| - Keltia, 'Kingdom of the Fourth Chapter', is a collective term referring to all the land controlled by the Keltian People between the Morechan and Suler oceans. It is very large, but fairly sparsely populated in most areas and a huge expanse of tundra in the north, which is virtually uninhabited. It has a population of around 300 million people and an incredibly diverse range of species. Keltia is still in the early stages of scientific development - progress has been somewhat threatened by a series of violent wars in the history of the people, that have destroyed technological advance and made any research challenging. In addition, a league of sorcerors, Denorma Han Havescer (literally, 'Pirates of Fear'), known colloquially as Denorma, has sabotaged attempts to develop scientific advance for fear that it will become significant enough to overpower the use of magic. There are a number of islands and nations in Keltia - the largest of these is the continent of Sulangu, which is more than three times the size of the second largest and houses over 180 million people (excluding the tundra and islands to the north). This is followed by Enoinn, which only has a population of 25 million, then Hanuho, which has a population of 47 million. The Tesecan isles are inhabited by a further 22 million, and the rest of the population is made up from the smaller islands of Loray, Enthia, and Il-Soator as well as people living in the Nubyd tundra in the far north of Sulangu and ice islands north of the tundra's coast.
