Othana is a region embroiled in a long-standing cold war, a deep vein of mistrust runs between these two continents.

The Dwarven kingdom of Nor Daral holds a tight grasp in the west, their holy city of Hamam, hidden deep in the Mighty Basin is the reason they defend these lands so jealously. The pilgrimage from Bemoldur to Hamam is thier most ancient tradition and the key to gaining favor among the High Dwarves. With the aid of Human allies in Trence and Vlagos, the Gnomes of Toppingpoint and the roaming Goliath tribes in the Badraan Tropics, they have secured dominion over the region.

The Elven kingdom of Amallona, have become the wardens in the east. The Syvesari People are relative newcomers to the region, their cities of Gavalion and Mefanor are the western edge of a larger empire. Their exploration of the Wallthon Sea was cut short by Drow presence stemming from the underdark beneath the Saramal Jungle. The Syvesari rangers are well seasoned and pushed the Drow threat out of the Jungle into the sea. Sadly, this coincided with the first diplomatic mission sent from Nor Daral to Amallona. All the Dwarven delegates were cut down by the fleeing Drow, who stole their ship.

Fear and mistrust took control of the region, Dwarfs believing an alliance between the Drow and Syvelsari meant an imminent invasion was on the horizon. The Elves were scrambling as whispers reached Mefanor that the drow had established a new hold in the ruins of Turquoise Reef. The Syvesari rangers tried to send forces to end the Drow threat, but any action they took in the Garden Islands would enrage Nor Daral and plunge the region into full-scale war.
