A sprawling continent of contrasts, Mythenis lies to the far south and west of the hemisphere, a mountainous heartland sprouting numerous peninsulas and countless strings of islands. The shores along the north are amazingly temperate for the latitude, while the southern regions are blanketed with snow throughout most of the year. Mythenis is also subjected to considerable volcanism; clouds of ash are not uncommon in the eastern regions. Earthquakes too are chronic: the Mytherian mountain range is along a major fault line and grinds against the south polar plate with alarming frequency.
