Ostartia

The nation of Mapetra is an island based nation located in the very westmost of Eldham with Aristios to its west, Anglunia to its east and Mapetra to its south.

Prehistory period
Long before its founding as Ostartia, a great civilization known as Leyfindor lay on the island. Its civilization grew fast, its soil fertilized by the nearby volcano, which lay in the middle of the island. They eventually grew a civilization based around the volcano, worshipping it, praising it as the great bringer of life, or as they called the volcano, "Mt. Artia". However, as much as the volcano brought, it would also eventually become their downfall. During a year of unusually high temperatures and low crop rates, the volcano erupted, larger then ever seen before, lava pouring down the sides, ash covering the skies, raining down on the cities, covering each in a layer of stone, leaving the island long forgotten, covered in stone, its civilization written out of history, until its eventual rediscovery.
