Vastallos

Vastallos (formerly Alteniquia Minor) is a subcontinent of Alteniquia. In unity, the Vastallosi decided for political reasons, to geographically separate the peninsula from mainland Alteniqua, and create a new continent for their peoples. This continent was named Vastallos at the meeting of Carvay, where the Treaty of Carvay was signed forming the Vastallosi Alliance of Western Rathnir, an alliance dedicated to preserving the sovereignty of the nations of the region. Engineers from the continent have fully separated it from Alteniqua through large channels and walls. The name Vastallos descends from a colloquial name the people gave their land before the imperialist non-native mapmakers began labelling their land by the exonym "Alteniqua Minor".

While Vastallos is technically apart of Alteniquia, most people associate more with their own personal heritage and the surrounding peninsula rather than the entire continent itself. While most major powers on Rathnir formed with a unified player base that worked as a large group, Vastallos developed throughout time in a very different manner. Instead of one large unifying force, Vastallos started as a collection of small city states that carved the continent into different sections, each with a specific culture. Reasons for this are somewhat unknown but it is theorized that a mass migration in the past caused many different cultures from foreign lands to come to Vastallos. Some notable cultures include the Asturcian's, the Kawalapuan's, the Trollgardian's, the Faun, and other splinter cultures like the Kamigawan's, the Dracadian's, and the Carvaian's. There are many other cultures apart of Vastallos including some that have since gone extinct.

Geography
The geography of Vastallos is affected by the wet easterly winds of the Mare Caprechosa which are halted by the great jungle before reaching the Alteniquian deserts. Consequently, the biomes found on Vastallos are lush forests, marshy wetlands, dense jungle and glacial mountain regions.
