Adula is the second-largest continent located on the planet of Iearth. The vast continent is bounded by the bustling Olympic Ocean and Toyana Ocean to the east and the Sampson Ocean to the west. It is bisected from Euronia by the Strait of Quetana and from Antartique by the Strait of Drendarich.
Given its size and diversity, the concept of Adula—a name dating back to classical antiquity—may actually have more to do with human geography than physical geography. Adula varies greatly across and within its regions with regard to ethnic groups, cultures, environments, economics, historical ties and government systems. It also has a mix of many different climates ranging from the equatorial south via the hot desert in the East, temperate areas in the south-central regions and the continental centre to tropical western divisions.
Adula is home to some of the most influential nations in the world both in terms of historical impact and modern day connection, including Cadair, Emmiria, Austolis, Quetana, and Skith.

Adula, due to its immense size, is generally divided into three subcontinental categories: Eastern, Western, and Southern. These are generally categorized by geographical features. The southern division is most distinguishable due to its status as a centrally located island and surrounding islands separated from mainland Adula. The east and west, besides their obvious namesake separation, are distinguished by biome and climate differences. Eastern Adula tends to be more dry, consisting of deserts and semi-arid climates, while Western Adula is typically more humid and consists of tropical rainforests on the Samson Ocean side, ascending into high-altitude mountains, and descending towards the Strait of Austrolis with temperate deciduous forest.
