Kordan is one of three large islands linked together by an ancient and
poorly understood portal system.  It is home to two major cities, with
Naphtali on the eastern coast and Indira near the western edge.  Each
city is built around one of the ancient portals.

Kordan's climate is colder than that of Sloe, with dark forests on
its southern half and cooler hilly terrain on the north. In the island's
interior are thick forests and peat lands. Its seldom-explored
southwestern coast is said to be very scenic and hosts the Westering
Isles's only sand dunes. Several smaller islands can be found adjacent
to Kordan, forming a minor archipelago.

Gnomes have colonies established on Kordan that operate independently from
the human feudal governments of Indira and Naphtali. This includes the
Grumditch and Kentwig copper mine, which supplies most of the metal for
the settlements on Kordan, as well as Sloe. Lodes of iron ore are
sometimes recovered from outcroppings in the island's interior as well.

The island of Sloe is located somewhere to the west of Kordan.  Archais
is located somewhere to the east.  Kordan was first settled by explorers
from the island Archais when the portal in Gad's Landing was discovered.

All three islands are known to be west of the main continent of Alter
Aeon, Atmir, and Kordan is the centermost of these.  The exact location
of any of the islands remains undetermined - no ship sailing west from
the mainland has ever found any of the islands, while ships sailing from
the islands have never found any other island or the mainland.  The
distances between the islands appear to be so great that even magical
location spells are only able to provide an approximate direction, and
give no hint as to distance beyond "really, really far away".

The island of Kordan is suitable for levels 10 through 20.
