The following is a list of cities on the continent of Zoda. This atlas will not be an exhaustive literary work of each city, but rather a basic guide to each city and its place on the continent and further, the whole of Imarel, to give the world traveler some measure of what to expect whilst traveling abroad. Zoda as a whole is a harsh, cold continent with frozen steppes and grasslands and several mountainous areas. The primary inhabitants of the continent are Voraath, Humans, a few Wild Elves, the only clan of Dwarves known to be established on Imarel and a gobinoid race called the Masoq, who constantly war with the former four.
Unlike Tal'Rah that has distinct areas of control, all of Zoda's cities are freeholds controlled by Northlanders that can trace their descendants to the first settlers from Shalzaar. While there are occasionally skirmishes between freeholds or nomadic tribes, by far the biggest threat are the Masoq. Like the Voraath most Masoq tend to be nomadic, however a fairly large concentration of them had taken residence in the Ruins of Blackgate, up until very recently, when the abandoned outpost was reclaimed by a group known as the Blackgate Vanguard.
