Introduction

Preface

Pronunciation & Accents

Ideally, when one desires to learn the correct pronunciation of a word, one asks a well-educated local. With the cost of transportation being what it is, visiting the more remote parts of Kèthîra is not always practicable. This being the case, we provide accents on local words to assist the reader in his quest for linguistic veracity. A reader who does not wish to participate in such a quest may, of course, ignore the accents.

In general, accents indicate syllabic stress:

An acute accent (á) indicates primary stress.

A grave accent (à) indicates secondary stress

A circumflex accent (â) indicates that the vowel should be pronounced as if it were followed by an r, and may replace the acute or grave to indicate primary or secondary stress. If a circumflex accented vowel is followed by an ‘r’, it should be read as a ‘double r’ and ‘rolled’ slightly. Sometimes it should be rolled even if there is no following r.

Ø appears in Phâric languages (including Chelémbian). It is usually pronounced as a long ‘o’ as in tone, or as an ‘oa’ sound as in boat or Moab, or as an ‘ou’ sounds as in about.

æ is usually sounded as y with which it is interchangeable. If a and e appear as separate letters, they are each sounded.

Dating

The dating system in used this and other (official) Keléstia Publications. is named for its creator, the scholar Túzyn. The dates are measured from the founding of the Kingdom of Mèlderýn (the Year 1), although it has been suggested that Túzyn might have been looking to some other event or events.

Dates using Túzyn Reckoning include the prefix TR.* Hence, the year TR1 is the year in which the Kingdom of Mèlderýn was founded.

Dates prior to the founding of Mèlderýn are prefixed by BT which stands for Before Túzyn Reckoning.

If no prefix is included in the date, it is assumed to be TR.

* Some people use the tr or bt abbreviations as a suffix instead of a prefix, but this is considered a mark of under-education by the over-educated.

General Map of Kèthîra

MAP: Continents & Regions

Coat of Arms


Kèthîra is the second of five planets of the star Nólomàr; it is slightly smaller than Terra and has a large moon called Yaél. Kèthîra is a ‘water planet’; oceans and seas cover seventy-eight percent of the surface, including two large polar ice packs. There are three continents, in order of size: Lýthia, Mêrnat, and Kámerand.

Areas of Continents
Continent Square Leagues Square Kilometres Square Miles
Lýthia 3,375,000 54,000,000 21,000,000
Mêrnat 1,250,000 20,000,000 8,000,000
Kámerand 1,125,000 18,000,000 7,000,000
Lýthia

The continent of Lýthia is, by far, the largest of the three. With a surface area of 3.375 million square leagues and ranging from sixty degrees north to forty degrees south, Lýthia has every type of climate and vegetation. The variety of peoples, cultures, and languages is vast.

Mêrnat

The continent of Mêrnat is entirely located in the southern hemisphere, roughly 1,200 leagues southeast of Lýthia at the end of the Molkûran archipelago. Mêrnat has an area of 1.25 million square leagues. Climate and vegetation vary, but the continent can be characterised as dry, with extensive grasslands and the world’s largest desert. Mêrnat is sparsely populated; the fertile coastlands are peopled with a variety of pre-agrarian cultures and steppe nomads range throughout the grasslands. Molnásian seafarers have visited Mêrnat; they call it Kitóh.

Kámerand

Kámerand lays some 2,400 leagues west of Lýthia across the Haónic Ocean. With an area of 1.125 million square leagues, Kámerand is roughly a-third the size of Lýthia The continent has a narrow east-west axis, but its north-south extent exceeds that of Lýthia. Hence, the ranges of climate and vegetation are almost as diverse. Kámerand has a broad range of peoples and cultures. With the exception of a few brave seafarers Lýthians do not know of Kámerand; no visits have been recorded in the other direction.

Map Projection

Most of the maps in this atlas employ a variation of the Interrupted Sinusoidal Projection with Azimuthal Equidistant Polar Regions. This is a reasonably equal area projection, meaning that areas on the map are closely proportional (relative sizes are quite accurate). Lines of latitude are parallel and run east-west. The only distortion in this projection is the meridians: at the edges of segments the meridians are not straight lines. The prime meridian is arbitrarily set as running roughly between Ázeryàn and Tríerzòn. Along this line, north-south are truly represented. This is also the case in the other segment baseline meridians at 90° West and at 180°, and (in the southern hemisphere) at 90° East. Kèthîra has a 21°axial tilt. This places the tropics 21° north and south of the equator, and the Arctic and Antarctic circles 21° from the poles. The tropics of Fenéri and Tai bound the region in which the sun can be directly overhead. Between the tropics, days and nights are always 12 hours long.

