Kham's Continent

Colville's relations imply a Liber campaign map.

An arbitrarily-large swamp-jungle incorporating a myriads-encompassing empire implies the sort of jungle as on our world. That's the Amazon or Kongo basin. That's in the thin black pencil line.

The Plains of Life dryland, opposite from the Qor dryland, must be north. In our New World what would be that region is mountain and Caribbean. It was easier to imagine a northern savannah from the African model, so para-Kongo it is.

The cities, Makhas and Phon-Thir (which the Pen-Togh rules), should be on riverbanks. To divide Kham from the rest of the jungle part of the swamp, I imposed a watershed, here purple in MS Paint's "Crayon". The watershed extends north, beyond the Kongo part. It follows close to the coast. That is to keep "the Great Swamp" as mostly swamp; the drier jungle is inland.

The swamp dries out into the drier latitudes in the high teens° North. Here are the Plains of Life, also extending southeast beyond the watershed. This savannah / sahel is "thousands of square miles" but it also supports about a thousand Tisyah tribes; so it must be larger than Kham rather than, as the text implies, a tenth that area.

Kham includes the snail island in its jungle demesne. Kham does not control past the jungle, nor beyond the watershed; there are no real hostilities with the Swamp's denizens. East of Kham could be more jungle - but it's not, because that land is Athas-style defiled. Likely is that the Nange's ancestors have set up a magical rain-shield, to dry out the Spider Queen's old empire.

Southeast of the snail island, the Swamp does NOT return. Here is terrain fit for hill giants: so, Namibia. That is where the Qor live.

Overall we're looking at the bulk of Africa if Africa's northern part was further south, aligning more with Brasil in our world. There is no northern Sahara. Nor does the south leave the infertile subtropics: the Qor "south-africa" ends at 35° South like for us. We don't know what's east.
