Atavia is a roughly island in the [[Sea of Nysdra]] off the eastern coast of [[Cusinaut]]. The island is predominantly flat and dominated by grasslands in its center, with the occasional forest dotting the landscape and especially near the coasts. Some scholars argue the presence of forests by the coast suggest that the forests were deliberately introduced by humans to improve the availability of wood to build canoes and boats, but this theory is hotly contested. Most of the major settlement sites are clustered on the coasts. The island's Cathedral City, Keuka, is located roughly halfway up the coastline in a major bay on the east coast of the island. Keuka, with a population of 25,000, is the largest settlement on the island by a large margin, and has been the most significant recipient of Occidental investment since the island came under Urcean control. Keuka Bay, the most important inlet on the island, serves as a fishing hub.

Atavia is considered to have an {{wp|Oceanic climate}}. On average, it is warmer than mainland areas of Cusinaut directly to its west owing to the effects of [[Nysdra Sea]] currents. Atavia has wet winters and summers with mild temperatures throughout both seasons. Accordingly, Atavia features a wide array of flora and fauna acclimated to more mild temperatures. Atavia's flora and fauna is more similar to those in the southern areas of Cusinaut, such as those in the [[Constituent_states_of_New_Harren#New_Harren|Rectory of New Harren]], and in many cases the same species of plants and animals are present in both locations. It is generally assumed that these organisms had a wider range that encompassed both Atavia and southern Cusinaut prior to the [[Nysdran Collapse]] flooding.