Kèthîra Map Projection

The basic map identifies the continents, the oceans, and a few significant geographical/political features/regions by name.


Index to the Map of Kèthîra

Áltôr

Across the top of Northwest Lýthia, Áltôr is a land of tundra, mountains, dense forests and cold woodlands. Many rivers drain the region into the Sea of Ítikîr. Most of the indigenous Alts (a Járind people) are hunter-gatherers, and the region is sparsely inhabited. There are, however, several significant settled areas, some of which have been inhabited for centuries.

Anzelôria

The south-western subcontinent of Lýthia spans the equator. It has a broad variety of climate and vegetation including rainforest, woodland scrub savannah and savannah woodland. The interiors and much of the coast are sparsely settled. With few exceptions, Anzelôrian states have tended to be isolationist with relatively little influence outside Anzelôria. The interior especially is an enigma to the rest of Lýthia; rumours persist of lost cities and civilisations, fabulously wealthy mines and outlandish beasts and folk.

Coat of Arms
Argóla

A region of northeastern Lýthia named for its semi-nomadic peoples. Parts of Argóla were provinces of the Empire of Ch’mísa.

Ázeryàn

The great central peninsula of Venârivè, Ázeryàn lies at the heart of the Venârian Sea. In the north, the Tonátris Mountains divide Ázeryàn from its northern neighbours. The drylands of southwest Ázeryàn are inhospitable, but the rest of the peninsula is productive and densely inhabited. The peninsula is the surviving heartland of the great Empire of Ázeryàn, which once dominated the Venârian Sea. The Empire lost most of her territories to war and rebellion, but is now again on the rise.

Býria

A tropical and sub-tropical region on the north-central coast of the Anzelôrian subcontinent on the southern coast of the Venârian Sea. The region was once a province of the Àzeryáni Empire. Býria is now the world’s most powerful matriarchal empire.

Dádenârtra

The vast desert, scrub and semi-desert region of northwestern Mêrnat. Despite its aridity, nomadic peoples make this region home, walking vast distances across the open plains.

Dalkésh

A region to the southeast of the Venârian Sea centred on and around the Târga River. Placed across several trade routes, the Târga River has nurtured a succession of civilisations. The Empire of Dalkésh stood against Ázeryàn at her zenith.

Diramóa

The region of eastern Lýthia between Ketârh and the Sea of Lashói, centred on the Ch’mísa River. The region is the great eastern cradle of civilisation and has fostered great empires; the most recent is called Diramóa.

Èndrakômas

The southern reaches of Kámerand, an area of warm temperate and sub-tropical climate, with a mixture of evergreen hardwood and mixed woodland cover. The northern part of this region is savannah woodland.

Gáridh

Gáridh is a cold archipelago in the Sea of Ítikîr; it was the northern extent of Áltish settlement. It is now home to a few Alts and ‘exiled’ Ivínians.

Góthmîr

The coasts and margins of Góthmîr are lightly forested, while the interiors are lightly wooded grasslands. Until recently Góthmîr was part of the Empire of Ázeryàn, but is now the range of Reksýni horse tribes. Conflict continues between the Empire and the nomads.

Harazákas

The north-central region of Kámerand, its landscape varies from tropical scrubland in the south, to grasslands in the north. Coastal regions have mixed (summergreen) woodland.

Hârn

Hârn is the largest of the Hârnic Isles, a misty, forested, barbaric land west of Lýthia, off the coasts of Emélrenè and Shôrkýnè. Lake Benáth dominates its centre. Hârn is a land of mystery and myth — strange elder peoples and fell beasts are said to dwell there, its kingdoms and realms are small and fractious, and outsiders generally avoid the place.

Hépeker

A large island subcontinent separated from Anzelôria/Lýthia by the straights known as the Elánas. Hépeker is mostly desert and semi-desert populated by fiercely independent tribes but there are grasslands and evergreen hardwood forests and woodlands along the coasts where most of the large settlements are located.

Homôra

A mountainous region of coastal southwestern Molkûr dominated by tropical rainforest. The people of the region are generally isolated, but have contact with the peoples of Molnásya and the Shéntu Sea.

Hôrótra

The equatorial rainforest region of Kámerand, around the Gulf of Hôrah on the Tropic of Fenéri, Hôrótra is hot and wet. Its cultures have adapted to the prolific vegetation and teeming wildlife.

Iváe

A large island off the northwest coast of Lýthia, surrounded by thousands of smaller islands, Iváe’s highly glaciated landscape, fjords, and mountains were the home of ancient folk. Several competing Ivínian kingdoms now vie for control of the region. Ivínians have colonised many parts of Venârivè in the last two centuries.

