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.
Teijhu is politically and culturally divided in two: Lower Teij, along the coastal plains and rivers, and Upper Teij, the hills and valleys of the north. The Empire formed as an alliance between rival clans, ending centuries of petty conflicts.
The empire collapsed due to internal conflicts. Lower Teij survived under the rule of the ancient clan nobility, conquering Upper Teij in the 8th century and extending influence as far as Penayso into the northern foothills. The government in Eijskip has always struggled to maintain influence over the north, and there have been three major civil wars between north and south. For the past century however the north has been content with being left alone by the capital, and there has been peace. Teijhu is still mostly agrarian and little touched by world affairs, the grand palace-cities of the old empire long derelict or grazed by livestock.
