The Domains existed of the contients of [[Aerona]] and a vast chains of islands called the [[Spice Isles]] that extended far north, west and east of Aerona. To the west these islands reached to [[Terisiare]], to the north they reached to the unnamed north polar continent of Dominaria. Its unclear how far they reached to the east. Either they reached to the [[Burning Isles]], or those islands are part of the Spice Isles themselves. In the later case the island chain reached almost to [[Jamuraa]]. Aerona exists of 3 sub-continents. [[Icehaven]] is split from the two others by a small sea called [[the Rip]]. The other two are only known as North- and South-Aerona and are connected by a small sliver of land on which [[Hurloon]] is located.

The Seas of the Domains

The Domains also contain several seas which are notorious for the inconsistencies in descriptions of different geographers. While on one map the Voda Sea is very small and contains only several isles, on another map it stretches so far it contains almost all the eastern Spice Isles. The latter is also depicted on the map that is considered to be the most accurate.[4][5] Another example is the Honeyed Sea which is (mistakenly) located east of Avenant on one map, but south of the Green Lands on another. This waterbody is absent on the mentioned map.
