Cauthria was an island country in southern Greater Galwyndor during the time of the Great Purge. Ruled by the Meninar, a race of half-elves (half-human, half-elf), it was one of the most prosperous kingdoms. It was made up of sixteen islands, which were known as the Wyrmback Isles, and it was all that remained of the once-vast Cauthrian Empire. Like the elves, the Meninar were killed off during the Purge because they had magic in their blood; after the downfall of the meninar, the local human population took control of the islands until the Time of Decay.
