The fame of the Pallathantic Sea has given its name to the region and the lands which its waves wash.  The goddess [[Pallatha]] is the sea's namesake and she is credited with guiding the ancient [[Pallathantic Tribes]] to settle its islands thousands of years ago. The Pallathantic Sea is formed between the [[Pytharnia (Subcontinent)|subcontinent of Pytharnia]] to the north and the minor continent of [[Danona]] and the lands of [[Throvy]] and [[Corundy]] to the southThere are over a hundred islands in the Pallathantic Sea, the greatest of which are [[Nymentho]] and [[Erechóreb]].  The sea has a great moderating effect on the lands and islands that touch it and [[Magdeology|magdeologers]] believe that the sea is the means by which warm water from near the equator is brought north.  The commercial and cultural worth of the Pallathantic Sea is incalculable to the surrounding nations and peoples.

Map of the Major Isbajutha in Disradún, Ptohlia, Shagrela'al, and Zephasia

Also known as the Psychic Crusades, the Isbajutha (plural, from Khahonri 'sebejeh,' to fight against with intention; singular isbajath), are the series of calculated wars that brought to an end the dominions of the great Chaos Rulers of the Middle Ages. The Isbajutha consist of the general psychic crusades demanded by the then-ruling Incarnandina and the lesser psychic crusades, each general Isbajath (psychic crusade) being designated with a number and each lesser isbajath designated with a non-numeric name.

Numerous other conflicts arose during the Isbajutha as the worship of chaos and the practice of chaos magic had become firmly entrenched throughout the Pallathantic Region. The Shenimite Incarnandists, their converts, and their allies in the Arathracian Church followed an organized program aimed at eliminating the chaos leaders with immense success.

The extirpation and exile of the most egregious leaders of the chaos movement fell even more swiftly on the Pallathantic than the speed with which chaos cults arose and flourished in the Middle Ages. Practitioners, priests, and cultist of chaos not slain or converted through the Isbajutha fled into hiding, sometimes with great irony, concealing themselves and their works in the very places of refuge where they had driven Incarnandists and others during the former rule of the princes of chaos.

Artist's depiction of the legendary titan city of Azalamb

A legendary city of the titans thought to exist in another realm, Azalamb is reported to be as vast as a small world. Accounts handed down from pre-flood times reveal that many titans fled during the cataclysms to the world of Azalamb. The city is said to have been created over twenty thousand years ago. Lord Tenedrin Calchamas of Aurice and other scholars of the titanist school desire to discover or create a titan gate by which means they may be transported to the city of Azalamb.

Featured List

The records of Kalama provide us a sequence of eleven kingdoms, each composed of numerous dynasties and reaching back unthinkably into the past. Scholars generally accept the historicity of the king lists from the sixth millennium before Salmakhamer towards the present. Rulers before this time are considered legendary or semi-legendary. Non-native and some native scholars regard the historicity of the Sanjasthanite Kingdoms with much skepticism believing it to be completely or largely fabricated. (See Full Article...)
