Kadonia

Etymology and history
In approximately 1300 A.D., monarchs of seven large nations were at constant war with each other on the continent of Farkrus that now spans over 25,000,000 square kilometers. With the closing of a conflict, they tried to come to an agreement that peace is preferable in favor of science, discovery, and finances. To that end, in an attempt to prolong the savoring of peace, they agreed to cease all hostilities until the conclusion of a new project to appoint a combined group of explorers, botanists, zoologists and general care attendants such as doctors and chefs to circumnavigate and chart the world and identify the species of the planet's wildlife.

When the group was assembled, they named themselves "the Narkra" (roughly translated as "the satellite") and appointed Garin Wrunal Hazz as leader. They traversed the world for 65 years and returned to the kingdoms with a wealth of knowledge of the world. As a reward from the monarchs, and to evade altercation, they allowed Hazz to name the planet. He named it "Kadonia," after his only daughter that was taken by an uncurable disease.

The word "Kadonia" originates from a now archaic language and roughly translates as "seeking" or "yearning."
