Ansalon is one of several continents of Krynn, with some saying one of five major continents. A relatively small continent measuring 1,300 miles east to west and 1,000 miles north to south, Ansalon is located in the southern hemisphere. Many islands dot the coastline of the continent. Adlatum is located to the northwest of it and Taladas is to the northeast.

Age of Mortals

In the Age of Mortals, the climate of Ansalon has changed. Ranging from savannah in Kern and Nordmaar, to desert in Taman Busuk to the tip of the Desolation in the east, lands around Solamnia, including Sancrist, Northern Ergoth, all the way to Silvanesti as being temperate. Sable's Swamp is a large swampland around Newsea with a large, hot desert on the Plains of Dust. Icereach and Southern Ergoth are both arctic tundra. The western waters of the Turbidus Ocean have cold currents coming up from Icereach and the eastern waters of the Courrain Ocean bring warm waters from the equator.
