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. Captain Zulah of The Krait and his shipmate Balynne Lokelinde Le'Murzen were the first Sapients to set foot upon its shores.

The continent of Meropis is bisected from north to south by the 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 terminus of a river delta, and further south, a deep bog can be made out through the mountaintops. Most of the Meropian interior is unexplored; travel is hindered by stormy seas and mountaintops that scrape the sky, and so the majority of the continent remains unknown.

During the month of Glacian, 506 AF, coastal storms triggered an avalanche in the northern Vasnaris, clearing the way to the Sarave Foothills and Daoric Plains to the east.
