Unlike 'east,' which is used for fixed or formal names (East Africa, East Coast) and for exact positions (east of the river), 'eastern' describes a broad area within a region. 'Eastern' can be used both before a noun (attributive) and after a linking verb (predicative), though attributive use is more common.
