The Counterweight Continent, or CWC, also known as the Agatean Empire, is northeast of the Ramtops and the Unnamed Continent, and connects both continents by way of a land bridge and the ice lands.

It is named like that because it serves as a counterweight to the large expanse of the Unnamed Continent that span nearly to the Rim on the other side of the Ramtops, even though it is much smaller, being made mostly of the very dense and extremely magical octiron. There's also substantial amounts of gold.