Jánkor

A peninsula of northeast Lýthia, north of Diramóa and Shóju, Jánkor is a mountainous region, with most of the population on the southern coast. Jánkor was part of the great empire of Ch'mísa, but is now an independent state.

Kámerand

The third continent of Kèthîra, Kámerand has the greatest north-south extent, and consequently highly varied climate and vegetation.

Káneum

A region of northern Molkûr, south of Diramóa and the Sea of Lashói, Káneum is blessed by considerable sub-tropical forest. There is ongoing conflict between the peoples of Káneum and Diramóa over the Chomsún and Lashói regions.

Karéjia

Karéjia is the name given to the islands of the eastern Venârian Sea and to the league of minor states located there. Much of the region is volcanic in origin, with rich if dry soils. Karéjia has fostered a number of cultures; it is currently home to numerous allied trading states.

Ketârh

The heart of Lýthia is a great high plateau, comprised primarily of desert, semi-desert, steppe and prairie grasslands. The nomadic Ketârh peoples have had a significant, and often violent, effect on the history of both eastern and western Lýthia.

Lýthia

Lýthia is Kèthîra’s largest continent. It can be divided into a number of subcontinents and regions; the largest of these are Venârivè, Anzelôria, the Ketârh Plateau, Hépeker, the Great East and the vast Molkûr Peninsula.

Mafán

Millennia ago, the coasts and hinterlands of south central Lýthia, around the Shéntu Sea (the Gulf of Mafán), were the site of one of Lýthia’s great empires. The region is now peppered with small trading states.

Melûria

Melûria is a region on the southern coast of central Molkûr, bounding the Melûrian Sea. It lies south of Káneum and west of Molkûra, and has had a difficult and contentious history.

Melûrian Sea

The body of water between the Lýthian mainland (Molkûr) and the continent of Mêrnat south of the Molkûran Archipelago. The south-western extent of the Melûrian Sea is uncertain.

Mêrnat

The second continent of Kèthîra, Mêrnat is thinly populated, and dominated by desert, semi-desert and grasslands. Significant regions include Dádenârtra, Rúa and Yoréa; only the latter two have had any contact with outsiders. The peoples of Mêrnat might seem primitive to outsiders, but live in near perfect harmony with their environment.

Molkûr

The great southeastern region of Lýthia, Molkûr is dominated by rainforests. Molkûr includes Káneum, Pélechâr, Homôra, Melûria and Molkûra. The civilisations are ancient and mysterious.

Molkûra

The easternmost peninsula of Lýthia, Molkûra is in the main a mountainous wilderness of tropical rainforest. Most of the population dwell in the southern lowlands. Molkûra is an imperial state, but central authority is difficult to maintain due to the rugged terrain, poor communications and endemic tropical diseases. Consequently, local magnates hold most of the power. The many ancient ruins are largely unknown to the inhabitants.

Molkûran Archipelago

A chain of islands running east from Molkûr to Mêrnat, the Molkûran Archipelago divides the Thiánic Ocean from the Melûrian Sea and ‘connects’ Lýthia to Mêrnat (in a geographical sense). The islands are lightly inhabited. Many have ruins similar to those found on the mainland.

Molnásya

An archipelago south of the Melûrian Sea; these islands are populated by a relatively ‘civilised’ people, but there are few urban centres. Several islands have ruins similar to those found in Molkûra. The people practice a mixture of hunting, fishing, and agriculture, as well as trade. They are generally peaceful, but fiercely independent.

Neránadh

A group of islands off the northeast of Kámerand, Neránadh is the only cool temperate area of Kámerand, dominated by mixed woodland. The very northern parts of the archipelago are near the artic circle in the Sea of Ítikîr. The tribes of the region live in a civilised federation dominated by a ‘royal’ tribal group. Neránadh is the closest part of Kámerand to Lýthia and has been visited by Ivínian explorers.

Pélechâr

Pélechâr is an inland region of central Molkûr, with mixed woodland and tropical scrublands. Its peoples have long been under pressure from their stronger neighbours.

Quârphor

A vast region north of the Tonátris and Nadámi Mountains, much of Quârphor is drained by the mighty Tîrga river. The Tîrga pours into the Gulf of Shôrkýnè through the region of Huriséa and the Ántiag Marshes. To the northwest lies Hârbáal and to the north Áltôr. The Quârph are a Phâric people. Some of them have settled in places like Huriséa, but most still roam their wide plains and forests.

Rúa

Rúa is the westernmost part of Mêrnat. It is inhabited by indigenous peoples of Mêrnat, who have had contact with the peoples of the Molkûran Archipelago. There are also a few enclaves of assimilated Molkûran colonists. The north-western parts of Rúa are covered in tropical rainforest, and home to fabulous creatures unknown elsewhere on Mêrnat.

