Altans : ancient capital of the Hàhan, a vast city built on three concentric canals at the southernmost end of the continent of Herenor, and mistress of the seas for over a thousand years. It was from this great metropolis that the Hàhnorens set out and conquered so many lands, finally coming into contact with the Egyptians and the Minoans and Mycenaeans.
