It is, according to climate and biomes, the most varied continent, containing every single major biome type. At the present day, Evandorian anthropologists define it as being mostly divided in four large cultural spaces: the Chlouvānem one - whose [[Verse:Chlouvānem Inquisition|Inquisition]] covers a third or even half of the continent depending on definition, Greater Skyrdagor, the Nähärosphere (in the part of Márusúturon that is considered to be part of Evandor by countries such as Nivaren or Kalo), and the Dabuke cultural area straddling the geographical border with Védren. The steppe countries between the two inland seas are sometimes considered to be a distinct area, which, however, has historically had major influences first by the Nähärins, then by the Skyrdegans, and finally by the Chlouvānem. The area between the Skyrdegan Sea and Evandor (the Síluren mountains) is known locally as ''Eppilläinen'' ("the royal land") in Nähäri, and, in the form ''Eppillænan'', this toponym is in use also among the Chlouvānem (who, however, extend it as far south as the actual isthmus, which is Chlouvānem territory). Skyrdegan people call it ''Mog Yszegnuk'' (the Western Place), in ancient sources only applied to the coast but later extended all the way to Evandor (which, around a century ago, was also considered a part of ''Mog Yszegnuk''). | ||
