Karsteres (Kar- stair- es)

Named after Saint Karster, who led the first expedition into the continent, Karsteres is different from every other continent on Pantheon (besides Fourteen's Seat ) because it is successfully being conquered. A joint effort between the Order and Knowledge Domains, the people on Karsteres are looking for a very different kind of understanding of their environment than those on Zestortes. First, Knowledge's Reach was founded, but not much progress was made in due to the inherent dangers of the continent. This culminated in the Slaughter of the Saints where all of the leaders of the original expeditions into Pantheon were killed. Those newly in charge of Karsteres decided they wouldn't take it sitting down. Instead they sailed around to the south and forced themselves up the river, founding Order's Grip instead. They then expanded in every direction, removing forest, redirecting rivers, whatever they wanted to shape the land to their own purpose. They have successfully carved a path back up to Knowledge's Reach and now the debate is on how they can literally move the mountain range to the Northwest to make the very dry center of the continent more inhabitable.
