Almaaz is one of the five main continents of the Terisian Isles.

After the Ice Age, it became one of the five main Terisian Isles. It is located east of Lat-Nam, south of Gulmany and west of Yavimaya and New Argive.[1] It is bordered by the South Sea, the Sea of Almaaz in the north and the Sea of Laments in the east.[2]

After the Ice Age, the kingdom of Almaaz was refounded on the continent.[3] By that time, Terisiare was broken up into several islands.

  3. ↑ Not much is known about it, but the following blurb about dating systems reveals that Almaaz was around after 3000 A.R.: The third dating system is the centralized Common Era (CE). This dating system is used on Almaaz, the oldest surviving Terisian nation (having existed for over 4000 years west of Argive). Common Era’s 0 dating is around 3000 AR or so-making it a very modern calendar. Indeed, Common Era was established by the New Sumifans, the current culture reigning over Almaaz.
