Munatan [Moo-Nah-Tahn] is the southernmost region of Anásthias, south of the Dun Trisan mountains. The name possibly derives from a ancient Thalsic, meaning “Land of One Sun”, since the daystar is not visible in the southern hemisphere. Or it may be a reference to the Manthi people who were once the majority population of western Munatan.

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.
In the Beryl Epoch Plós was an ancient philosopher-oligarchy which once exercised great influence on the region, both culturally and politically, despite never having great military strength. Instead its leaders were legal scholars and diviners, practicing “astromancy”, by which they predicted the future through the stars and claimed thereby to influence and improve the lives of petitioners.
Its culture was later eclipsed by Dromeism and the mercantile city-states of the coast, so that today, though it still lays claim to its ancient lands, in practice its influence is confined to the shores of the lake.
