	Jontara was the replacement name for Jaiman, the [[ICE age\|I.C.E. Age]] continent of GemStone III. Elanith was the replacement term for [[Quellbourne]], which was only the northwestern corner of Jaiman around what is now called [[Darkstone Bay]]. It was soon instead the word for the continent itself in spite of the word Jontara still being used in a few places such as [[The Tale of Silver Valley]]. Finnia is mentioned in this story as well, another once orphaned term that replaced the term Emer. Strictly speaking, these are replacement concepts, not simply new names. Jontara is very different from Jaiman except for Quellbourne.		Jontara was the replacement name for Jaiman, the [[ICE age\|I.C.E. Age]] continent of GemStone III.

	Jontara is located between the Forgotten Sea an Abandoned Waters, according to very old messaging by [[Quin Telaren]], which were originally the Forbidden Sea and Barren Waters of Jaiman. The Abandoned Waters are represented on existing maps, but the water on the west coast of Elanith is called the Great Western Sea. Jontara is now defined in such a way that it does not conflict with Elanith.
