Jan Mayen

Jan Mayen is a large continent in the northern hemisphere of Tarshin. The Northern Marches divide the continent into a densely populated south west and a sparsely populated north east. All of the action so far has happened in the south west.

History
The continent history goes back to approximately 1000 B.A. [Before Ages] with the settlement of the first races [Dwarves and Wood Elves]. The First Age on Jan Mayen was characterized by the battles between the expansionism of the Dwarves and the insular preferences of elven communities. Humans, High Elves, Halflings, Orcs, Dragonborn and Tieflings arrive on the continent late in the First Age (~740 F.A.). Together these beings encompass the Second Races. The Second Races rose up at the end of the First Age to fragment and decimate the relatively unchecked Dwarves. The destruction of the dwarvish capital at Kormet by the Second Races in 790 F.A. begins the start of the Second Age. The Second Age is characterized by mostly human kingdoms fighting over small parts of Jan Mayen, the dwarves attempting to reclaim their glory days, and the elves attempting to hold on to their way of life.
