Located south of [[The Dragonlands]], the Saturnal Lands were home to an advanced civilization that flourished during the [[Mage Wars#The First Chaotic Period|First Chaotic Period]], and comfortably coexisted with the Dragonlands until both were destroyed by the [[Marcon Alliance]]. Little is known about the Saturnal, the region has never been explored in modern times and no archeological survey has been made. What information survives comes from the oral tradition handed down by the dragons.

==People==
According to the dragons, no flights laid claim to the region. The culture that arose there was one of peace and trade. The peoples were masters of the land, and undertook great projects. They were particularly adept at water management, building an awe-inspiring network of canals and irigation channels. The best known among these is the so-called "[[Saturnal Bridge]]", which has been glimpsed by passing ships. Hundreds of miles long, this wonder of engineering connects two continents, and carries water from the rainy north to the arid south. The bridge has never been studied, but is thought to be some twelve millenia old. How exactly the people of the Saturnal were able to construct such a marvel and make it last is a mystery.

It is known they were forward-thinkers, and designed everything with enormous time-scales in mind. Even the poorest among them lived in stone houses meant to last eons. So much of their civilization is thought to be intact because they built primarily in mortarless stone.

The civilization, however, was on the whole peaceful. The dragons claim they were 'total pacifists' but this cannot be confirmed. They fell around the same time as the Dragonlands, but no evidence of a Marconian invasion has been found. The region was uninhabited by the [[Mage Wars#The Second Chaotic Period|Second Chaotic Period]].

==Recorded History==
When the [[Alliance]]formed at the beginning of the [[Ages#The Golden Age|Golden Age]], the [[Phoenix Tavern]] dragon flight laid claim to the Saturnal Lands, and cartographers from then on began to include the continent in the Dragonlands. While interest was great, the area was remote enough that without a large-scale colonization program exploration was not viable.

It was not until the publication of [[Scalgdorf's On Dragonology]] that a casual reference was made to the Saturnal, and further questioning of Phoenix Tavern revealed that indeed a lost civilization lay in the region.
