The southern continent, Daklha is the smaller of the two and is divided evenly into four countries. Except for the far northwest corner, it is mainly desert. Subject to torrential rains in the spring, this portion is covered in dense jungle (made up primarily of Apsu's Coat) that dries up to skeletal remains during the long dry seasons.
Due east of Abdha is Hamadan. It is doubly and triply blessed. Thanks to the rains of Abdha, a large river runs a winding course through Hamadan from west to east. Like the Nile it floods annually. Though the water is tainted at the source, it is filtered and purified by the limestone and the sand over which it must pass on its way to the eastern seaboard. Because of it its proximity to Pelopnos, Hamadan is considered the most refined country on the southern continent. Its engineers are unsurpassed in the all known world. Thus, Hamadan has developed an extensive irrigation system which allows the people to cultivate a vast territory, transforming the entire country into something of an oasis.
