The Natorn Archipelago, or the Natorn Isles [nah-TORN], is a chain of islands in the Natorn Sea. The islands are oceanic ridge running from the northeastern tip of Anásthias to the Anrel Isles. The ridge is an active geological fault, many of the islands being volcanic.Anásthias.
The nation began in the twelfth century BME as the Kingdom of Delgeth, initially only controlling the city of Delgeth and the rich agricultural valley in its hinterland. It later conquerred the city of Helmeth and its territories in the Alteim Mountains, becoming wealthy in natural resources. Its lords fought constant border wars with its neighbours.
Following the Battle of Four Kingdoms the kingdom formally annexed its devastated neighbour, Derailad, and launched another war of conquest and consolidation. The populace, tired of war and bloodshed, and full of superstitious fear at absorbing a haunted land, rose up and overthrew the monarchy. After a turbulent interregnum, the Hexactic Republic of Alsan was instituted - commonly called the Alsaneth Republic.
