'''Esteira''', officially the '''Republic of Esteira''' ({{wp|Portuguese|Esteiran}}: ''República da Esteira''), is a country in northwest [[Gondwana]], bordered by [[Vaklori]] to the north, the [[Federation of Bana]] to the south, the [[The Danvreas|Danvreas]] to the east, and a maritime border with [[Tavaris]] to the west. A highly centralized state, the country is divided into
First existing as a small confederation of the people living near the western edge of the Danvreas Plateau, the confederation was pushed towards the coast due to orcish raids from the east. The confederation ultimately brought other indigenous groups into the fold, eventually beginning to reconquer lost lands starting in 1253. Conflict with orcs occurred until about 1274, when the Danvreas closed itself off to all foreigners and allowed Esteira to expand. Naval raids from neighboring [[Ni-Rao]] led to the centralization of power in the Confederation, with King Reinaldo I forming the Kingdom of Esteira in 1398.
