Keris is a continent located entirely in the Northern Hemisphere and across the border between the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. Keris is composed of five major islands as well as hundreds of smaller islands which surround them. It has a total area of approximately 6,150,000 km², the majority of which is accounted for by the Kerissian mainland, the largest of the continent's five major islands. Keris is divided politically into four different sovereign states: Dolgava, Egelion, New Endralon and Trigunia.

History

Throughout Kerissian history, there have been multiple attempts to unite the continent under the rule of a single government. Most have failed because of the ethnic, religious and linguistic divisions which split the continent. On the eastern coast, the Egelian and Caillean people are dominant groups. Alongside the Kizenian people, the comprise a broader group of people who speak Selucic languages and are associated with the Aurorian Patriarchal Church. In spite of this, the UKSR was able to control most of the continent with the exception of the modern territory of Egelion. In addition, the Kerisian Union is a supra-national entity which sought cooperation between independent Kerissian states.
