Transionia is a region defined by its relation to the [[Ionian Mountains]], being a relatively narrow valley region east of those mountains which had historically made up [[Urcea]]'s eastern border. Unlike the gentle upward slope of the western Ionians that results in the [[Ionian Plateau]], the eastern end of the Ionians drop off sharply. Accordingly, the Transionia is bordered by a dramatic Ionian escarpment to the west and the Urcean border to the east, which is defined primarily by a series of rivers. To the north, Transionia is bordered by [[Ænglasmarch]] and to the south by [[Gassavelia]]; the borders between these regions and Transionia are mostly historical and traditional rather than anchored by any specific geographic feature. Transionia has no one center of population; unlike Urcea's other regions, it exhibits relatively uniform population density. In terms of climate, northern Transionia has a {{wp|humid continental}} climate similar to [[Carolina]] and [[Ænglasmarch]], whereas southern Transionia is dry and {{wp|semiarid}} similar to the [[Urcean frontier]]. | Transionia is a region defined by its relation to the [[Ionian Mountains]], being a relatively narrow valley region east of those mountains which had historically made up [[Urcea]]'s eastern border.
