Aradashe is a small continent about 1600 km (1000 miles) long, west-to-east. It is made of of two main land forms, the eastern, Suhai, and the western, Mehame, with an inland sea (the Suyaga Sea) between them.

A range of mountains, with peaks up to 3500 meters (10,850 ft.) runs from near the west end of the continent to the east end, broken by the plains surrounding the inland sea. The rains usually approach Aradashe from the southeast, so the mountains create a rain shadow for the continental interior and northern areas. Just north of the mountain ranges is wide steppe. The rains strike the western point and the southern coast. The finest farmlands are along this coast. The far western point is very wet, and has monsoon rainforests.

The Capital city, Ifera, is along the southern coast of Mehame. Ifera is the home of the Hatimaka, the divine ruler of all Aradashe. Also along the southern coast is Uyamara, a former capital and major trading center.

On the Suyaga Sea, near the center of Aradashe, is Chude, the seat of legislature and home of the powerful Speaker of the Hatimaka. It is the third most-populous city. The main highway runs between these two cities.

The dominant cities in southwestern Suhai are Madoyasi and Ezhira. These two city-states have been competitors for trade throughout their history, fighting numerous wars. Only 100 miles divides them. To their east are deep jungle river valleys, and amid them, the great city of Hitseke.

On the north coast of Suhai lies the mysterious city-state of Zhithora, with its exotic culture and mighty temples, topped with elegant spires.

Aradashe lies far from any other inhabited land. To the northeast is Dekai, another island, about half the size of Aradashe. It is the closest land to Aradashe. Off the west coast is Vakenisha, actually part of the same island chain. A little farther to the south and west of Aradashe is the huge continent of Hyasi, with such empires as Sikekari (Sigegar), Valesuta (Valestar), Kurusha (Crucia), Lituwani (Litua Nim), and Ekopo.
