After breaking away from Calandrian rule, Varcia has generally been considered to have been bordered by the Merchant Republic of '''[[Thessia]]''' in the south, and in the north by '''[[Kasmon]]''' and includes the northern '''[[Uyvrenthian River Territories]]'''. Some guides considered it to begin in Thessia, continuing all the way north until '''Kaldain's''' southern border, though most other cartographers and writers have made official the kingdom's borders in this matter, that being the former designation of territory. | After breaking away from Calandrian rule, Varcia has generally been considered to have been bordered by the Merchant Republic of '''[[Thessia]]''' in the south, and in the north by '''[[Kasmon]]''' and includes the northern '''[[Uyvrenthian River Territories]]'''.

Varcia (PRONOUNCED: /vɑr-si-ʌː/ var-SEE-uh ) is a major kingdom on the continent of Estora, on the planet of Ardûs. While it is made up of a rough landscape of rugged hills, hazardous mountain ranges and dense forests, it is home to a people unified unlike anywhere else on Ardûs. After the fall of the Immortal Emperor of Calandri in the year 941 CE, from the throne in Portarosa, Varcia's capital, the Late Queen Rosaria Castevel declared Varcia and independent kingdom no longer under the Empire's rule.
Etymology
The word "Varcia" is an old Calandish term meaning 'fertile land by the river.'
