Domain of Yairan: Difference between revisions

Line 15:

The Great Erosion was ended by the [[Enarei]]. Yairan withdrew with the Namuril to the land that became the Domain, and raised the Așdilu Mountains around it as a barrier. The Namuril sealed the [[Gates of Origin]] behind them.

|Geography=The Domain lies within Khamria. It is enclosed by the ring of the Așdilu Mountains and narrows to the southwest, where it is bounded by the [[Mazissage Mountains]] and reaches the Southern Ocean. ~~~~

The mountains surrounding the Domain have been mapped, but the interior has not. [[Arânzeni]] scholars suppose that it consists of featureless plains of solid stone, unaffected by water, wind, or erosion.

Line 22:

The climate of the interior is unknown. Because water and air are presumed to be absent, scholars describe it as hot, dry, and still, without weather.

|Goverment and Politics=The Domain has no known government and is not claimed by any state. Any attempt to enter it is forbidden~~. ~~ The only known entrance is the Gates of Origin, in [[Lavierin]], which have been sealed since before the city was founded. It is not known whether entry is possible. No expedition is known to have entered the Domain and returned.

|Demographics=The Namuril are presumed to live within the Domain. They are no longer found elsewhere in Khamria, although sightings are reported and taken seriously.

|Culture=The Domain is central to Arânzeni religion. The Arânzeni regard Lavierin, built beside the Gates of Origin, as one of the few places where Yairan can be heard through the stone. [[Mount Arînzbianz]], on the northern edge of the Așdilu Mountains, is held to be the birthplace of the first Namuril, and the nearby sanctuary of [[Ieriţairan]] is a center for the study of earth [[Osia]].

Yairan's dwelling is believed to stand at the center of the Domain, on the first piece of earth ever formed.
