Dolchia (Willinkian: Δολχία) (Dolchian: Դոլչիա) (Cohenian: Дольчия) also known as Dolchis is a region located on the southeastern coast of Thalassia, Willink. Consisting of a costal strip and a rugged hinterland that gives way to the Vóreios mountains and Willinkian steppe, Dolchia is a noted ethno-region of Willink, formerly the location of the Kingdom of Dolchis which existed independently until 307 BC. One of the lesser populated regions of Willink, Dolchia's population is largely distributed along its coastline, with its two largest cities being Semíra, adjacent the coast of the Dayan Sea, and Ánion, situated on the Podgoras river. Dolchia in its west possess a fertile river valley and highly urbanized plain south of Lake Oreinós. The megalopolis of Ismaros, despite nominally being located in the region is generally not included in its geographical history, being founded instead as a Norian costal empórion.
