People

The mysterious continent of Emer is a place of legend among many races and as such is not represented on maps produced outside its shores. The name Emer appears in ancient scripts as the ancestral home of the Yrūn, who have given it many names over the ages. What is known is that at the end of the Third Age, Yrūn arrived in great numbers from the direction of Emer into the lands of Lyrast. The people that arrived spoke a common language (Eméric) and shared a common culture and religion from which all variations of Yrūni civilization have evolved. It is believed that most of these trappings were lost in the early part of the Fourth Age as Yrūn were influenced by the elder races they encountered in the world around them.

None of this should be taken as suggestion that no one remains on Emer. The Eméryr remain, but have no further contact with the outside world. Whether this is by choice, or some other effect, is not known.
