This page only forms a general introduction to the nations located on the southern half continent of Ebewar. For maps of Ebewar I refer to the Cartography section and for topics related to Ebewar alone I refer to the Encyclopedia section. For the description and nations of the northern half of Ebewar I refer to the Ebewar-North section.
Ebewar is the largest continent on Cancon although in the pure sense it is not true as most continents are connected through either the south or the north pole of Cancon. In a similar way Europe, Asia and Africa are also connected. But, when not accounting for the large masses of ice, Ebewar is truly the largest habitable continent. Especially when half of it is located around the equator. No other continent is located around the equator, although the small continent of Eytwar lies very near it and a number of islands too small to be named a continent can be found around the equator. From east to west, South-Ebewar has a length of over 5.100 kilometer. Only counting the main mass of Beo Chjad, South-Ebewar spans more than 3.100 kilometer from north to south.
The climate of Ebewar-South
The southern half of Ebewar is also the largest land on Cancon to be located around the equator, which makes most of its climate much warmer than elsewhere, being close to subtropical. This is not truly the case as the equator region experiences clear seasonal temperature changes due to the very elliptical orbit of the planet. As such, conditions are not stable enough to form something like a rainforest. Because of this I assume forests will be more normal, nothing like a jungle and mixed with trees that usually grow in higher latitudes.
As Ebewar-South lies around the equator the influence of the gulfstreams of the sea is not that great. The north-west and north-east do get a cold stream from the north which tempers their moderate climate. There is also a cold stream from the east of Miewar, but I reckon this influence to be weaker as the warm stream from the equatorial east reaches it between Miewar and Ebewar. In the west the warm stream from Eytwar makes the climate in the south-west of Ebewar even warmer.
The geography of Ebewar-South
Very roughly, Ebewar can be divided into four parts. The main part is formed by the west and the south. Lying around the equator and next to the sea with large fertile lands and big rivers, the climate is ideal. Civilization is high here, the people fairly numerous and most people live a good life. These are also mostly Segai lands, habited and developed many thousands of years ago. Only in the southwest there live Chui and in the north along the Vaye river Orai have mingled with the local people.
The second part is the central area of Ebewar which is called the Narek Algoi. This is a huge area, lying mostly within mountains and consistings mostly of vast dry plains. Some places are almost deserts, but spread out still some grass and plants grow. The Narek Algoi is populated by a number of nomadic people who raid the neighboring lands. They are grouped among the seven Hordes of Narek Algoi.
The third part is the east. It's the area which has the most variation in population. In the rough highlands of the north live the clans of the Aronai. As the highlands are located on a more northern latitude, winters get fairly cold and life in the highlands can sometimes be considered harsh. In the middle are a number of nations located of the civilized Segai around several great rivers that flow from the mountains in the west. Like it's eastern counterpart, the climate here is ideal and the land fertile. In the south live Chui, in a much more unified but self-centered culture. Conditions here are quite similar to the lands in the middle.
The fourth part is the north and for the greater part occupied by Orai or related people. The climate is still fairly good here, but less easy as around the equator. The people are not very unified and there are lots of variations in traditions, rules and customs. The land is fairly hilly and contains some small stretches of mountains, increasing as such when going further north.
