Environment and Geography
Location
Kaltia resides upon it's own self-named continent, the largest landmass in Reydala's eastern hemisphere. Being surrounded from most sides by mountains and ocean, it is a supremely well defended position. The far western border made by the Muline river is the only Border that Kaltia shares with another country. Kaltia also has claimed the several islands off the Kaltian continents southern peninsula as their own, though they fall under no official district and few inhabit them (outside of Gnomes, that is). In terms of land, Kaltia is second only to Riscana in size.

History
Pre-Country Status
The Kaltian continent was once populated with many varying countries, each with their own cultures and customs. Many were founded by formally nomadic tribes who chose to settle by the influence of Regial and Hald. These different countries were often at odds with each other due to their very different benefactors, and many bloody and violent wars reigned between them. The continent was the staging ground for Hald's second crusade, and Kaltia remained at nigh-constant war for nearly seventy years after that catastrophe. It was not until Dizal's faith became cemented in Kaltia over 1280-1299 that open warfare declined and treaties between countries appeared.
