As of AA 1444 the sub-continent of Western Cannor contains the most developed and heavily peopled regions of the continent of Cannor. Boundaries stretch from Businor in the south to the Alenic Frontier in the north, from Lencenor and the Dragon Coast in the west to the Forlorn Vale and The Borders in the east.
Major powers at this time are the Empire of Anbennar, the Kingdom of Gawed, and the Kingdom of Lorent. Former powers local to the area include the Damerian Republic, the Kingdom of Dameria, and the Gnomish Hierarchy. Both Castanor and Black Castanor strove to control the area in the past, and the long history of conflict has left indelible marks on the cultures, politics, and peoples of the area.
