Trislan is the three-pointed landmass and the islands on its western coasts, and where its name came from "The Three Lands". It has a Human majority, and a minority of Half-Giants, Dullahans, Dwarves, and Elves. It is one of the largest regions of Yhril, and its climates can be warm, but also can be unexpectedly chilly. Trislan possesses the western trade hubs of Yhril, due to their vast coastlines, ports and being within the intersections of trade routes from across the world, and their proximity near Libertalia and parallel to Lemuria in the south. Many of its nations are seafaring and were the birthplace of intercontinental empires in the past. They rival the region of Centory in their economy alone.
Before the Fracturing of Yhril, Trislan was a part of the greater continent of Yhril. In its ancient past, its empires had sailed westward and conquered portions of Libertalia decades after the exile of the Eight Dukes, who had settled there earlier. The armies of ancient Trislan battled with the Satyrs for centuries, before conquering two-thirds of the continent. Inevitably, their colonies fractured after centuries because of the continent of Yhril sinking, and because of the First and Second Upheavals of Libertalia.
Ersenwyen
Ersenwyen is the cold north of Trislan, from frigid winters to chilly rains. The highlands of Ersenwyen is ruled by lone kingdoms, independent duchies, and various Human, Minotaur, and other tribes. For millennia, the people of Svalland, a region on the northern edge of the world long immigrated and integrated with the local peoples after centuries of war. Even farther in history, this was one of the last homes of the last Titans and their children. Ersenwyenian people include Elves, Dwarves, Dullahans, Minotaur, and Half-Giants alongside with the Human majority. The people of the Trislanian north see their southern lowland cousins as soft and meek, due to their tamer environment.
The polities of Ersenwyen had long-standing trade relations with the nations of Libertalia's Far North, the Satyr's Dragonhunter Tribes, the Svalland peoples, and the World's Edge tribes. As the people of the north, they are amicable with each other, although many of their sea raiders fought each other in piracy. Their vessels sail for trade with these polities, and their ports welcome their fellow northern peoples. They are mercenaries in each other's wars, and often directly intervene, politically and militarily. Many aspects of their culture are shared with Svalland and the Far North. As a region, the Divine Decree has less of an influence, despite many of them adhering to the faith, due to various factors and lack of religious establishments there.

Their relations with their southern cousins vary. More often than not, their tribes and kingdoms raided southern Trislan villages. Some of them also trade ice and raw monster materials for products from the south of Trislan, especially food, which they stockpile. They are mostly hired for mercenary work, and seldom allies due to the difference in culture and old grudges.
The mountains and hills are home to many monsters that many settlements are used to defend against them. However, they also possess coastal plains and valleys, which are ruled by coastal powers which fight each other for supremacy. Many settlements are usually built on hills and mountains, and seldom in the lowlands. The few valleys of the region are fought over by its many states.
Amithrales
Amithrales is the southern region of Trislan, with warm and humid summers and mild winters. Its breezy valleys and numerous islands are verdant and vast, and home to many cultures. Due to its strategic position and its vast coastlines, it has been subject to many wars and prosperity in trade. It is said to be the most profitable region of Yhrillian lands. Dragons had invaded these coasts time and time again, yet they were thwarted by their ancient peoples.
Thalassocracies populated the coastal lands, while kingdoms inland with their vast farms and cities occupied them. After the Golden Empire fell and fractured, it had been populated with smaller city-states to kingdoms that fought to dominate the region. Piracy was common on the coasts and seas of Trislan in its Age of Piracy, with numerous [Pirate Lords] and such. The one and only [Pirate Queen] in Yhril had subjugated and united the coastal states until her true death in her undying service to the Queen of Death. After the Queen of Death was slain, the region eventually became stable.
The Decree's crusades were launched on their coasts centuries after the region converted themselves to Decreeism decades prior. It was said that thousands of ships sailed to crusade against the Goddess and her Sects. Once the crusades had failed, the Beastkin of Lemuria invaded Southern Trislan until they were repelled by the native kingdoms. Even now, the kingdoms of Amithrales and Nabraqi possess some animosity in the form of rivalry towards each other, instead of outright hostility. However, they share each other's language conventions and cultures.
Their kingdoms today are often embroiled in conflict, politically and militarily. Each kingdom and independent duchy strives to conquer more territory and assets in their coastal lands. Often, they use mercenaries from Libertalia or Ersenwyen, and even Nabraqi and the Merchant Lords of the Golden Triangle. They are one of the regions that benefitted the most from the global trade with their proximity to the Golden Triangle. The region is home to major powers, mainly the expanding Aureleon Empire and Argentinium Empire, both claiming as successor states of the ancient Mithilrithaes Empire. Unlike the north, the Divine Decree holds more sway, influencing the regional politics.
