Casterria

Casterria was one of the great Dominions of the Empire of Trynser. Unlike most such Dominions, Casterria was a (sort of) republic. Casterria was one of two major Trynsern Dominions on the southern continent of Dantenna, the other being the kingdom of Askordia. Casterria borders Askordia to the west. Otherwise, the Dominion shares borders with the Trynsern archduchy of Suledaria, and the nations of Marthan, Zazimar, and the wild mountainous region of Askark's Bones. Relations with Zazimar are very poor, and a bloody indecisive war (the Trynser-Zazimar War) recently ravaged the entire region. The border remains heavily fortified and further conflict may be easily sparked.

== Settlement ==
Nine out of ten residents of Casterria lived along the hospitable coast and river valleys. Still, a substantial population lived near the border of Zazimar to support Imperial military forces. Like elsewhere in the Empire, humanity was the preeminent race living here. The second most common race in the settled areas was Atana halflings (though the Wami are extremely scarce). The Atana almost entirely lived in human cities, having no communities of their own larger than a village. The dusky skinned Quolien elves roamed the desert to the south, and increasing numbers made themselves at home in the cities, and there were communities of dark-skinned Bronze Dwarves in the mountains to the south. The northern Syran Elves and Iron Dwarves may have come with the other Trynsern people for business but none had very deep roots here. Igonian Gnomes aren't uncommon. The brilliant sun and heat did not suit the Thalosians at all.
