The Southlands are the Warhammer World's analogue to Sub-Saharan Africa. Meanwhile the northern half of Africa is covered by Araby and Nehekhara, while the area vaguely corresponding to the Arabian Peninsula and Middle East are the Badlands. It's often stated that it's not a part of the Old World, which in the Warhammer universe is mostly just Europe.
Most of it is jungles and swamps filled to the brim with lizardmen and dinosaurs... so, just a copy of Lustria. The lore explains this by saying that in the ancient past, the Southlands and Lustria were joined together (just like Africa and South America were in real life). The Old Ones sundered the continents and created the Great Ocean to make conditions more favorable for the younger races.
Besides the lizards, there is an abandoned dwarf fortress, Karak Zorn, which is rumored to be the oldest dwarf stronghold ever, and The Fortress of Dawn, an outpost established by the elves. It's stated that there actually are dark-skinned humans living here as well (NOT the Pygmies, those PR nightmares live in Lustria). There's also an ape-like breed of Beastmen called Apemen, and the Skaven Clan Festerlingus.
