The Lein

The world in which Teren Maseda resides is known as the Lein. It is the plane of order, in which men and beasts reside. Its twin, the Cynn, is a plane of disorder, in which magic thrives.

There are eight regions that are considered habitable by men in the Lein: Teren Maseda, Criya, Erebos, Xhalost, Foglin, Pathoscaria, Greer, and Tarhiel.

Teren Maseda
Teren Maseda is a large desert continent with a massive saltwater lake in the center. Its climate is typically dry and hot, with seasonal rains flooding the central region. It is the homeland of gnolls, and the current residence of the gods Quill and Hector.

Criya
Criya is a series of volcanic islands carpeted by thick jungle. The region is hot and humid, with sporadic rainshowers and little snow. Most tabaxi are born and raised here, and few travel beyond their homeland.

Erebos
Erebos is a large region split into two continents connected by a land bridge. The eastern continent is composed mostly of a sweeping grassland and deciduous woods, while the west is mountainous and covered in thick pine forests. In the southern tip, the god Heuroch lives in the fortress city of Homestead. It is here that the largest population of minotaurs resides.

Xhalost
Xhalost appears to be a great forest, dotted with thick marshes. Much of the region is unmapped, as only a peninsula is still connected to the Cynn. Rain is a constant, a blanket of clouds cast off from the storms of Tarhiel in the north. Xhalost is the homeland of halflings, hardy folk who are accustomed to battling the wilds.

Tarhiel
Tarhiel is a region beyond Xhalost, a carpet of hills and mountains reaching up from the surrounding forests. The weather is erratic, with strong winds bringing sweeping thunderstorms. To the far east of the region is a bay that is constantly racked with storms. Orcs and dwarves carve out their homes among the mountains.

Foglin
Foglin is a snowy and cold continent. Along the coast is a sparse tundra, but deeper within is an ever-snowy taiga forest. Foglin is the birthplace of the dragonborn, and the god Leyer makes his home in a temple on the highest peak of the mountain range.

Pathoscaria
Pathoscaria is a vast archipelago, with dozens of islands scattered within the bay of a long snaking landmass to the east. The race known as gnomes are believed to have originated in Pathoscaria, and the region is primarily populated by the seafaring folk.
