Overview:
Well-known for its steep cliffs and roaring waterfalls, the southeastern continent of Yrineglen is home to the Faunfolk. The entirety of the continent lacks much color beyond varying shades of grey, tan, and brown, but it holds beauty in its uniqueness. Greenery is significantly limited, but there is an overabundance of stone and, as such, is of what many buildings are comprised. The majority of cities take residence at the very tops of cliffs, and some communities make their homes within the cliffs like caves. The Terra Firma Quarry is nestled between the Wildwind and Glimmerfort mountain ranges to the west, and spans several miles. Temperature is significantly warmer than the other three continents, with no true winter.
Government:
Commonwealth in design. Each ‘state’ in Yrineglen works together for the common good of one another. Trade goods are reserved first for the residents of the continent first, and any excess is used for export. Important decisions are put to a public vote where majority rules, and the government exists in such a manner to only carry out these decisions as the people wish.
Continent Lore:
Nothing substantial of note beyond the knowledge that each of the dominant races are presided over by a ruling government of their own kind.

Religion
Quietly theistic, the inhabitants of Yrineglen believe in the Wildmother and her Three to the point where, in the rare circumstance one of their kind is Magickborne, they send that individual to a temple of worship. There are four main temples, with one located within each state, and some smaller littered throughout the continent. They are devout, but not overzealous.
