Kellan is a very large region, encompassing most of the central and southern SouthLands. It extends from the East-West Road in the north all the way to the southern tip of Lanad i'Sarois, just a few hundred miles north of the Grinder. In the east, it is bordered in the north by the Filitir Forest and in the south by the Golden Ocean. In the west, it is bordered in the north by Faxanadu and in the south by the Living Ocean.

Kellan was once a monarchy, ruled by the monarchs of the Wesber line. However, the last Kellanic monarch was King Tristan I, whose son dissolved the monarchy and turned control of its capital, Morelenas, over to Lord Morley Pallianor, newly-appointed Duke of Morelenas.

Today, Kellan is home to several of the ten duchies which make up the White Alliance. The city and duchy of Morelenas, at the southern tip of the continent, is the seat of power for the Alliance. Hanmer, in the central part of the region, is home to most of the diplomatic meetings amongst the member duchies. The duchies of Rabk, Gascar, Shethkor and Kimelis are also part of the region.

The climate of the Kellan tends to be moderate in the north, and subtropical in the south. It is a generally fertile land, as much of it sits in the Hanaelon River basin.
