{{Unreferenced}} '''Khorvaire''' is the primary continent of the world of [[Eberron]]. Most of the published material for the Eberron [[campaign setting]] concerns Khorvaire and its residents. ==Geography== Khorvaire is found in Eberron's northern hemisphere. It is bounded by the [[Bitter Sea]] to the north, the [[Lhazaar Sea]] to the west, the [[Barren Sea]] to the west, and the [[Thunder Sea]] to the south. The landscape of Khorvaire varies greatly, from wastelands and forbidding mountains in the north to deserts and jungles in the south, with everything in between. ===Nations and Regions=== Khorvaire is a large continent with many nations and autonomous regions. The borders of many of these areas are disputed, despite having been determined in the [[Treaty of Thronehold]]. The major nations and regions of Khorvaire are: * [[Aundair]] * [[Breland]] * [[Darguun]] * The [[Demon Wastes]] * [[Droaam]] * The [[Eldeen Reaches]] * [[Karrnath]] * The [[Lhazaar Principalities]] * The [[Mournland]], once [[Cyre]] * The [[Mror Holds]] * [[Q'barra]] * The [[Shadow Marches]] * The [[Talenta Plains]] * [[Thrane]] * [[Valenar]] * [[Zilargo]] ==Races and Cultures== Many races make Khorvaire their home. The continent's largest cities are melting pots of many different species and cultures. ===Humans=== [[Human]]s are actually not native to Khorvaire, having emmigrated from the continent of [[Sarlona]] thousands of years ago. However, since then they have come to dominate the continent, both in numbers and power. Humans founded the [[Five Nations]], and most of them still live in those areas.The largest human populations are in [[Aundair]], [[Breland]], [[Karrnath]], the [[Lhazaar Principalities]], and [[Thrane]]. ===Dwarves=== [[Dwarf|Dwarves]] are native to the [[Mror Holds]]. The largest dwarven settlements are there, but they can be found throughout the continent. ===Elves=== [[Elf|Elves]] are not native to Khorvaire, either. There are three distinct cultural groups of elves that can be found on Khorvaire: * The [[Aerenal]] elves come from the island subcontinent of the same name. Their are no large settlements of Aerenal elves in Khorvaire, but they can be found in nearly every major city. * The [[Valenar]] elves, or [[Tairnadal]], have their home in the nation of Valenar. Valenar used to be a part of [[Cyre]], but it was conquered by elven mercenaries during the [[Last War]]. * The members of the elven [[Dragonmarked Houses]] ([[Phiarlan]] and [[Thuranni]]) can be found throughout the continent, especially in cities that have Phiarlan or Thuranny enclaves. ===Gnomes=== Gnomes are native to [[Zilargo]], and can be found throughout the continent. ===Goblinoids=== [[Goblin]]s, [[hobgoblin]]s, and [[bugbear]]s once ruled most of Khorvaire, before human settlement. Though only ruins remain of most of their empire, some are attempting to rebuild it in [[Darguun]]. Much like Valenar, Darguun was once part of Cyre, before it was captured by hobgoblin mercenaries in the [[Last War]]. Many [[goblinoids]] can also be found in the nation of Droaam. Goblins exist as an impoverished underclass in many human cities. Aslo, hobgoblins and bugbears employed as mecenaries by [[House Deneith]] are common in conflict across the continent. ===Half-Elves (Khoravar)=== [[Half-elf|Half-elves]] are common in Khorvaire as a distinct race, called the [[Khoravar]]. Most are descendents of elves who came to the continent with the elven [[Dragonmarked Houses]]. Many Khoravar are associated with the half-elven Houses, [[Medani]] and [[Lyrandar]]. Due to their association with House Lyrandar, Khoravar can be found nearly everywhere in Khorvaire. Half-elves who are the children of human/elf couples are far less common, but they can be found in places with large human and elven populations. ===Halflings=== [[Halfling]]s are native to the [[Talenta Plains]]. The halflings that live there have a very traditional, nomadic, tribal lifestyle. Halflings who have migrated to large cities tend to be more cosmopolitan and human-like culturally. ===Orcs and Half-Orcs=== [[Orc]]s and their progeny, the [[half-orc]]s, have inhabited the western part of Khorvaire for millenia. They can be found throughout the regions there, primarily in the [[Shadow Marches]], the [[Demon Wastes]], and [[Droaam]]. [[Category:Eberron]]
