Classical Isles

The Classical Isles are a group of about 60,000 smaller and 13 larger islands off the western coast of the Eastern continent and the northern coast of the Southern continent. Culturally they tend to be regarded as their own continent and the western shores of the Eastern Continent are strongly associated with them culturally.

The westernmost of the major Classical Isles is called Albes and, along with some nearby isles, makes up the Auld Countries. Western civilization began on the isle of Giraz, located just west of the Eastern Continent across a straight and about four hundred miles north of the northeastern corner of the Southern Continent.
