Unscany (Undughu: hołikaní, 'sweet place', Torican: horikai) is a historical, geographical, and cultural region of northeastern Outer Joriscia, traditionally including the Undughu Coastal Plain and the Lower Nadrova. It is closely associated with the Torican Bay, whose name literally means 'sweet sea' and is derived from the same Undughu root.

In very ancient usages dating to the early Undughu civilisation, Unscany also included Greater Doyotia, with the 'sweet sea' apparently actually referring to the Gulf of Joriscia in this period.
