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 Kloistan, Duamacia, Corumm and Metzetta. 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.
