'Eska Alfaria', officially the 'Dependancy of Eska Alfaria' is an overseas dependency of the Imperium of Amador in Greater Dienstad. It borders Holy Marsh to its east is governed by Hypario Davalur-Amador, son of the Crown Royal, Aleriel and her husband, Elduin Davalur. Eska Alfaria is the most populous overseas territory of the Imperium, with a population 6.2 billion. It's capital is Ainea Alfaria and its largest city Astraia. Founded in the late fourth millennium BCE, Eska Alfaria is an ancient land and is considered a beacon of Alfar culture in the region. The population of the territory lives along the coast and on the island of Cadwen while much of the country is covered in forests and farmlands.
Eska Alfaria, despite its size, is considered a major breadbasket of the Imperium, providing substantial amounts of barley and cocoa and various other foodstuffs to Kva Norale and the motherland. Rich, fertile lands untouched by industrialization have given the territory substantial sway in the politics of the Imperium. The badlands, an area of blasted fields of rock, and burning forests exists along stretches the Marshite-Alfarian border, is devoid of habitation and unsuitable for agriculture. It is cordoned off through series of walls and fences.
Eska Alfaria is famed for its integration of Alfarian-Marshite culture, stemming from millennia of cultural fusion between Holy Marsh and Amador. Eska Alfaria is an extremely diverse territory, with a large percentage of the population being Marshite. The Alfarian Sarda is headquartered in Astraia and is part of the Pathenko, the governing body of the territory.

As much as ten percent of Alfaria's land area is dedicated solely for nature reserves and parks. Three-fourths of naturally occurring flora and fauna are are now only found in dedicated nature preserves, including the Alfaria Botanic Gardens, among the most popular attractions in the state. There has been a substantial decline in natural space owing in part to extensive urbanization of limited land available. To combat environmental loss, the Alfarian government, starting in 2000 AD has set aside as much at 10 % of the city-state's land to preserve, protect, and cultivate local flora and fauna.
There are an estimated 10,974 species of vascular plants in Amaldorei, of which 4,078 are considered endangered. An estimated 3,65 species of mammals, 1,284 species of bird, 487 species of reptiles, and 113 species of amphibians native to Eska Alfaria.
