The birthplace of the [[Kamarain]] race and the oldest existing nation on [[Amethgare]] (with the possible exception of [[Thalas]]). Karantas is a large and powerful country located in the south-west and shares borders with [[Lonas]] to the west, [[Berellion]] to the north and [[Mantoni]] and [[Endon]] to the east. To the south lies the [[Sea of Esharra]], to the north-west the [[Azure Sea]] and to the north-west the [[Kamarain Gulf]].

Karantas has always proclaimed itself the true home of [[Humanity]], although it accepts only [[Amethyar]] as truly human and considers the Kamarain to be the purest of these races. Traditionally a stubborn and aggressive nation, Karantas has engaged in many wars with its neighbours in an attempt to either drive out the [[Eldren]] 'invaders' of Lonas and Endon or to subjugate the 'impure' half-breeds of Mantoni.

Since Berellion was once part of Karantas, it refused to acknowledge the breakaway state as a true nation - preferring instead to count it as a collection of rebel cities that would eventually be reclaimed.

The recent crushing defeat of Karantas at the hands of Mantoni, Berellion, Endon, [[Estalon]] and [[Isontar]] has forced a reversal of this policy however, as well as adding several more Karantian cities to Berellion and forming the borderlands with Endon and Mantoni into a buffer-state known as the [[Regency of Haelenfels]].

For centuries Karantas was a repressive theocracy ruled by the [[Karantian Cult of Alas|Cult of Alas]] based at [[Hightemple]] but the death of the [[Angel of Alas]] and sudden appearance of the [[Black Citadel]] annihilated the cult's leadership and led to [[Patriarch Tarankaer|General Tarankaer]], the highest-ranking survivor of the Karantian army, declaring himself Patriarch. The current capital of Karantas is [[Makar]].

Even after the fall of the old government it is still illegal to worship any [[God]] other than [[Alas]], although those cities that are now part of Berellion or the Regency enjoy much greater religious freedom.
