Nation on the surface of Sinai, in the Nordika Region, on the north side of the continent of Ai. Olympia is located to the south and east of Bosch, east of Kroz, south of Titania and the Wandering Roams, and northwest of the Lake of Langour. Its capitol city, Parthos, is located on the cliffs overlooking the Lake of Langour. Olympia would be a long-forgotten "backwater" surface country, except for two related factors. First of all, once upon a time, it was a very influential cultural center, to the point where, for a time, Olympian became a major trade language in the region, rivalling the use of Rephidim Standard. Parthos is held by some to be the "birthplace" of the "modern" understanding of how magic works. Second, Parthos is somewhat of a tourist attraction for the wealthy and well-travelled, since its scenic ruins harken back to a bygone era of glory and power. Olympia is dominated by Katthas, though it also has a large number of Khattas as well. Olympian is the official native language, but Rephidim Standard is also in wide usage -- especially in the capitol city of Parthos.
