Sothfar

Sothfar is a mysterious country on the San'Dia continent in the extreme south of Eden-IV. It was the first nation to be established on the planet by terran settlers in 2111. From here, other settlers moved on to found or settle in the nations of Romera, Germanistan, Litovania, Nova Roma, Java, Texana and Checkistan. During the Psion War, troops from the planet Magera invaded Eden-IV. They were pushed back by the Edenian resistance, but upon withdrawal from the planet's surface, the Magerian Division XIII launched a strike with a newly developed radiation weapon on Sothfar. The weapon was designed to break any EM radiation, in order to disable the sorceresses of the country to use their powers ever again and to disrupt the Dream Sphere. The weapon also had other side effects: It turned San'Dia, which before had been a green paradise created by highly developed terraforming technology by the settlers, into a giant sea of dust, killing almost all inhabitants, including all natural living organisms. The other nations on the planet were spared by this primary effect, but they were affected by the complete disruption of radio-based communication all over the planet. Since then, all nations on Eden-IV use Palantis orbs or communicate online. Also, another side effect was unrecognized: The radiation emitted by the MaGenetic bomb led to a decay in human DNA all over the planet, most notably, it initiated an accelerated collapse of the Y chromosome, which would mean that in few generations, almost all of the population of Eden-IV would be female.
