Ororr [o-ROARR, ɒ̝rɔ'ɾ], also called the Holy Motherland of Ororr, is a theocratic nation in Anásthias, one of the world's great powers. It the largest nation in the world, perhaps the largest empire in history, occupying the entire northwest of the continent between the mountains and the sea. Ororrlanguagelanguagelanguage name Levandor, is an upland nation in the Dun Trisanplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigDun Trisan

The Dun Trisan is a range of mountainous uplands in Anásthias, 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 virid mountains of Anásthiasplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigAnásthias

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. It is remote and sparsely populated.

Despite its remoteness it is one of the most ancient regions of continuous human habitation, perhaps because in prehistory it was relatively clear of virid life, unable to tolerate the thinner mountain air and cool climate. It shares a close cultural and ethnic affinity with the neighbouring region of Taur-Dji-Aumplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigTorthien

Torthien is a common but now outdated term for the region of Taur-Dji-Oum, particularly used in Harthera. (Torthien), but Li-Vam is a much more ancient, spiritual and isolated region.

The principle area of human habitation is the region of Jo-van-koplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigJo-van-ko

Jo-van-ko is the central inhabited region of Li-Vam-Aur in the mountainous uplands of the Dun Trisan.

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.
