The nation hosts many publishing houses and book vendors responsible for a large percentage of Impelantic translation prints and publishing in Novaris. Well-known genres of literature include fantasy, romance, and historical fiction, as well as intellectual subjects such as martial arts manuals, chivalric studies, and theology. There is a long history of the written word in Antora; the first scripts recorded are carvings and scrollwork from the Impelanzan colonists in the Fourth Century. These detail aspects of everyday life and more prosaic subjects such as love, architecture, and religion.
Antoran authors created many remarkable works on chivalry and feudalistic society during the middle ages. Philosophical works such as de Cartevija's ''To Become an Ideal Cavalier (Convertirse en un Perfecto Caballero)'', and de Vries' ''Holy Actions of the Noble Man (Acciones Santas del Hombre Noble)'' remain popular volumes for anthropologists and scholars. At the same time, the fictional stories within ''The Great Deeds (Las Estupenda Hazañas)'' and ''Fifteen Virtues (Quince Virtudes)'' are widely regarded as classic examples of chivalric court prose.
