Alteniquia

Alteniquia (Aurlûnoren: Xǔlónë or Many Islands) is the large, central continent of Rathnir. It is counted to be part of the Eastern political Hemisphere.

The continent is regionally split into Alteniquia Proper to the north and Australiquia to the south.

Alteniquia Proper
Alteniquia Proper is a semi-arid region predominantly consisting of deserts and savanna. It features the highest natural peak of Rathnir atop the Apasiril Mountains as well as the geographic center of Rathnir at the coordinates 0,0.

Settlements are predominantly associated with one of the global powers, Yimmu-Audal, as their heartland is based in Alteniquia with the Urnu-Arrak region around the Sea of Pearls.

Aldovir/Southern Alteniquia
The southern area of Alteniquia is a vast area of forest, plains and swamp. It differs from the rest of Alteniquia due to its cooler and more temperate biomes. It is home to the VAWR states of Cobblework, Sironia, Reyllea and other states, it is also home to The Coprate Union of Masons, a group made up off Cobblework, Kaithrat and the Cthulhu Consciousness. It is home to the Australiquian people.

Vastallos
The densely forested and predominantly jungled minor continent of Vastallos, located to Alteniquia's north-west is divided from the mainland by the Ombra Gulf, otherwise known as the Shadow Gulf.

The peninsula formerly known as Alteniquia Minor split from Alteniquia Proper by digging deep channels between the two continents and announced the reforming of the territory under a new name. The people, referred to as the Vastallosi, formed a continental alliance in response to the encroaching powers of Escharien, Yimmu-Audal and Valdreach.

The region was entirely controlled by the Vastallosi Alliance of Western Rathnir until it's collapse
