Etymology
Ultmar is a term derived from the original Ecclesiastical Latin term, "Ultramurus", which means "beyond the wall(s)". The term was used in Great Levantia to refer to everything to the north and west of modern day Urcea. Consequently, though Ultmar is an exonym, the term entered common parlance and was accepted by the natives of the region during the Medieval Period.
