Anatamor

Anatamor was an island continent located in The Realm.

Situated in the middle of the One Sea, Anatamor was split into two continents; Lithua in the West and Thaniria in the East. Lithua became the location for the vast majority of the civilisations of Man, while Thaniria remained largely untamed and wild.

Anatamor was discovered in 2500 BR by a group of Giant explorers sailing from an unknown land after they were shipwrecked there following a storm. After the colonisation of Thaniria, the Giants founded their Kingdom using slave labour from the race of Man. In 1,390 BR, Man is banished to Lithua along with the Gaurmac Giants. This led to Man establishing separate civilisations in Norrland, Mittland and Surrland.

The Giant Kingdom fell into ruin in 1,310 BR and led to the Ettin Dynasty taking it's place, leading to an invasion of Lithua and the tribes of Man in 1,083 BR. The Ettin were defeated and the tribes of man began to prosper. Several hundred years later, the Queen of Beasts causes havoc in the Westerlords tribe, leading to the Beast War. She is defeated and is imprisoned in ice by the warlock Alfrus Carthamyr.

Many other conflicts ensue between the races of man, including the Ultor Invasion which saw the fall of the Westerlords and the eventual rise of the Kingdom of Lithua. The Children of the Queen of Beasts attempt to use their powers to gain control of the land in separate placesa and times, but are all defeated by the heroes of Man. After the Tidal Plague, the Kingdom is reformed into the Council of Lithuan Houses, however, the Council slowly becomes corrupted by greed and is mired in politics.

The last of the Queen's children, Anna, takes control of a powerful Surrish House and leads an army against the free houses. The resulting bloodbath culminates in the arrival of a Great Serpent called Kardrogath who defeats the witch and pledges himself to defend the realms of man. Eventually the corruption of the Houses grows to the point of the leaders wishing to kill Kardrogath for his association with the rogue House Gratham. The conflicts that ensued led to the Sinking of Thaniria, where the members of the Council used Majik to sink the entire continent of Thaniria. The other Great Serpents of the One Sea, sensing the disturbance, travel to invade Anatamor. The warriors of Man rally under Kardrogath's banner and they defeat the Serpents. Kardrogath gives his life in defence of the land. The entire populous become united under Emperor Barthizan of the Holy Empire of Free Peoples.
