Tian Xia is their 'Asian fusion' continent, has a lot of different regions and governments all dreamt up by a very wide cast of writers in Asia, but most seem to be from Shanghai and Hong Kong.

I am told that if you speak some Asian languages, these are very fun names to look at.

racially diverse 'western' explorers and refugees, technically a 'hong kongesque' situation without brutal colonialism:

before anyone gets weirded out by the elves, all pathfinder elves look like this, even ones from 'western' or 'african' areas

@Othello@hexbear.net @Pluto@hexbear.net might be of interest to /c/em_poc

pathfinder seems to have been very good with poc rep, they also have a fantasy africa continent that was done very well. main adventure there is basically not shit harry potter in fantasy timbuktu, main antagonist is an african mythological figure iirc. ap is called Strength of Thousands

Actually was gonna shout out the 2e Mwangi Expanse & Strength of Thousands before I saw your comment lol. Love the fantasy Africa analogue (big fan of the Anadi!) and how they avoided so many of the problems D&D's fantasy Africa analogue had in its portrayals. Haven't read anything on the east Asia stuff, looks dope though
