Lofuel'Athash-Nethor

The Realm of Lofuel'Athash-Nethor is the only sovereign nation in Ledare. It is located south of Zemuriah. Lofuel'Athash-Nethor entirely comprises of the entire continent of Ledare as a result.

Lofuel'Athash-Nethor was inhabited by indigenous Nethorians, who were among the earliest known humans prior to the Tanlath Lightfield Expedition in E088. Its eastern side was claimed by Onth'Thalas and initially settled through penal transportations to the colony of New Silvermoon. The population would grow steadily. The Realm of New Dawnstar was incorporated into the territory in S011.

Lofuel'Athash-Nethor is the flattest, driest, and oldest inhabited continent, with the least fertile soil. A megadiverse nation, its size gives it a wide variety of landscapes and climates, with its deserts in the north, tropical rainforests in the south, and mountain ranges in the centre and in the south-east. It thrives on mining, banking, forging, and manufacturing.

Its inhabitants are limited to certain rights but in recent times, the government has granted and appealed to more rights for its inhabitants such as making it legal for Nethorian Elves to learn arcane magic. The country would later have its own fount of power, known as the Southern Well, which is maintained by the magisters and sorcers of the Southern Well Circle under the direct supervision of Governor-General Aerilan Richcrest.

Much like its mother country, Lofuel'Athash-Nethor has a close relationship with the Kingdom of Veldrun and the Magocratic Kingdom of Orandas, as well as having a strong trade partnership with its fellow realm, Fifalr'Shash.

Etymology
The name Lofuel'Athash-Nethor is a combination of two Thalassian words; Lofuel meaning "Southern", and Athash-Nethor meaning "Commonwealth". In translation, it roughly translates to Southern Commonwealth.
