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. The term is an OrorrOrorrOrorrHartheraHartheraOrorrOrorrOrorrHartheraHartheraHartheran

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
.

During the collapse of the Eijult Empire local clans seized Gundapor and established an oligarchy, but lack of effective government and organisation lead to large portions of the west being conquered by Hesjbagaaia. Decisive leadership by ancestors of the modern royal dynasty reorganised the country into a modern nation-state.

Though originally a purely Manthi nation, today Danagunda is highly diverse, with a significant Essep community who fled Ennseperans during the War. There is also a significant Doroun middle class. Culturally the nation is part of the Heterodox Church.
