Carthya

The State of Carthya is the second-newest of eight states in the Second Tsardom of Ryzan. The capital city was founded on February 26th, 2021, and was officially incorporated into the nation as a state on February 29th, 2021.

Geography of Carthya
Carthya is the easternmost contiguous state of Ryzan. The state is split into two provinces, Drylliad and Tithio. Drylliad is found in the northeast of the state, mostly comprising of sprawling deciduous forests, beautiful flowing waterfalls, and charming lakes and ponds. Bordering a chilly sea and being in the north, Drylliad generally gets more rain but has direct access to an abundance of fishing spots from the Carchar Bay. The province also incorporates a small part of the fertile Greater Bardonian Plain. Tithio, on the other hand, consists of many different geographical areas including a portion of the soaring Balreskan Mountains,  just east of the rolling hills of the eastern Greater Bardonian Plain, and the towering coniferous trees of the Eberstein Forest. The two provinces are split by the River Terrewater in the south and the edge of the Eberstein Forest in the west.

History of Carthya
The City of Carthya was founded on February 26th, 2021, on top of the ancient ruins of Fort Carchar. It was set up by Lord Darrow Carpzov Aasimar-Eckbert, or more simply Lord Aasimar, to open a new trading hub and to solidify the Tsar's influence in the region, which was previously disputed between Bardonia and Ryzan. On the first day, construction began on a church of Tossansim to establish the city's influence. Although the church wouldn't be completely finished until March 3rd, it was opened for worship on February 27th, along with a small wheat field behind it. On February 28th, Lord Aasimar started building the Carpzov Keep, which was to be his personal home and the diplomatic hub of the city.
