Alenarith
Alenarith is a geographical region on CivMC referred to as a "continent", located in the +,+ quadrant of the map. It is one of the six large continents on CivMC, and is the third largest continent, composing 16% of the server's total land area.
Alenarith is densely populated, and was heavily settled by various groups on the first day of CivMC. As of June 17 2022, the continent is completely claimed, with no land remaining unoccupied. The name "Alenarith" was chosen by the Southeastern Continent Naming Convention, which was attended by representatives from 10 continental nations, via a democratic vote among nation leaders. The word comes from the Falkorston words alenar marith, roughly translating to "harmonic quadrant".

The Silver Mountains within Dalgon are known as Farthen Dür.
Regional Names
While the majority of citizens and nations of the continent call their home Alenarith, there are those who use alternative names outside the naming convention in addition or exclusively. Noteable users of alternative names is the nation of Truidencia who uses the name "kova" as their official name for the continent. The name is derived from the word "Chuowa" which originates and is used in Gensokyo, but which has also been used by citizens of Danzilona on occasion. A line of railway bears the name. For a short time following the name vote, some members used the alternative name "Nanto"[2], though the usage has seemingly completely vanished.
