Lemuria

Lemuria is an island located in the Great Eastern Sea. The small island is the home to the advanced, but stagant civilzation of the same name.

By the time of Golden Sun, Lemuria is probably the only remaining advanced civilzation remaining on Weyard. The island still retains its wonderful buildings and powerful psyenergy, and its people age little. They still maintain strong and amzing ships that can moved without a need of oar or sail. A Lenmurian might live for many centuries.

However, the glory of Lemuria is long past. It's people are bored, and there has been little growth in the civilzation since the Lighthouses were sealed. Nothing new has been built, and ancient parts of Lemuria have become submerged. Even knowledge of the outside world is lacking.

People
Lemuria's people, as well as any vistors, age very little. In Lemuria, time passes much more slowly. However, because of their long lives, they have lost vitaility. There are few children, and most people are extremely bored, doing nothing. Had King Hydros not order people to eat, the people might have stop doing that as well.

Despite the long life, death or disease is still not unknown.

Lemuria once produced a magical drought that would allow visitors to extend their lives, even after leaving Lemuria. However, because of the actions of Babi, the drought was ceased being produced.

Piers and Lunpa are notable caracters who had resided on the island.

Location
Lemuria sea is surrounded by many rocks and whirlpools of the Sea of Time. It is hidden in fog, and it is guarded by Poseidon. It is very hard for any ship to travel.

Government
Lemuria is ruled by King Hydros and a Senate. The king and his senators, most notably Lord Conservato, do not always agree on issues. The Kind resides in a large place, while the Senate works in the House of the Senate.

As of Golden Sun: the Lost Age, the Senate is aginst any form of change. King Hydros was perhaps much more progressive.

Influences
Lemuria seems to be influenced by Plato's Atlantis and the Lemuria myth.

Lemuria's republic system, ruled by a king, may have been loosey influenced by Plato's Republic.
