and where the goddess Lims-Kragma judges the dead.
