Geography of Ophaelon
Firsthand reports of Ophaelon's geography are limited only to its westermost extremes. Visitors from Rok chronicled a coastline with a subtropical climate and several large cities. Further east, the green coastlines gave way to an expansive, arid desert known as the War-Kai. The furthest into the continent any from Rok have ventured came during a military expedition during the First Pelorite Crusade, when Rok forces were repelled at the Jai Whitecap mountains.

Politics of Ophaelon
Ophaelon politics appear to be dominated by the Gumjassi, an empire that covers most of the explored continent. The Gumjassi are led by the Chanwook family, a family that never officially declared war against Rok even during the First Pelorite Crusade.

Even in areas technically under the control of the Gumjassi, the imperial forces often skirmish with local tribes. Such tribes are typically nomadic, though some settled nations have resisted Gumjassi domination.

Ophaelon Technology
Compared to Rok, Ophaelon is several generations ahead in terms of technology. Whereas magic is demonized and used ritualistically on the western continent, the Gumjassi empire harnesses those same forces in a much more scientific fashion. The effects of this focus can be seen in their transit, architecture, and military might, as the easy defeat of Rok in the First Pelorite Crusade demonstrated.
