Erdia

Erdia ['ɜ:diə] (Modern Arithide Erde [ɛʁθ], Dethric Erdan [ɛr'ða:n]) is a narrow coastal region on the southwest coast of Marcasia, consisting of a fertile alluvial plain drained by the Or river. It is known best for being the site of the Erda culture, considered the precursors to the modern Areth; other Neolithic settlements found include the Nuroi, Pisa and Duvai cultures. Today the region is dominated by the city of Kyris on the Or delta.
