Southern Ergoth Locations
Southern Ergoth is an island located west of Ansalon and south of Northern Ergoth that was created when the Cataclysm tore Ergoth in two. Southern Ergoth stretches about 250 miles from north to south. The major geographical features of Southern Ergoth are the Sirrion Sea that surrounds the island, the Straits of Algoni that separate it from Ansalon, Morgash Lake which is just north of the capital city of Daltigoth, the Last Gaard Mountains running down the center of Southern Ergoth with Foghaven Vale in the mountains, Harkun Bay on the southern coastline, Plains of Tothen located in the southwestern coastline, Plains of Kri on the southern coastline, and the River Ergot located in the northeast. Most of the central and eastern half of Southern Ergoth is a now a frozen wasteland.
Northern and Southern Ergoth both broke away from Ansalon during the Cataclysm and the two nations soon severed ties, formally destroying the old Empire of Ergoth.
In the years following the Cataclysm, Southern Ergoth has had a close working relationship with Northern Ergoth, trying to restore the Empire. Southern Ergoth has been ruled from Daltigoth by regents appointed by the Redic Dynasty. The forests of Southern Ergoth became the homeland for the Kagonesti Elves.
During the War of the Lance, the elves of Qualinesti and Silvanesti moved their people to Southern Ergoth to escape from the invading Dragonarmies. They enslaved the Kagonesti to build them cities while in exile. The Dragonarmies invaded Southern Ergoth and gained control over much of the island during the war.
