			The '''Duchy of Selanthia''' is a province of the [[Turamzzyrian Empire]] and the location of the Imperial capital of [[Tamzyrr]]. Presumably named after the first ruler of the empire, [[Selantha Anodheles]], Selanthia is located at the heart of the empire on the coast of the [[Great Western Sea]]. Selanthia is the political and cultural heart of the empire and the main base of the [[Imperial Navy]]. Also situated in Selanthia is the [[Hall of Mages]], as well as the [[Imperial Drakes]]. Additionally, Selanthia is home to many chivalric orders and the [[Patriarch of Koar]].
