Sonara

"Sonara, the core of modern-day industrialism, and the home land of the biggest war machines ever known to Pokémon. Sprinkled with culture, chivalry and false ideals of freedom, of course."

Sonara is a continent to the far west of the world, with the Devouring Sea on its western shorelines. It extends for 4500 miles and is the second most populated continent and the most advanced in matters of techmaturgy. It is separated from the continent Antara by what is known as the Arturian Channel. It belongs in the Oras region of the world.

Sonara, in particular Ancient Authena, is the birthplace of modern world culture. It plays a dominant role in the Known World affairs, especially after the start of its colonialism. Between the 50th and 53th centuries, Sonarean nations controlled at various times Coastal Antara in the Oras region, the most of western Osenia, including Contena, and the overwhelming majority of Carajol Sea, including the Novayas.

The arrival of the sky island Exathor, farther in the north of Sonara, in the 54th century, set off the Industrial Revolution in Sonara, with Aerdom as its center, which in turn gave rise to radical social, economic and cultural change.

Geography
Southern Sonara consists of the Dutchy of Aerdom, otherwise known as the Country of the Free. In northern Sonara, the infamous Dragonlords have made their homeland and called it the Kingdom of Myrdraeron, ruled by the Iron Colossus. In between of these two great countries lie the independent city-states.

Although Sonara is divided into diverse regions and countries, it is all unified by the One Faith. Since the conception of the political entity called the Government, 700 years ago, all Sonarean nations have conformed to the religion of Arceus and have agreed to be protected by the Government. It is where the Government has the most influence and firm grasp.
