Southwest Peninsular

The Southwest Peninsular cultural region includes the Southwest Peninsula proper and adjacent areas on the Eastern Continent, going up as far north as the Rakshay river and as far east as 60°E longitude.
The nations on the Southwest Peninsula proper are Ràl Atsèl, Tapiria, Raka Laña and Plo Tbrov. The region also includes Woz̧dz̧ã, Ujoza and Lethenne on the southwestern shore and Nacafi on the western coast of the grasslands. Historical nations of the region include Arborya and Rudsaȼen.
== History ==
Some of the earliest known settlements are evidenced in the Southwest Peninsular region, especially around the southern shore of the Bay of Rhahle, where the Proto-Southern Language originated from. Most of the early cultures of the region were human, but other sentient species like the amphibian Toede were present, too.
Several unifications of tribes led to the formation of the first nations, like Arborya and Rudsaȼen. Over the centuries, powerful Kingdoms like Ràl Atsèl, Tapiria and Nacafi expanded greatly and formed a trade network that also connected to the surrounding nations.
During the Age of Expansion, the First Peninsular War led to the annexation of the oldest realms Arborya and Rudsaȼen by Ràl Atsèl and Tapiria.
== Boundaries ==
The extent and boundaries of the region have cultural reasons. The grasslandish Centaur tribes in eastern Nacafi were perceived as a natural eastern border of the Southwest Peninsular region. Along the southern ocean shore, there used to be a large gap of civilisation between Lethenne and Teńku for most of the Age of Tribes, and the isolationist Rakshay tribes created a cultural border to the north.
The modern extent of the Southwest Peninsula cultural region borders Dtakatto and Kelas to the Northeast and Tenku to the Southeast.
