Granheim

Granheim is a continent located entirely in the western hemisphere of Arpeia. It is the third largest continent on the planet, and the second most populous. The continent is bordered to the north by the Soldak Ocean and meets the Makiric and Bolic Oceans at its eastern and western seaboards.

Granheim was first settled in prehistoric times, long before the Great Collapse. Although home to an array of different cultures and languages, Granheim only hosts 10 sovereign nations due to a long history of conflict. Major tensions on the continent only ended in the 20th century with the conclusion of the Second Continental War, although the war did not dissipate all existing conflicts.

Etymology
The name Granheim comes from Old High Granish, in which "gran" and "heim" meant "great" and "home" respectively. The first recorded usage of the name was in an encyclopedic book that dates back nearly 4,000 years. It is believed by historians that the name referred to the entire continent, although some argue that only lands south of the Granish Divide were encompassed. Nevertheless, modern usage of the name refers to the entire continent, regardless of regional divisions.
