Gataway is a small nation yet has a very diverse landscape with high mountains dominating the eastern part of the country plains and scattered patches of forests are found in the central portion of the country and gently rolling coastal hills lie on the west bordering the sea. Gataway's new frontier lands in the north consist of vast barren wastes following deforestation by the growing mining industry as well as long streches of steep hills and mountains by contrast the frontier lands of the south consist of rich fertile grass lands criss-crossed by winding rivers and shallow valleys as well as pristine white sand beaches all along the south western coast

History

Gataway was not always a sovereign nation and was for decades, a disputed territory between the Kingdom of Silvasnia and the Republic of Asgradia. However the land has always been the home of the Gatawans, who were a minority group in Asgradia and Silvasnia. After years of fighting Silvasnia and Asgradia agreed to divide the lands of Gataway, following this the Gatawans banded together and began to protest for Independance this led to several years of bloody war as both Asgradia and Silvasnia attempted to stamp out the Gatawan "rebellion." After years of fighting a guerilla war combined with terrorist assassinations of both Asgradian and Silvasnian officals the Gatawans were able to secure independance and an uneasy peace with its former rulers. Then in the year 154 A.I. ( After Independance) Asgradia began to encroach upon Gataway's lands once more thus another war broke out and following the battle of Kilnad in the Olstrum mountains the Asgradian army was trapped destroyed by the Gatawan national army and following this defeat Gatawan forces were able to over run the ill-equipped ill-trained Asgradian home guard and seize power over Asgradia
