Geography

Arith is characterized by a relatively undiversified continental geography, compared to other areas in Alathra. South-east Arith contains a large old-growth forest running between Redwood and Ellesmere, bordering the sea and some arctic conditions. The forest is made up of oak, birch, dark oak, and spruce. The rest of the south-east is largely expansive flatlands, containing very little highland. In the middle of Alathra lies Mount Xeno, the largest peak in Arith, and the source of all its fresh water. North-west Arith contains a very large boreal forest, a great "belt" of flora stretching west to east, taking up more than half of the continent. This forested area is very diverse however, containing oak, birch, dark oak, spruce, swamps and mangrove oak, and savanna and acacia trees. The appearance of Arith's mesa biomes remain a mystery, one in the far north and one in the east.

Civilization

Arith is occupied by a total of 7 nations; Encavia, Albia, F.C.A., Pultria, Ceiltea, the Kingdom of Solis and Fare-Sesso. Arith contains approximately 40 towns and settlements, varying depending on Ariths long debated borders.
