The Euser Continent of Mana III is a large bulb with diverse terrain. In the southwest corner of the continent is the area of the Quad of Tasnica; to the east is the kingdom of Pandora. Several rivers in this basin form a junction around Centwerp, the reason for the city's historic value as a place of trade. Gaia's Navel is in this area, as well. North of the Quad and Pandroa is the Upperlands forest, site of the Tasnican city of Backwoods and a resurgent Matangan population. These vast, dense forsts stretch north until coming to the mountainous region of Mandala. In the northwest portion of the continent lies the kingdom of Kakkara, though some geographers consider it a separate landmass.

The Euser continent is also distinguished by several rivers that flow from the northern Mandala highlands to the southern Euser plains. Historically, the most important of these have been the Rolga and Eine rivers. The Rolga makes a turn west in the Upperlands to join the ocean, north of Olivawk; the Rolga was the subject of a large damming project by the Tasnica Republic around what would become the city of Backwoods. The Eine river -- literally, "one river" -- travels almost the length of the continent, before splitting at Centwerp into three parts at Great Mittel Lake. These rivers are the Alenol, which flows near Egmont and has been the historic border of Tasnica and Pandora for several centuries; the Ganjus river, which flows east to Pandora, which, along with its many tributaries has long served as the Dimension's breadbasket. The Ganjus is seen as sacred water by the Pandorans, who associate it with Undine -- the famed Water Temple sits alongside the Ganjus. Finally, the Eine itself continues down to Tasnicaport, where it has long served as an essential artery of the Tasnicaport-Centwerp axis at the heart of Tasnican commerce. The river still remains important for shipping despite the rise of more modern transportation systems allowing for the rise of newer industrial centers like Olivawk and Egmont. This rather considerable circuit makes "the Mighty Eine" one of the Web's longest.
