The Hartheran Union, commonly named Harthera, is an imperialist maritime nation state dominating the northeast of Anásthias.

The Dun Jaën [doon jay-ENN] is a mountain range in eastern Anásthias, the northern section of the great arc of mountains which, together with the southerly Dun Trisan, separates Ororr from the remainder of the continent.

The Dun Jaen consists of rugged mountains, including the tallest peaks in the mountains. The region has no central governments, but the cities and polities are joined in a loose cultural and economic league, called Kahtoynplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigKahtoyn

Kahtoyn (called Bhourdan in Hartraan), also called the Confederation of Kahtoyn, is a political entity in the region of Otekahré. It is unique in the world that it is not a nation in the true sense, since it has no formal governmental structures, no kings or governors, no military or police, no codified laws, prisons or justice system. Instead it is made up of thousands of self-governing polities who follow a common ideology of good behaviour, common standards, and (mostly) friendly com…. The desert lands to the east have some settled towns and villages that decline participation in the league, as well as nomadic tribes.

The Hartherans traditionally called it “Anarthis”, meaning “Great Southern Land”. This name is still common, but today the native name is more diplomatic. Local people refer to either Kahtoyn in the east, or Shukioo, the plains in the west.

The region is geographically bounded by the Broken Landsplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigBroken Lands

The Broken Lands is a fractured region of sharp fissures, clefts and gullies, which forms a natural boundary between Harthera and Otekahré.

The Torthien Crisis (1018-1026 ME) was an international conflict which brought the world closest to total war than at any time in history.

Kahtoyn (called Bhourdan in Hartraan), also called the Confederation of Kahtoyn, is a political entity in the region of Otekahré. It is unique in the world that it is not a nation in the true sense, since it has no formal governmental structures, no kings or governors, no military or police, no codified laws, prisons or justice system. Instead it is made up of thousands of self-governing polities who follow a common ideology of good behaviour, common standards, and (mostly) friendly com…, its colonies and allied city-states, and various nomadic and semi-nomadic ethnic and cultural groups who are loosely allied and follow similar customs.

The most highly developed area is Kahtoyn, which despite having a ceremonial king, is not a monarchy nor even a hierarchical society in the traditional sense. Hartherans, themselves a highly bureaucratic, centralised and organised society, find this anarchic region difficult to comprehend, and so often refer to Kahtoyn and Otekahré interchangeably, although this is very far from the case.

The Gulf of Narill lies beyond the mouth of the River Nar, in northeastern Anásthias. Traditionally the Gulf separates Harthera from Otekahré, but Harthera now also claims the sparsely inhabited southern side.
