The Belanoche is comprised of a small, roughly triangular region of space that is unoccupied by anyone, and unclaimed by any one nation. The Belanoche is a wild region, dominated by mountain chains that have proven to be fatal to some. It has also become the prime breeding ground for foreign relationships, mythical beings/creatures, etc. Some of the mountain chains extend into claimed regions of the continents, Nivern primarily, however the large majority of them make up this territory.
