Tarephia is a continent mostly in the eastern hemisphere. It is almost evenly divided between the northern and southern hemispheres, and a smaller portion lies in the western hemisphere. To the north across the Strait of Abren is the continent of Uletha. In the east, the Sea of Uthyra separates Tarephia from the Liberan Peninsula. To the southeast is the Asperic Ocean, and to the south across the Strait of Lyc is Antarephia. The Hesperic Ocean lies to the west.
Much of the continent lies in the tropics and subtropics.

Etymology
The names Tarephia and Antarephia can be traced to Baveili mythology. In Baveili mythology, the Tarephim were a race of winged humans. When the Baveilis landed on what is today the island of Tarephim in Meilan, they discovered caves containing depictions of winged humans. Believing that they had found the land of the winged humans, the Baveilis called the island Tarephim. As the Baveilis migrated westward through the Strait of Lyc, they eventually applied the name of Tarephim to the entire mainland.
When the Franquese arrived, they called region Tarephie, or Tarephia, as the Baveilis had referred to the land. Through the Franquese, "Tarephia" entered books and maps around the world. Today, "Tarephia" is used to refer to the entire continent.
Geography

Deserts dominate the north of Tarephia. The Great Helion Desert is one of the largest deserts on the continent. To the northeast is the Serion Desert and the smaller Foare Desert. With the exception of the river that flows into the Ilemian Sea, most of the interior north is arid.
Equatorial Tarephia and southern Tarephia are more lush; rainforests and savannas cover much of the south.
