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, which divide Ororr to the north from the region of Munatan to the south. The Dun Trisan is the southerly extension of the great arc of mountains which divides Anásthias in two, the northerly section being the Dun Jaen.

The Dun Trisan consists of rugged mountain plateaux, with the highest peaks in the Civilised Worldplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigCivilised World

The Civilised World refers to the known regions of human civilisation, notably the continent of Anásthias, the Natorn Archipelago and surrounding islands.

The highest is Kat-i-Vau, approximately 8100m above sea level. Despite having the highest mountain, the Dun Trisan is less precipitous than the Dun Jaen, mainly consisting of rugged upland plateaux.

It is home to one of the most ancient sites of continuous human habitation in the world, Li-Vam-Aur, west of Torthien.

The foothills to north and south are thickly covered with virid forest, making the mountains impassable.

The name is derived from ancient Thalsic, meaning Mountains of Tears.
