Pangera

OVERVIEW:

Pangera is one of Midgard's continents and an important location in the series. The Eternal City, the traditional and technologically conservative city where the Asteri reside, is in Pangera. A human rebel group has been fighting the Asteri for forty years leading up to book one in what is referred to as the Pangeran conflict, although the fighting is still "confined to the Northern reaches of Pangera" (Ch 1).

Pangera was also where a rebellion—led by the Archangel Shahar and her commander, Hunt Athalar—took place 200 years prior to the beginning of book one. The rebellion was quickly defeated, and those who participated were killed or enslaved. Most of the planet's enslaved population lives in Pangera, where they serve the Asteri and various Archangels.
