"The land of Andor stretches from ocean to ocean, centered along the equator, and is home to a diverse population of races and ways of life. A large mountain range bisects the continent horizontally, half-way between the equator, and the northern tip. The mountain chain is called the 'Dragon Back Mountains'. At the western end, the mountain chain splits into a 'Y'. The lower section veers to the south, and continues vertically toward the southern tip of the land-mass.
