Alshar is a continent and geographic region located in the Eastern Hemisphere of the globe. Alshar is bound to the south by the Pukhthun Sea, the Sea of Capelan to the north, the Ocean of Cathay to the east and the Audonian landmass and the Levantine Sea to the west. Through millenia of habitation it has been home to many empires and expansive civilizations. It is the second most populated continent and the third largest by total landmass.
It is divided into thirteen sovereign states with the most notable being Corumm, Metzetta, Huoxia and Tashi-Daypa. Two Levantine states are in possession of colonial holdings namely the Fiannrian territory of Soirwind and various islands owned by Burgundie in the continent's periphery. Central and south eastern Alshar are much more densely populated than the northern regions which are for the most part, endless grassland and steppes.
Etymology
The continent has several widely used names. The most commonly used, "Alshar", descends from the Arabic word الشرق (lit. "east", "alshrq"). The term is thought to have originated with Occidental explorers being sent to the continent east of Audonia, referred to by the explorers simply as the "eastern land".
