Library:Scipia Timeline

The page outlines important event in the histories of nations, situated on the continent of Scipia in Ajax. It is an arid continent, dominated by the Ninva Desert at its center. To its north lies the Periclean Sea, across which lies the continent of Belisaria. To its south lies the continent of Malaio, which Scipia borders by land. Scipia is comprised of the nations of Alanahr, Antilyea, Anyanwu, Aretias, Ascalzar, Charnea, Cyrassinia, Fahran, Itayana, Kembesa, M'Biruna, Mysia, Perateia, Sydalon, Talahara, Talakh, Tyreseia, Vardana, and Yisrael.
