Country
The Sara Dominion is a country on the east coast of Ethrys. The country encompasses the area of what was once known as the Hunting Grounds, before its namesake Clio Sara slayed Typhon and united the tribes to form the state. The twelve Hunters of Sara each started a bloodline that became one of the modern Saran Houses. The country is a monarchy, with the ruling house being the line of Clio Sara herself, House Sara. The current king is Theodore Sara. The Sara Dominion is comprised of the following regions:
Chimaera
The capital city of the Sara Dominion. This region also covers the northern area, up to the border with Dreygaard.
Oldegate
The western region of the Sara Dominion, with its city holding the space between the mountains on the border of Yuphral. Oldegate was founded by Britta of Shrike, when she created a gateway from the Feywild to there, becoming the first fey to step foot in Ethrys. After her passing, the region became under the protection of Saint Atalanta, who began House Atalanta as the Wardens of the West. Atalanta was born in the region, and was the slayer of its chimaera general, Ursa.
Lernaeus
The central region of the Sara Dominion. Lernaeus surrounds a large lake and is named after Saint Lerna, who originated from the region. Its major city is Drachma, a trading city that sits on the edge of Loch Lerna. After the Fall of Arkas, this region now also politically encompasses what used to be the Arkassian region.
Vess
The eastern coastal region of the Sara Dominion. Port Kal’vess is its major city, founded where the chimaera general Scylla used to hunt due to the large amounts of aquatic fauna living in the region. It is named after House Vess, who themselves are named after the hunter who slayed Scylla.
Hesperides
The jungle region in the south-western edge of the Sara Dominion. Some of this region also overlaps with the dominion of the Daymora Khaganate, so there are often disputes over which country the area truly belongs to.
Bas’taurus
The southern region of the Sara Dominion. This area includes the regions of the cities Regulus and Archela. The climate is hot and arid, consisting mainly of savannas. The region of Archela that used to be under the control of the chimaera general Antares is more desert-like, with Archela itself being built on top of an oasis. It is partially named after House Taurus, who have significant influence over the region as a whole.
