Dragons reside to the east of these mountains, in tısum iqqol, where they speak Nasraqqor. To the east of the forest, near the center of the continent, is another human kingdom, Xictor. The eastern coast is where the Nokppoddarra live. The southern half of the continent is the Goromic region where the various descendants of Goromul are spoken. Somewhat off the coast of Dyrellion is an island where Odreli, a descendant of Dyrel, is spoken. | ||
