Marcasia

Marcasia (Arithide Marcassein /mɔ'kassi:n/, Dethric Marcasan /'markəsa:n/) is the second largest of five continents on the planet Ilethes, after Istheusia, and straddles the equator, spanning five climate zones. Due to its almost-round shape and its location at the centre of all the continents, it is sometimes called the "gem of the world", or the "pearl continent".

The Irus River delta on the Artya coast is one of the three cradles of civilisation of the world, and its surrounding plains, nourished over the millenia by the shifting course of the Irus, are the most fertile in the world.
