Encansavia

Encansavia is a historical region in south-east Onthunkan and north-east Arsine. The name is synonymous with Encansavia Province in The Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire.

"Encansavia" is the portmanteau of Encan and Cansavia. The current name was created when two under-populated provinces of the A.W.E. were combined into one as part of a series of electoral reforms.

Geography
Encansavia has a varied climate. To the north is a desolate tundra, containing the village of Srufaraigh. It forms a natural border with the industrial city of Dortberg in the Wandenreich. To the east and west are two seas, connected by more temperate and habitable land.

A mountain range lies immediately south of the Onthunkan - Arsine continental divide. Not only do these mountains trap warmer air and moisture coming from the south, they contain hot springs powered by the Cinderheart. Accordingly, the southernmost part of Encansavia is covered by jungle and swampland. This area is very productive agriculturally and, along with the Ashtrokan Deguaran, serves as a breadbasket for the A.W.E.

Culture
Due to the varied climate, Arsinian Encansavia and Northern Encansavia have visibly different identities. Only a powerful wizard can comfortably wear the exact same clothes in frosty Srufaraigh and steamy Encan City. Vulpur transiting the region often find it beneficial to use human outerwear, as they would otherwise have to grow, and subsequently shed, a full winter coat.

Arsinian Encansavia is a descendant branch of the Ashtrokan culture, having been settled by citizens of Leehhtarka and Vonkari. This said, there are also Huitca and Rattican influences. Some traces of the original residents remain, including the original Seat of the Huitca Commonwealth building (preserved as a cultural and historic site) and the Ruins of Greggdale.

Northern Encansavia is aptly described as "Vaemore, but friendlier". Cold, harsh, and enduring, but also a place of respite for travelers from the Wandenreich. The city of Sturulungar is part of the Rattican cultural memory, and while the original city was destroyed, its legacy is commemorated with a statue of a rat.