Sea of Ítikîr

Kèthîra’s northern sea surrounds the northern polar ice cap. High winds, low temperatures and sea-ice make the Sea of Ítikîr one of the least hospitable parts of Kèthîra. Legend suggests the Sea of Ítikîr is the realm of some very angry gods; only a few Járind settlers and Ivínian exiles and ‘heroes’ have ventured this far north.

Shéntu Sea

The body of water separating Anzelôria from southeast Lýthia is called the Shéntu Sea. It is subject to monsoons and tropical storms.

Shóju

An archipelago and feudal–imperial state off the coasts of Diramóa and Jánkor, Shóju was colonised by people from Jánkor millennia ago. The Shóji Empire is militaristic, fiercely independent and habitually at war with her neighbours. The region is largely sub-tropical and prone to earthquakes.

Thiánic Ocean

The vast Thiánic Ocean lies east of Lýthia, north of Mêrnat, and west of Kámerand. Tropical summer cyclones make sailing extremely hazardous. The Thiánic Ocean has been little travelled by seafarers.

Tían

The largest of many islands in the Thiánic Ocean is north of Mêrnat, and northeast of the Molkûran Archipelago. Its inhabitants are a mixture of people who may have migrated from Mêrnat and Molkûra. Tían and her accompanying isles are home to a combination of peaceful and warlike tribal federations. Abundant vegetation and wildlife make Tían something of a paradise on Kèthîra.

Tríerzòn

A feudal region to the west of Ázeryàn, Tríerzòn incorporates the Degéla and Gadén watersheds, and the Kôrgin and Cherýka peninsulas. In the west the Luíndè and Jerinála mountains separate Tríerzòn from Thánema and Emélrenè, while the Nadámi Mountains divide Tríerzòn from the Shôrkýnè region. The Tríerzòn region is dominated by four feudal states: Tríerzòn, Shôrkýnè, Palíthanè and Emélrenè.

Úlmer

The northeastern coastal lands of the Venârian Sea are bounded by the Yaél Mountains to the east and the wide plains of Reksýna to the north. Beyond the mountains lie the Ketârh Plateau. The trading states of Úlmer compete with those of Karéjia. West of Úlmer lies the troubled Reksýni tribal lands, and contested Imperial Àzeryáni provinces of Góthmîr.

Venârian Sea

A sea with countless islands almost surrounded by western Lýthia. Its warm and sheltered waters have fostered seafaring cultures for millennia. The Járind called it the Émel Vâdivè or ‘Middle Sea’.

Venârivè

Venârivè is that area of Lýthia around the Venârian Sea and the Sea of Iváe. Including the north coast of the Anzelôrian subcontinent and the whole of Hépeker. It's climate ranges from tropical to sub-polar, but much of the region is temperate.

Yérazhen

Yérazhen is roughly that part of Kámerand lying west of the 120th Meridian West. It is divided from the rest of the continent by the Malpátachampè Mountains. Its lowland regions are rainforest, giving way to subtropical rainforest at higher elevations. Parts of Yérazhen are less than a hundred leagues east of Yoréa in Mêrnat.

Yoréa

The easternmost region of Mêrnat is also one of its wettest. Like Rúa, the northern tip of Yoréa is covered in rainforest; further south verdant grasslands are home to herds of strange beasts. The people of Yérazhen have attempted to colonise Yoréa, but have not been particularly successful.

Name & Dates List

Note: ADD a proper/seperate page for this all as a table. Once broken down into the Book Style like Kanday's split page style, can then add Category for each section part so that a complete list then gets made for all the pages for "said name". The once this is done, can then add this comprehensive list to "that" Index Section for "Category". In the end the aim is to create a complete "Name & Dates List/Index" so all the LINKS for names can then not only be categorised, but also interlinked between ALL articles and books, especially for DATES as this will be required to create a comprehensive Chronology Timeline and quick inter-referencing of the subject link(s).

Note: ADD links to each Name & Date within the Tabled Index, these should also include Eras & Periods for dates.

Note: INCLUDE all these into the Template (Sidebars & other data) Tables and so on.

Note: Example: Mercenary Companies would not only have a template for the Company, but be interlinked with that Type as a Category reflecting and showing Country, Shire, Hundred, Leader, Associated to/Sponsor, Location/Region and all other manner of data links within the design of the template and interact automatically with other templates, catergories, and index link lists.

Note: Example: A river would have a sidebar template that includes it's source length and so on, but also show not only the Catergories & Names, but be reflected within each of those Categories & Names Listed together. Basically internested Data, Links, Catergories, and so on to save redoing all links again with new pages or modifications, it automatically gets updated once interconnected correctly.
