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

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.

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.
