Anásthias [a-NAS-thee-ass / ænæsθiːæs], or [an-ass-THEE-as] is an equatorial island continent, heart of the Civilised World. The north straddles the equator and is hot and humid, while most of the equatorial centre is an upland plateau with fertile river valleys, and stretches of arid plains and desert in the shadow of the mountains. The south is temperate but more wild, separated from the civilisations of the north by the almost impassable Harthera
, on the coast of the Umber Sea. It flourished in the latter part of the Beryl Epoch, from roughly 700 BMEplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigBME (Before Modern Epoch)

when it was dominated by Ennseperan Empire. Nepor and Clanisjpor were its two greatest cities, which engaged in a long standing cultural and economic rivalry. Other key cities were Dsjeepor and Ulapor. helevos:anasthias-1me.png

The Rubaporat is also called the Cities of the Poet Kings, for their custom of annually electing a “Poet King”, the foremost thinker and writer of the time. The Poet Kings produced works of epic historic poetry, as well as philosophy and science.

and culture. The civilisation lasted from the 8th century BME to the 1st century ME. The rivalries between its two great coastal cities dominated its political history, with either Nepor or Clanisjpor holding the upper hand at various times.

The Rubaporat declined severely due to climate change at the start of the Modern Epoch, with changing weather patterns making peupra cultivation more uncertain. Falling sea level during the Little Ice Age isolated the two great cities from the sea except at the highest tides, limiting trade. Compounded by refugees fleeing westward from the dying Empire of Dor-en-Sann, the ancient Manthi dominance of the region eventually came under control of the new Ennseperan Empire.

Culture

Cities of the Rubaporat competed with each other to produce fine artworks, including poetry, jewelled cups and metalwork. Fine artefacts from the Rubaporat are still highly prized, and traded as far as Harthera and the Natorn Sea.
