Marca de Pantera was a realm located around the Western Badlands. It's territory constituted all of present day Heen and several more regions that currently belong to Sint and Ashborn.

It is believed Marca de Pantera fell towards the end of either the Second Age of Beluaterra with reports from the period citing the undead hordes in the area as far more powerful than their comparatively tame southern counterparts. However, the fall of the realm was due mostly towards the monarch's inefficient way to maintain his realm while combating the undead.

The realm of Voghor, a realm situated in lands around what is currently Avalon, met a similar fate. Both realms had centralized capitals in strongholds, but were unable to move their armies between capitals and cities quickly enough to successfuly maintain a defense.

With Thalgalez as Marca de Pantera's capital, they could only recruit from a very small region with little income, and their richer and more powerful cities were too distant to defend. As opposed to moving the capital to Firbalt, as proposed by Distorted Psych, the government remained in the desert. With the loss of Tor, which could have been easily recovered, the government decided to abandon Firbalt and fortify their capital. With the loss of Firbalt, and many other regions, the realm was unable to maintain militia; the survivors perished against the undead.
