You attempt to recall the maps you saw of the mainland.
Southeast, outside of Europe, is the desert; nomadic tribes live there. You haven't the slightest idea why they roam or what they eat, but you do recall the desert is a hell of sand, dirt, and lost civilizations, including one rumored to use mass-produced items of magical power. You've never seen a reason to believe that, though, nor has any archaeologist, so you mostly ignore it - that Wilderness has been of precious little relevance to you. You do however know that the supposed roots of many recent civilizations come from there.
The west European coast is an area containing the Great Forest in France. Most of your contact with that region came from contracts with the Sanethathatero Logging Company, an Elven tribe that does its best to fight the constant encroachment of the (possibly Chaos-driven) Untamed Wilds onto the rest of the French lands and makes a good profit on the lumber.
Southwest beyond France, Mountains. They're Calm but inhospitable, and you'd not expect anyone would choose to live there if not for the occasional Dwarven caravans proving it. They separate France from the Sinister territories of the Goblins of Iberia and their demonic masters.
Northern Europe, the German lands - a place whose heritage lies in Barbarian tribes, you're told. Mostly human, some dwarves and elves, a handful of goblins and the like. But farther, too far north, beyond all reasonable locations, beyond even the Netherlands, are the Terrifying frozen wastelands, glaciers full of undead that make the mountains look like the comfort of a royal palace. Eughhh, you'd rather not think of royal palaces right now though. But regarding the glaciers, if not for the reports of Dwarven Fortresses there, you'd think it something simply not meant for sentient inhabitants, but they've managed to survive and thrive there.
Far south on the mainland, the Italian Peninsula, a human land full of mountains as well as food of which you are rather fond at times.
Northwest, the Kingdom of Britain and its neighbor Ireland. Human lands, and your own home. South of where your ancestor moved the seat of government is Wales, a territory inhabited by a mix of humans and "Civilized" Elves. Many consider Britain to be one of the modern age's greatest bastions of Order.
