Davania is the huge Continent in the South of the planet. I thought it would be interesting to look at Davania as a possible setting during the Blackmoor Era. For this purpose I have borrowed alot of ideas from Consult for exact location of the various realms.

Evergrun, Empire of
The very south of that continent is covered by a massive cold temperate forest, which hides the Legendary Kingdoms of Evergrun. At this time the Massive Evergrun Forest is inhabited by elves, faeries and all sorts of sylvan races, many of which no longer exist, as well as numerous Ancient Treants. The Elves were created by Ordana, the Forest Mother, some say by purging Yuan-Ti of their serpent blood. The childhood of the elves is long since over and they have now made contact with many of the other races of the continent. Many have also travelled to other continents including a several clans who have left for Skothar and now live within the Thonian Empire and Blackmoor.

Golden Empire
The lands around the Brasol mountains form the heartlands of the Golden Empire, a federation of Kingdoms dominated by Metallic Dragons and Enduks. The Enduks are followers of Ixion. Their relationship with the Enduks who later appear on the Immortal’s arm is unclear. The Dragons are creatures from another world, called to Mystara by Odin as allies for the Enduks in their struggle against the Draconic Empire of Brun. The Hin Kingdoms are under the protection of the Metallic Empire as are a large number of Oltecs from Brun who are on friendly terms with the Metallic Empire. Gold Dragons are the dominant dragon race, but Silver, Bronze and other Metallic Dragons also exist in this age.

Grunland, Kingdom of
The Elven Civilization also stretches north into the jungles of Pelatan, known as the Kingdom of Grunland, which is considered a colony of Evergrun. This is the Kingdom that eventually will give birth to Ilsundal and his followers who will lead the great migration to Brun in a later age. The elves who later make contact with Blackmoor are the ones who will become the Blacklore Elves. It is unclear what relationship these elves have with the Cumasti.

Hin Kingdoms
Several small Hin Kingdoms are found between the rivers just west of the Brasol Mountains. They are under the protection of the Golden Empire, and the Metallic Dragons have a strong influence on the Hin. The Halflings also have a good relationship with the Elves of Evergrun and its colonies.

The Serpentine Empire
Once the main servitor race of the terrible Carnifex, the Serpent Men grew to form a powerful Empire on Davania, through the domination of other scaled races. At this time, the Empire is way beyond its golden age and has grown weaker than in the past, corrupt and xenophobic. The Lizardman and Naga Kingdoms are slowly beginning to break away from their old masters.

Lizardman Kingdoms
Several Lizardman Kingdoms exits in Davania. Many of these are along the eastern Coast of Davania. These are now under the control of the Serpentine Empire. Many Lizardmen, unwilling to serve the tyranny of the Serpentine Empire serve as slaves of the Hin and the Golden Empire.

Naga Kingdoms
Some Naga Kingdoms on the northeastern coast are under domination of the Serpentine Empire. Serpentine Empire The East is dominated by the Serpentine Empire, the ancient nation of the Serpent Men, once created as servitors of the Carnifex. Their heartlands, is the Forest of Ka in the northeast of Davania. The Serpentine empier has regained its dominance over many of the younger Lizardman and Naga Kingdoms, although independent Naga Kingdoms exist on the Cestian Peninsula. The Serpentine Empire is no longer as expansionistic as it has been in previous periods, and have much less contact with other races than in the past, but their forest kingdom contains many dark secrets still…

An earlier draft of this material .

I have been toying with the idea of having the Serpetine Empire have agents in the southern parts of Thonia. It seems like that might be within their reach. :twisted:
