Located in the deep South of the Western continent, Voldas can be considered two countries in one. The northernmost half is hottest as it sits closest to the equator. Few settlements can be found here and only the most hardened nomadic tribes have managed to make a living in the desert. Shielded from the blistering heat by a sweeping mountain range, the southern half of the country hosts few farmlands. There is no single recognized capital, though each of the four largest cities (Tallis, Memosa, Mirril, Arelis) certainly considers itself the most important. Most people visiting Voldas only have business with the South and tend to avoid crossing the arid northern border if they can avoid it. The Voldans holds little sway or interest in the affairs of the desert north which has become a safehaven for criminals laying low.
