[b]Bios[/b]: Holy Land of Thangia: An old nation that has existed for over a millennia. Thangia has often been involved with diplomatic disputes with its neighbours and has become quite disliked for its religious zealotry. In the past centuries its importance has waned and its power fallen. It is only due to the harsh natural climate of the land that invasion has been avoided.

Archon Al’Mastiff IX: A foul-tempered old man, the Archon is well-aware of the low standing of the Holy Land of Thangia, and seeks to bring about change to its influence in the world. Ambitious and pious, Al’Mastiff vows to see the faith spread to all corners of Crypso.
 
[b]Geography[/b]: The Holy Land of Thangia is mainly a sunburnt land with most of its interior filled with the Great Desert, which stretches from the westernmost borders of Thangia eastwards to the heartland of the region itself. Most of the towns and cities of Thangia hug the coast, as the savannah there is much more suited to human life.

The two largest cities of Thangia are the coastal cities of Bahran and Khemustan, both of which are situated on opposite ends of Hangman’s Bay. The capital of Thangia is the holy city of Teccan which is located deep within the Great Desert. The city can only exist thanks to the small river which runs to it from the coast, a river named the God’s Tears.

A land of punishing heat and religious fervour, Thangia has long since fallen from its place as most powerful of the states of the world. Its ambitions, however, remain unchanged. The worship of the Burned God shall soon spread to all corners of the world.
