Alshar is a continent located in the Eastern Hemisphere of the globe. It has been referred to as "the crucible of empires" as it is where many empires (both occidental and oriental) have been created and decimated.
Etymology
The continent has several widely used names. The most commonly used, "Alshar", descends from the Arabic word الشرق (lit. "east", "alshrq"). The term is thought to have originated with Occidental explorers being sent to the continent east of Audonia, referred to the explorers simply as the "eastern land".
The continent is known as Ularie/Ularia in the Burgundian language, loosely meaning "the domain". This from the Bagaganuurese word "Ulus" for "tribal domain/empire" referencing the plains of northern Punth that was a part of their empire in the medieval era. While the BWATC's control of the whole of Alshar was short, functionally only from 1750-1810, the impact was lasting. Many countries in Alshar speak Burgundian as a second language and this has facilitated easy trade between the nations and a sense of regional shared experience. The BWATC also built a vast system of roads, particularly along the western coast the further facilitated the consolidation of later nation states. Alshar is subject to the Renauld Doctrine, a Burgundian proclamation of shared hegemony with Pukhtukwa in international affairs in the region. Alshar has a population of 2,934,373,403 as of 2025.
