Fonticia is a human kingdom in the eastern part of Auseka. The kingdom is formally an absolute monarchy with the king owning all lands within Fonticia and able to appoint and replace even nobles at will. However, in reality the king is bound by soft powers and can only allow himself to excercise such power as to not upset the balance and trust of his nobility. The unfortunate and universally lamented assassination of King Fernando II in 93 BV serves as a remember to all kings to this fact.

Fonticia is a fertile and productive land with access to mines, forests, fields, rivers and the ocean. It considers itself a great nation but its fate has ebbed and flowed over time with the talent of its kings and the intrigues of its nobility. Its greatest loss was in the years 28 BV to 19 BV when the small and storm-torn Hampy conquered considerable parts of the coastline and founded colonies there. A mixture of incapable military leaders appointed for political reasons and crippling intrigues among the Fontician nobility caused this war to become a desaster. While most of the coastline could be reconquered in later years, Hampy still holds several coastal areas and the island of Saiar. A cease fire was signed in 11 BV followed by a peace treaty in 24 AV which does not formally cede these lands, but recognizes Hampy "control" of the areas - for the time being in Fontician understanding.

Fonticia borders Vericum to the west, and has enjoyed peace with the empire since just two years after its founding. The northern border with Biesen runs mostly through the mountains and is also peaceful. The dwarven kingdom of Alheimia is a valued trade partner and has been at peace with Fonticia for centuries. Relations with Schap to the north-east fluctuate, with the borderline often in dispute mostly due to religious conflicts between Ebronism and Seogism, the dominant religions in Schap and Fonticia respectively, both of which have followers on both sides of the border.

Fonticia is also the land with the last known Centaurs tribes and is south is filled with Centaur ruins. Parts of its culture are inspired by if not rooted in Centaurs or Centaur legends. Fonticia is proud of this ancient heritage and carries the Centaur in its flag as well as in decorations and statues throughout the land.
