Nova Istroya

Nova Istroya is a term referring to the region of Urcea including the province of Sanctissimo Sacramento and much of southeastern Gassavelia, although some broader definitions of the term also include parts of Burgundie. Halfway is also occasionally included within Nova Istroya but is typically included as part of the Islands. Nova Istroya specifically describes much of the southeastern coast of Levantia and southern coast of Urcea that was the site of settlement by ancient Istroyan peoples during Antiquity. The region, which is largely separated from the rest of Urcea by a southern portion of the Hortus Mountains, runs along the coast of the Sea of Istroya facing Audonia. As the most geographically accessible portion of Levantia to the east, the area has long been a prominent location of cultural exchange and mixing, though the Istroyan legacy still remains the most prominent.
