And beyond Suler's stormy jaws lies Keltia, Where Oll's hands showed whole strength. He cast in Sulangu great mountains, mighty ice Sheets where quiet, he could rest his mind. In Enoinn, made Oll great forests and creatures, Hanuho, riches of silver and gold, For merchants and kings could appraise And rule over its men. Sailors and warriors, Their duty to keep order under the Kingdom, And so shall they under Oll's command. And then, Not far from Morecha's compelling calm, the black isle of Il-Soator, where Oll hid the bleak And the dark, that he could spare great men of the lands. And then to Morecha, Oll did not go. So beyond there, nothing was made, And Keltia stood, the last moment before the end of Oll's creation.

~Verse 1, Chapter 4, Oll's First Chronicle of Creation

Keltia, 'Kingdom of the Fourth Chapter', is a collective term referring to all the land controlled by the Keltian People between the Morechan and Suler oceans. It is very large, but fairly sparsely populated in most areas and a huge expanse of tundra in the north, which is virtually uninhabited. It has a population of around 300 million people and an incredibly diverse range of species.

Keltia is still in the early stages of scientific development - progress has been somewhat threatened by a series of violent wars in the history of the people, that have destroyed technological advance and made any research challenging. In addition, a league of sorcerors, Denorma Han Havescer (literally, 'Pirates of Fear'), known colloquially as Denorma, has sabotaged attempts to develop scientific advance for fear that it will become significant enough to overpower the use of magic.

There are a number of islands and nations in Keltia - the largest of these is the continent of Sulangu, which is more than three times the size of the second largest and houses over 180 million people (excluding the tundra and islands to the north). This is followed by Enoinn, which only has a population of 25 million, then Hanuho, which has a population of 47 million. The Tesecan isles are inhabited by a further 22 million, and the rest of the population is made up from the smaller islands of Loray, Enthia, and Il-Soator as well as people living in the Nubyd tundra in the far north of Sulangu and ice islands north of the tundra's coast.
