Levantia is bound by the [[Kilikas Sea]] to the northwest, the [[Sea of Nordska]] to the northeast, by the [[Levantine Ocean]] to the east, by the [[Odoneru Ocean]] to the west, and by the [[Sea of Canete]] to the south. [[Kiro-Borealis]] lies to its immediate north and distant northwest and [[Sarpedon]] to its south. | ||
Levantia was first settled prior to the {{wp|Last Glacial Period}}, and was subsequently the home of many migrations as well as the rise and fall of many pre-historical cultures. By approximately 2000 BC, [[Gaelic people]] occupied a territory approximately coterminous with the modern [[Levantine Union]] and were the largest group on the continent, though their population density was relatively low. Also on the continent in ancient times were [[Gothic people]] and [[Slavic people]], though these groups occupied small, densely populated areas to the north and west of the continent. [[Istroya|Istroyan people]] settled small cities on the southeastern coast of the continent but evidently did not scout or explore much of the continent. The arrival of [[Latinic people]] in the millennium BC inaugurated Levantia into the [[Occident]] and dramatically changed the landscape of the continent, as a population explosion of Latins into Levantia lead to the creation of [[Great Levantia]] and laid the foundations for much of [[Catholic Levantia]] as understood today. Some of Great Levantia was overrun by Gothic and Slavic people from the 3rd to 6th centuries AD, creating many of the modern cultural boundaries that presently exist in Levantia. | Levantia was first settled prior to the {{wp|Last Glacial Period}}, and was subsequently the home of many migrations as well as the rise and fall of many pre-historical cultures.
