⚫ | Little is known about the mainland outside of its interactions with the residents of the [[Eelakin Islands]]. The [[Eelakin]] people were once simple wayfinders. Over time, the islands were "tamed" and their society has become industrialized (with the notable exception of [[trapper]]s who still live in the [[Pantheon]]).

⚫ | The mainland's natural resources appear to differ from those of the Eelakin Islands and the Pantheon. Food on the mainland is more plentiful than it is on the Pantheon; even trappers occasionally visit the mainland seeking provisions and supplies. The mainland also has animal species that differ from those found on the islands; [[Vathi]] was able to immediately identify [[Sak]] as a mainlander bird.{{book ref|sixth}} |
