User:Kukudush/Kara-Tur Overhaul

The large landmass of Kara-Tur (pronounced kah-rah-TOUR) lied east of Faerûn on Toril. Kara-Tur was bounded on the east by one of the westernmost regions of Faerûn, the Hordelands, which stretched for hundreds of miles. At the far South East of Kara-Tur lied the mysterious continent of Osse.

Trade, characters and artifacts occasionally arrived from Kara-Tur via the Golden Way, but beyond that there was little interaction between the continents.

Definition and boundaries
The continent of Kara-Tur stretched east from the line made by the Dragonwall, the eastern border of the Quoya Desert, and the first margins of forest on the western border of the Ama Basin, all the way to the Celestial Sea. Kara-Tur also extended its northeastern landmass into the Yellow Sea, forming a peninsula and an island chain that bore the nations of Wa, Koryo, and Kozakura, all included within the bounds of Kara-Tur. Kara-Tur’s northern landmass ended at the Eastern Sea to the east. From the northern border of the Northern Wastes, it stretched southward all the way to the Segara Sea and the Southern Ocean. In its southwest landmass, it was bounded by the Yehimal Range.

Though many preferred to think of the Hordelands as a sort of hinterland between Faerun and Kara-Tur, by point of technicality all of the Hordelands, including the eastern Plain of Horses were part of Faerun.
