The Forbidden Realms

Beyond the Sea of Dust and the goblin-kin infested eastern plains begins the so-called Silk Bridge. This is a land bridge which connects the legendary Forbidden Realms, also known as the Silk Lands, to the main continent.
The Silk Bridge is home to fabulous merchant cities, each protected by great walls, each ruled by its king or merchant prince.
Technically speaking, however, this land bridge is only a peninsula since the border to the Forbidden Realms is formed by a giant canal - over 1000 feet across - which cuts straight through the land bridge from north to south and so blocks all unwanted travel farther east.
