The Terisian Isles or Lost Continent are a group of continents and small islands formed after the Ice Age meltdown flooded much of Terisiare.

Geography

The original continent surrounded by the Shielded Sea has been broken up into smaller islands. The Sea of Laments now lies in the middle of the old continent. To the west lie the Ilesemare Sea and the Endless Sea and Otaria, to the northeast lie the Videnthian Sea and Greater Videnth, to the east lies the Visceral Sea, and to the south the Shielded Sea and the continent of Sarpadia. Across the Visceral Sea, the Domains lie six thousand miles east.
