Losteria

**Losterian**, in original Ceyrahelian nomenclature: **The Sacred Lands**, is a land of unspoiled beauty and natural magic. Its inhabitants, living in scattered settlements across this massive archipelago, are a spiritual people who seek to live in harmony and balance within the planet.

Of course, PROJECT colonised it and controlled it, which the citizens admitted that they were FAR worse than Nordics.

## Overview

Usually the lands of Losteria live in a state of contested peace, several factions within the region are presenting conflicting viewpoints regarding Losteria's future. The Virtue, led by Tristanna herself, strives to return to Ionia’s peaceful and pacifist tendencies, while the Order of Shadows, led by notorious foreign traitor and assassin Shirrako, seeks to turn Losteria into a militaristic state that can enact vengeance upon Nordival and all those who would seek to harm the sacred lands of Losteria.

The people of Losteria's cities and many provinces have always seen themselves as part of the natural environment, and adapted their ways to live alongside all manner of fantastical flora and fauna. To outsiders, such a close relationship may appear strange, but it is through this interdependence that both the land and its inhabitants have thrived for countless generations.

A land of peace and majesty, **Losteria** is a largely isolationist nation that strives for balance in all things.

## Locations

* **Naymori**: Serves as the capital of the country, which spans the eastern half of Losteria and is home to various villages, prestigious schools, sacred magical gardens, and the iconic Placidium of Naymori.
	+ **Grunthel**: The most recognised province of Naymori. Typically known to host Tristanna's resistance group.
		- **Temple of Grunnar**: The headquarters of Tristanna's resistance group.
	+ **Frakona**: An outback province, known for a minimal amount of urbanisation with emphasis on the environment's cleanliness.
		- **Temple of Darkness**: The Order of Shadows' headquarters, which was apparently destroyed when Shadow has accidentally left in favour of affiliating with PROJECT.
	+ **Pacita Farmland**: The largest grassland and coastal region of Naymori, Losteria.
	+ **Placidium of Naymori**: Situated at the heart of the continent, the Placidium is one of Losteria's most sacred places. Many have journeyed here to study at renowned schools, or meditate in its wild, magical gardens. Many of Ionia's most successful diplomats have spent at least some time studying at the Placidium. Undoubtedly, this was why it became such a tempting target for the invading armies of Nordival. It was at the Placidium that the people of Ionia finally took up arms against their Nordic enemies. But the cost of that day's victory was immense, and some now question if fighting back was the right decision, since the harmonious balance of their homeland may have been lost forever.
* **Ceyrahelian**: Western side of Losteria. Named after the realm that separated Losteria, Masada, Avarshi and Valenthia into a single dimension.
	+ **Futurama**: A small city known for their technology. They are the most advanced compared to everywhere in the country.

## Trivia

### General

* Majority of its first citizens are of Chazi and Rojinese in nationality, which explains their characteristic facial features that everyone in this planet are accustomed to, so it gives the impression of plastic surgery.
* Though Nordics have done great damage due to their lost war against them, they actually respected them. In fact, both nations have somehow lessened their wars against each other owing to one Nordic, massive and enraged goliath known as Craig Taggart.
* Nordics and Losterians have an ongoing war prior to Nexonia Prime: PROJECT.
* Losterians are naturally hospitable and friendly. In fact, they lack any form of racism and discrimination throughout their entire history.
* Tied with Valenthia for the amount of supernatural phenomenons.

### Developmental Notes

* Losteria isn't exactly a vibrant country in terms of people. Their people are known to be incredibly easy to provoke, owing to their experience of having war with the Nordics.
* Losterians hate Nordics with great passion.
* At some point, Losterians eliminated their one-sided perspective of the Nordics, with some even giving Craig Taggart a place to live, which was somewhere in the forests.
* This country is known to be the best in terms of Hand-to-hand combat. Expect even villagers to defend their village with nothing but crude weapons and unarmed combat. However, Iceborns are the second best, but are superior in terms of weapon expertise.
