Ogunde

A longitudinally large equatorial continent on Talus. Home to the Sol'dorei, Loxodon, Minotaur, Leonin, Tortolan, and an offshoot of humans.

Regions
Ufalme Injumaka - the northern grasslands, where the tribes of Ufalme live in relative harmony among mana-soaked land that provides bountiful life.

Saretti Desert - the northern region of Ogunde is a vast desert of sand and scrub, where very little life grows.

Drassu - the swampy jungles below the Kumbukumbu mountain range that eventually give way to wetlands, and then the Great South Sea.

Culture
The culture of the larger part of the continent is informed by traditions, ceremonies, and magic that has been faithfully passed down through generations, spanning all the way back to the Age of Artifice Arcanum. Before the Sundering Roar that shattered the world, the Ancients of Ogunde were able to secure their wisdom in relics that would persist long after they had passed on - but more importantly, they shared their knowledge with their people in the guise of holiday practices, songs, and monuments of art. This granted ancient Ogundeans community-wide protection from certain elements of the Age of Cold Dark that ravaged other continents across the world, and cemented many of these practices deep into Ogunde traditions that persist into the current day.

The resilience of Ogunde's overall condition throughout the Second Age allowed the various tribes of Ufalme Injumaka to recover first at the dawn of the Third Age, and Ogunde quickly developed a working system of transcontinental roads that allowed the tribes to more easily meet to trade, decide political matters, and mobilize warriors.

The Ancient Songs
One of the strongest traditions that survived were the many rituals the Ogundean Ancients crafted and taught to the general masses. The musical nature of the spellcraft made them accessible to all, and easy to teach and learn.
