A variety of [[race]]s call Elanith home: [[Human]], [[Giantman]], [[Elf]], [[Half-Elf]], [[Dark Elf]], [[Sylvankind]], [[Dwarf]], [[Halfling]], [[Forest Gnome]], and [[Burghal Gnome]]. Other races are recently arrived on the continent: [[Half-Krolvin]], [[Aelotoi]], and [[Erithian]].

==Lands of Adventure==

{{Elanith clickable map}}

The great continent of '''Elanith''' is fraught with dangers known and unknown. Wild beasts, ferocious monsters and terrors unnamed wander the lands. However, many strongholds and safehavens have made a stand against the chaos and have prospered. Most young adventurers get their start within the harbor town of [[Wehnimer's Landing]], the Halfling town of [[Icemule Trace]] or the Elven city of [[Ta'Vaalor]]. Many other towns exist for travel, trade and exploration, including the mining town of [[Kharam Dzu]] on Teras Isle, the free port of [[Solhaven]], the town of [[River's Rest]], and the [[Pinefar Trading Post]] far to the north. For those that dare to cross the great [[DragonSpine]] mountain range, the Dwarven city of [[Zul Logoth]] provides an unlikely resting spot along the Locksmehr Trail which leads to the great city of [[Ta'Illistim]] and the hamlet of [[Sylvarraend]], each part of the magical Elven Nations.

Also of interest are the [[Lysierian Hills]] region, the [[Dragonsclaw Mountains]] and the elusive [[Mysterious Realms]].

==Behind the Scenes==
Several very old stories and [[NPC]]s refer to the continent as [[Jontara]], with "Elanith" meaning instead only the [[Darkstone Bay]] region. In 2020, Jontara was re-defined as a continental region which includes continents Elanith, [[Atan Irith]], and the [[Shattered Continent]]. Elanith is also a substitute word for Quellburn, a ruined [[ICE age|I.C.E. Age]] city on the [[High Plateau]]. There was also a [[Kingdom of Elanith]] (perhaps loosely based on Quellburn) in the [[River's Rest]] region a thousand years ago. Thus, Elanith actually has four meanings, but usually implies the continent.
