Arsuria

Arsuria (pronounced Ar-sir-ee-a) is the fourth largest country in the New World, and is found on the continent of Loustehd. The once prosperous nation of Arsuria has since become somewhat of a wasteland. Their economy based heavily in the textile industry, they saw fit to divert rivers and tap into lakes to supply their large cotton fields. The lack of natural water sources quickly drained the surrounding land and allowed for the continued expansion of the Oobrong Desert, which now covers much of the country. Once the largest river in the known world, the vast and bountiful White River is now nothing but an enormous scar with a trickle of glacial water in its bed. The coastal regions are mostly salt marshes to the south, and hard, rocky beaches and cliff faces to the east. The country is ringed on the northwest and north borders by the aptly named Razor Cliffs, the tallest and most treacherous stretch of the Camberge Mountains. On the other side of the mountains lies The Principality of Maggan, and to the southwest, Arsuria shares a border with Ter'sholt. Arsuria’s capitol, Riverport, is claimed to be the earliest permanent establishment in the New World, and was home to the famous naturalist Charles Mabrook. Before settlement, the town of Poltak held the name of capitol, and even now remains the largest city in Arsuria.
