Zanaeris

Zanaeris is the world where Final Fantasy R is set.



Venaar
Venaar, or the eastern lands, are primarily made up of arid wastelands. However, in the western edges of the territory, grass and greenery are not uncommon. Venaar was the starting point of the Venaarian Empire's conquests.

Gehzen Peninsula
The Gehzen Peninsula is a large landmass, jutting out into the Sea of Tears from the territory of Dallam. It is comprised of woodland.

Dallam Mainland
Dallam, or the mainland, is the primary landmass in Zanaeris, alongside Venaar. Its is a fertile land, with a good balance of terrain.

Yyhnaer Island Chain
Located in the Sea of Tzgham, the Yyhnaer Islands are between the larger territories of Venaar and Dallam. They are mountainous regions.

Moryl'ia
Moryl'ia, more commonly known as the Dead Island, is a nigh-on mythical place. Nothing is known about it.

Venaarian Empire
The Venaarian Empire rose to prominence in Year 021 of the Age of Conquest, after a large war between Age of Consolidation. Establishing a large and disciplined military, the Empire quickly expanded to the Venaar-Dallam border. After Emperor Solorian I rose to prominence in Year 059 of the Age of Conquest, the Venaarian Invasion began, with the Imperial legions marching on Dallam and Gehzen. They faced stiff resistance in the mainland, but managed to break through in the north, striking into the heart of the Dal'allaman Republic. The invasion of Gehzen was also marginally sucessful, but guerilla tactics slowed down the advace. The Imperial invasion of Gehzen also forced the Republic's hand, who sought to conquer Gehzen before the Empire.

Dal'allaman Republic
The Dal'allaman Republic is the longest standing nation on Zanaeris, founded in the early years of the Age of Consolidation. They capitalised on the fertile soils of Dallam and the large expanses of coast. Settlers had colonised most of Dallam by the end of the Age. By Year 001 of the Age of Conquest, the Republic was the largest faction, with a happy populace and a substantial army. However, in C59, the Imperial Invasions began. Crown Prince Zah'haer personally led the main Republic army to Nisyrus Fortress, where he successfuly held out against the offensive. However, this move left the north critically open to an offensive, which the Empire capitalised upon; breaching the Republic defences and eventually capturing the large city of Cuhzan'laer.
