Teudallum is an insular continent in western Astyria. It is divided from its northern neighbour, Lorecia, by the Putin Strait. It is bordered to the north by the Mederano Sea, to the east by the Mare Ferum, to the west by the Sea of Jajich and to the south by the Bigblue Ocean.

It is Astyria's second largest continent by area, after Hesperidesia, covering approximately 29,260,000 square kilometres (11,307,000 sq mi). If the Woodsteasian Isles, which lie on the Teudallic continental shelf, are included, it is Astyria's largest continent, at 30,670,200 km2. Of Teudallum's 25 countries, Nikolia is the largest while Cadenza is its smallest.

Teudallum is an extremely culturally diverse continent, with many of its peoples having strong national identities. Despite this, it has been historically characterised by close ties and intermixing of cultural ideas, perhaps most notably in the Ethlorek migrations from eastern Lorecia to modern Trellin. Together with Lorecia, Teudallum constitutes the Astyrian 'Old World,' with the majority of its landmass settled since prehistory. Only equatorial and desert regions of the continent remained stateless into the early modern era. The west Teudallic nations, such as Berique, Cadenza and Dungeyland, presided over significant colonial empires, with their influence reaching across the region; these three nations are the last to hold overseas territories, excluding Northern ViZion which lies in Lorecia. Territories of non-Teudallic countries on the continent include Al-Raha, a possession of Riysa, and Sycoon, a dominion of Kylarnatia.
