    Faltha (Fal-thuh) is an imaginary continent of the north-western hemisphere of a world created by Russell Kirkpatrick. It is the main setting to his first trilogy; Fire of Heaven. The capital of Faltha is Instruere, home to the Council of Faltha and located on the Aleinus River. Faltha is an alliance of sixteen independant kingdoms.
    Russell Kirkpatrick spent all of 1985 making a huge atlas of Faltha so that the story (Fire of Heaven) would have strong anchors.
