Eldham

Eldham also known as New Rathnir, or the New World is a continent located across the ocean East of Plagos in Rathnir. Eldham was discovered by Athaz the Traveler around the 25 May 2021. Eldham stands out from Rathnir with its exclusive geographical features creating a unique environment to live and navigate through. Eldham is filled with different cultures that span hundreds and thousands of years and creatures and species of animal that were once concealed to Rathnir before Athaz The Traveler's great discovery. The discovery of Eldham brought many new trade routes, cultures, resources and religion however it also brought war, death and suffering to the once quiet and peaceful lands.

Etymology
Eldham is the most commonly used name that the continent has been referred to after the mass migration from Rathnir. Nations and politically powerful figures were invited to a summit hosted by the United Nations of Eldham, and the name Eldham was what was voted upon by the powerful Rathnir immigrants out of the many submissions. The second most popular naming option that was not voted in was Semrus.

In the wake of its mass migration, before the name Eldham was decided upon, it was often refered to as the New World or New Rathnir. The name Eldham comes from the old Paxian language, meaning "String Board" ['elðəm]. Various languages, local and foreign, have regional names for Eldham. In the Aurlûnoren language, it is named Sinawendor. In the Lo'Oi language, it is called Éldoxo'O. The Regnum Drakaes refers to it as Drysjian. The Niedene, who claimed to have known of Eldham's existence long before the mass migration referred to it as the Aldurei in old Akere. The Republic of Valore refers to it as Dsæi, translating to "Home" or "Motherland". The United Nations of Eldham also decided that the endonym of a person living on Eldham was to be officially known as an "Eldhamite".

Geography & Features
Eldham is approximately the same size as Rathnir, both being around two hundred and twenty five square kilometres in area which is fifteen thousand meters by fifteen thousand meters. Though it shares the same size and biome variety, the vegetation is very different than Rathnir's. Many of the trees are larger and the grass produces more of a bright coloured pigment called chlorophyll (Which overall makes the grass more green and vibrant in colour). Unlike the regions of Rathnir, Eldham's landmasses are stringy with few large conglomerations of landmasses. Many of the rivers in Eldham are known for flowing under the ground in many locations and the United Nations Of Eldham' s prevailing theory as to why this happens is that an extinct race of large, semiaquatic ground sloths like Gigantofossor paneldhami dug the tunnels to connect the rivers in which they lived. The presence of claw marks on the river caves and the abundance of Gigantofossor paneldhami fossils in the rivers seem to support this theory though the United Nations Of Eldham has no confirmed answer.
