Thiatia

Thiatia is a mountainous region extending as a large peninsula from the southern coast of Orithea into the Sarpic Seas. Together with the corresponding peninsulas of Puavea to the south, it separates the Sea of Pearls from the Saulean Sea (the channel connecting them, between Thiatia and Puavea, is called the Gates of Ghirn and was the location of Alborak and Qoss before their destruction in the Great Cataclysm). The northern edge of Thiatia is generally considered to be the valley of the River Adomos, which forms a long, sinuous strip of low-lying country separating Thiatia's mountains from the highlands of Istrium.
Most of Thiatia is notionally under the rule of the Phyridian Empire, although in practice Amran's grip on the region is tenuous outside of the major cities. The biggest Phyridian city in Thiatia is Malakiros, located on the northwestern coast, which serves as the center of imperial administration for the whole peninsula.
