There has been some interesting hints to distant areas based on the travelers coming through.
South
I, Blacktooth Ripclaw, lizardman soldier, hail from the South. My scales are yellow and I am fond of spears. I like warm, humid air. I left such comforts to explore and meet and get to know other peoples.
Bruv Brightbuckle comes from a fortress in the Sword Mountains to the South. He was the last to leave the place, being the last of his kin. He made sure to trap the place ensuring the safety of the clan's collection of artifacts while he is away.
West
I, Taarka, ravenwoman merchant, hail from the West. My feathers are black and shiny; I like shiny things. I came here to do business.
Da' Lir the crab kin merfolk and exiled alchemist has arrived from the far west.
North
I am the great wizard Bim “Bimson” the great! I am quite old, at 120 years, and will live much longer than that because I stretched out my lifespan like a rolling pin on dough. I wear a blue cloak and hat covered in moving constellations, wear slippers and have a long beard. I hail from the North, where the moon can always be seen, and ancient creatures stirr, to spread out the knowledge of magic!
Elliot March is a half-giant from the frigid tundras of the deep north. He's well versed in brewing and cooking, and a dab hand with the large sword he carries at his hip.
East: No traffic.
South: Marshes, known races: lizardfolk. Sword Mountains, known races: dwarves.
West: ravenfolk and crabfolk, possily indicating forests and ocean.
North: Moonlit tundras: wizards, half-giants, ancient creatures. Colder the further north one goes.
I think caution should be used when going East, it's been as silent as the dead...To the South there is an abandoned Dwarven fortress high in the Sword Mountains full of valuable Dwarven artifacts. And expansive marshes in the lowlands, warm and humid, enjoyed by the Lizardfolk...
Little is known of the West, but forests and ocean are expected...
One should wear heavy furs when traveling North. It is a place of magic, cold, and ancient creatures. The moon stays visible all day and night...
