Athar is a country of rain, fog and more rain. Like a ragged tooth jutting from the continent, Athar extends out to encircle the warm waters of the Nimar Sea, which separates it from Mirtar to the north and Lethan to the east. To the west of Athar lies the colder Suleun (Soo - leen) Ocean whose tides bring traders from far off Leimos and Zadhaz. The two bodies of water meet south of the tip of Athar and their interaction leads to the fierce storms which wrack the coastline for much of the year. As one moves north from the coast into mainland Athar the land begins to rise, becoming hilly and heavily forested. From the forested foothills of northern Athar rise the craggy peaks of the Lidderhon (Little Horn) mountain range which runs all the way into Koeth.
Athar as a nation is both very young and very old, both cosmopolitan and superstitious, a nation with a fragmented identity. The reason for this dual nature lies rooted in the past, in the conflicts played out on its soil.
