Simorgya
Stories:
The Sunken Land
Sea Magic[?]
Simorgya is a sunken kingdom in the Outer Sea. A long time ago when it was an island above the surface it was raided upon by the Snow Clans. According the legends of Fafhrd’s people …the men of far Simorgya were mighty magicians, claiming power over wind and waves and the creatures below. Yet the sea gulped them down for all that.
It’s fish-like residents still have enmity towards those from Rime Isle.
Distance:
About a month’s sail from Lankhmar. Four days west of No-Ombrulsk on the same latitude on a slow close reach. Four days swift sail on a broad reach south of Rime Isle.
Sinking Lands
Stories:
Induction
The Circle Curse
The Price of Pain-Ease
Swords of Lankhmar[?]
The Sinking Lands connect the continent of Lankhmar with the main continent, as well as divide the Inner Sea from the Eastern Sea. The Sinking Lands are a formation of light, porous rock that floats in the water. Due to geological activity beneath the Sinking Lands, released gas builds up under the formation and causes it to rise to the surface, providing a bridge between lands. When the gas builds up too much, the formation becomes unstable and wobbles, releasing the gas to the air and causing the formation to sink again. As such, travel across the Sinking Lands is never dependable and sometimes risky.

It is not known whether the hypothetical Western Continent exists or not.
