'''Levantia''' is a continent in the northern hemisphere of Otarsis. 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''' is a continent in the northern hemisphere of Otarsis.

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.

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 [[Lagyar people]], though these group occupied small, densely populated areas to the west and east of the continent, respectively. [[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 people from the 3rd to 6th centuries AD, creating many of the modern cultural boundaries that presently exist in Levantia. | ||

Known historically by the residents of so-called "[[Catholic Levantia]]" as [[Gothica]] and as part of the greater concept of [[Ultmar]]. Central Levantia is typically understood to mean the territory west of the [[Deric States]], north of [[Urcea]], and south of [[Diamavya]]. Depending on the context, western [[Diamavya]], may be considered part of Central Levantia, but its ethnic ties to groups commonly found in Northern Levantia often cast it into that designation. | Known historically by the residents of so-called "[[Catholic Levantia]]" as [[Gothica]] and as part of the greater concept of [[Ultmar]].
