M'kavia

M'kavia, also known as "Souterre" as well as simply "the ancient world," was the world's first cultural epicenter. The archipelago to the west was the destination of Xi the Navigator near the end of the Holy Wars, promised to him by the Gods Akuya and Tsuya to be the most suitable location for the world's first major Human settlement. Xi would refer to this settlement as simply the Human Kingdom, while later inhabitants of the country began referring to it as Lyudia. Its capital Aestripol, or the city of the stars, was the world's first mega-city and the home of history's first major architectural marvels. The M'kavian Kingdom for whom the entire region is named was established at the very end of the Holy Wars when their God M'kayo was expelled. His burrow, an enormous hole in the eastern part of the region, was turned into the city of Mixios. Mixios stood for many years as the world's largest city, unrivaled for centuries until the ultimate growth of Hvalia's Everfjell and later Charleston in Gransylvania. Mixios would later be the home of the ruthless Ärkedyan Empire, a brief though highly influential power that would propel the world head first into the Dark Ages. This region's subdivisions include the Lyudian archipelago to the west, the M'kavian desert to the northeast, the Kaspi Plains and its accompanying islands in the center, and the fabled island of Avalon to the south.
