Well, IF I've got this right and the range of sea voyages is quite limited by monster attack, it likely means there has never been an "Age of Discovery", and no one has ever bothered to try circumnavigating the TLS globe. Depending on how wide or narrow Renthnor + Arclent + Thenours is longitudinally, it's completely conceivable that there's a "New World" of continents on the other side of the planet that's never been reached by explorers from the three continents, with a different set of Incubus Kings and nations that have no contact with our "Old World".

I did a very basic estimate of the scale of Arclent using the map, a measuring tape, and some rules of thumb. I figure a good marching pace is 3 miles per hour (hopelessly American, sorry) and that at 12 hours per day over 15 days means that Ari-Yhilina is 540 miles from Feroholm, or 869 km. (Using the lowest possible day count in free roaming and the most direct path.) That appears to be about 8 cms on the Arclent map at full resolution. So let's say the scale of the Arclent Map is 110 km to 1 cm because that's a nice round number. There's about 20 cm from the southernmost point of the Zirantian archipelago to Northernmost Aram, and, assuming the Renthnor map is to the same scale and orientation, 20 cm from the Arctic archipelago above Philon to the southernmost tip of the Renthnor Wilds. So assuming Renthnor is wholly to the North of Arclent, and adding some wiggle room, it looks like the maximum estimate of the distance from the TLS planet's North Pole to the Equator is 5000 km, meaning its radius is less than half that of the Earth. A good guess for the width of Arclent would be 4200 km at the equator, or 76 degrees of longitude, so letting Renthnor jut out another 30 degrees west and Thenours a similar distance east, that's still leaves the westernmost tip of the Renthnor Wilds more than an entire hemisphere from easternmost Ghenalon.

So there's a HUGE amount of unexplored planet.

There's a lot of assumptions and fudging in the above, obviously.
