The Republic of Telamon forms the southern "boot" on the continent of Macon. It was formed in 2036, making it one of the oldest nations in Terra.

Geography and Climate
Telamon is generally cooler than the rest of Terra, being in the northern hemisphere. The urban State of Migadon is an exception, as it enjoys mild temperatures and a temperate climate.

In the northern States of Ferene and Lirona, the Lironese Mountain Range cuts the nation off from Hutori, its only physical neighbor. The State of Sevescia benefits from the Yutori Delta, which floods every spring and replenishes Sevescian farms. The State of Antepec is heavily forested, and provides Telamon with a thriving lumber industry.

Telamon's two main rivers, the Tyr and the Amon, descend from the Lironese Mountain Range, and join together to form the Yutori Delta.

The People
Telamon's people are some of the oldest and proudest in all of Terra. Native Telamonians can trace their history back to the first immigrants to Migadon, the ancient tribe of the Tela, who are thought to have emigrated from the southern continent of Seleya. The language of the Tela, known appropriately as Telan, or Ancient Telamonese, is not the linguistic ancestor of modern Telamonese, and the two languages are almost completely incomparable, with only a few exceptions.

In ancient times, the Tela came into conflict with mainland Makonese as they pushed their way onto the continental mainland from Migadon. However, two thousand years later the two peoples live in peace. Many scholars actually claim that the technologically advanced Tela were in the end assimilated by the Makonese.
