Antea

Antea is a country in the southern sea of the Known World.

History
Antea has remained largely independant throughout history, resisting Fenize's invasion attempts during their decline and resisting foreign influence in the current age.

Geography
Antea is a long mountainous stretch of land that cuts through the northern end of the southern sea. It is defined by its mountain-range spine on its southern coast from which the lowland northern coast receeds.

Politics
Antea is a metalocracy, driven by a religious order who follows the whims of the mysterious meteoric metals rarely found in the mountains of the country. Power is decided by who is bound to the most objects forged from the strange material.

Religion
Antea's predominant religion is focused toward the heavens, with their gods existing in a celestial realm and speaking to them through celestial bodies.

Economy
Antea's main exports are wool and wine, which are both produced on the mountain slopes and valleys by farmers.

Magic
Magic use and study is accepted within Antea, within divinatory magic seen as the pinnacle of the craft. Many of the elected advisors to the monarch are studied divination mages and oracles.

Technology
Antea has not been as against mechanisation as Pridain but still generally defaults to arcane means. They have a generally friendly relationship with Nofkort, whose engineers assisted in the production of the rail system that runs between the peaks of capital.

Queen Paziria Efa
The current monarch of Antea.
