Two Sub-continent Islands separated from each other in the oceans of the prime material worlds by an Archipelago known as the Tlaxcala Isles. Gondwana to the South and Xolteca to the North.

(Some say these conjoined subcontinents mysteriously wander from prime material world to prime material world during the conjunction of planes). The Great Subcontinent to the South and west is known as Gondwana while the lesser subcontinent to the North West is Xolteca. Both are tropical with great rainforests, savannah and exotic beasts like dinosaurs. Pyramids house vast dungeons constructed by powerful Pharaoh-Magi with their one strange law of reality. Many of the races of Gondwana are very similar yet different to the classic races of Faerun just with more pigmentation. Hence Elves would be Tall, cattle herders and hunter gathers similar to the Masai or Amhara. The Dwarves are salt miners and farmers who build partially submerged homes in the highlands, where they keep the herds of swine and goats and farm their yams, they are experts of crafting bronze weapons and armor. Humans are melanated humans of various tribes and cultures, to the North of Quajjari they are nomads and merchants to the South near Walata and Njani they are farmers and currently fighting in a great civil war Between the ruthless Sorceror-king Soumaro and his outcast Nephew Sunjata. The Great Kingdom of Suqattra is ruled by a council of magi after the last Pharaoh was slain in battle. The Halflings are very similar to Xhosa and live pleasant lives in the deep forests and deserts as hunter gatherers.)

Killing innocents will eventually get Ushtabi guardians and Medjey to hunt down players. Disrespecting nobility can get the party arrested. Disrespecting religious icons can get the party arrested. Cosmology The Greater Gondwana Archipelago wanders from across dimensions; when the planets or planes have a conjunction. Xolteca is part of this Archipelago and hence travels across dimensions to other prime material worlds... thankfully this happens very slowly like over thousands of years... it is rumored to be somewhere in Faerun.
