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, particularly Junda, Besoaad, and modern Hartraan. Ancient Gaal was also an Iskean language.

It is notable that the words Gaal, Dal (as in Deltirot), Chel (Chelidt) and Junda all stem from a common Iskean or Thalsic root word, likely meaning “brave” or “bold”.
