'''Meropis''', the lost sister continent of [[Sapience]], is located in the southern [[Notic Ocean]]. Discovered during the Year 500 [[shiprace]], this giant landmass was split from Sapience long ago and lost to modern memory.

The continent of Meropis is bisected from north to south by the [[Vasnari Mountains|Vasnari]] mountain range, within which both the [[Mirror Caves]] and the mines of [[Iskadar]] may be found, and the highest known point of the land is the volcanic peak known as Mount Azedh.

On its northwest shores can be seen the northern scrublands where [[River Mnemosyne]] terminates and various duchies and principalities that survived the breaking of continents are still ruled by petty lords and chieftains.

Nearly one hundred years would pass before the discovery of [[Nicator's Crossing]] and the revealing of the continent's interior by intrepid rangers of the [[Fellowship of Explorers]]. | ||
