Alenarith is a continent on CivMC 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".

Alenarith borders the Medi Sea along its eastern coast, the Stony Sea at its north, the Merediem Sea to its southwest, and the Leona Sea and Southern Sea to its west. The nearest continents are Deluvia to its west, the Middle Archipelago to its north, and the Eastern Continent to its east.

Climate

Alenarith's climate is that of temperate biomes in the north and cold biomes in the south. The northern area is known for vast grasslands, steppes, and plains, as well as dense forests, and steep mountain ranges. The south is known for dense spruce tundras, steep snowy peaks, and some small patches of taiga forests. The south-western region is commonly referred to as the "Ice Shelf"

River Sassasetta

The River Sassasetta is a major river in southwestern Alenarith, which defined the borders of Venne and Anisso. Its mouth and source is the Meridiem Sea.

River Hatvarós

River Hatvarós is a River in the Duchy of Lunnoch and the Free Danzilonan Republic. It feeds into an unnamed lake near the Temporal Empire's Southern District and Nara. It defines the border between the Duchy of Lunnoch, and previously the County of Gallaibh, Anisso, and the Free Danzilonan Republic. It previously was the western border for the Iris Covenant.

River Vallerta

River Vallerta is a River in the Duchy of Lunnoch. It defines the Southern Lunnochish Border, and previously defined the borders of the Principality of Anisso, and the Condominium of Hwak-Castragno.

Silver Mountains

The Silver Mountains are a major mountain range, and the largest range in Alenarith. Named after the silver color that comes from its diorite deposits, the range stretches from southeastern Doom City, ventures south over West Danzilona and the Teo Caverns, then west over Nara and Dalgon, finally ending in southeast Crystalis.

The highest summit of the mountain range is Mount 'Av-a-rest, at y195. The mountain lies within Nara's eastern Ebi territory.

The Silver Mountains within Dalgon are known as Farthen Dür.

Ghicchan Highlands

The Ghiacchan Highlands, or the Luogoanisiti or the Anissite Highlands, is a major mountain range in Southwestern Alenarith. It defines the Sassassetta-Hatvarós River Valley, although sometimes some mountains in the entire Ice Shelf are included in the Ghiacchan Highlands. It is named after its location in the Ice Shelf, which the Duchy of Lunnoch refers to as Ghiaccha.

The Ghiacchan Highlands host an inhospitable and mountainous landscape, causing dramatic differences in elevation as you travel through them.

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. In the Duchy of Lunnoch, the name Allenaritte is used.
