"Inaria, birthplace of mankind and the cradle of human civilization. From the southern reaches of this continent, man first arose and over time, spread over all other parts of Elladia. The calm forests, cool northern winds, northern lights, mountains and so many more, make this truly a natural wonder of the world. The gods have gifted us this beautiful land, and we must protect it."
An excerpt from a lecture about the continent Inaria, being delievered at a military school
The geography of the Inarian continent Varies from the northern and southern parts. The southern parts mostly consist of dense elevated woodlands in the far southern reaches, With pine and coniferous forests and rising terrain as one goes further north. Eventually They give way to permanent snowfields with A few trees here and there and some shrubs growing around. Around the city Of Rylanus, The climate is bitterly cold and dark as
a result of the proximity to the north pole of Elladia. The most intriguing feature of this region are the gigantic auroras that appear from time to time and streak across the sky in beautiful streaks of red, green, blue , golden and very rarely, purple and turquoise. The northern polar regions are also quite mountainous, With chains of gigantic mountains rising out thousands of metres into the sky with their jagged peaks. The northern reaches of Inaria are also a very popular tourist destination, as it is one of the few places On Elladia where one can view aurorae.
The flora and fauna of Inaria vary depending on which part one is in. In the south, One can find the large forest wolf which is well known for being one of the fastest animals on Elladia. The trolls however, Rule this part of the
continent as the apex land predators, due to their finely developed sense, extreme strength and durability, and ability to regenerate even the most grievous of wounds almost instantly, provided that they have sufficient nutrients inside of them. Dragons are also widespread throughout this region, attacking livestock and sometimes cities for food to feed their young. In the more marshy areas, various sorts of reptilian beasts lie, including the gigantic fire Salamander that manages to strike fear in the heart of even the bravest of Imperial warriors.
In the north, One can find the forest wolfs larger and deadlier cousin, The ice wolf. The polar troll is also found here, which can not only use cryomancy for combat purposes but can also dig underground and has far far more strength than its southern cousins.
Inaria is the most resource rich region in the entire Imperium. There are huge sources of gold, silver, iron, aluminum and some other rare metals that find a wide range of applications in the Imperium. Mining is quite difficult in the northern parts because of the bitterly cold temperature, snowstorms , blizzards and attacks by wild beasts make operations in this area quite difficult at times. As a result, the mining equipment has to be built sturdily and more ruggedly than the ones in other regions and the mining teams need to be heavily guarded. The southern parts of Inaria are mainly used for growing food for the northern parts while the southern lands receive minerals and other heavy metals from the north.
Heya, ok so inapologizenif this one isnt as good as my other critiques. I'm not a fan of geography so I'm biased. Irsnhard to make geo fun for me. Idk why. either way it seems just fine. Your writing flows ok though I see quite a few over capitalized words. Your detail is pretty good as well. You convey this land very well. Something I don't see is its people. While the sanguine imperium is mentioned you don't tell much of the sentient races here, ethnicity or culture. I'm curious about who lives here, not just the government or nation that is over them. What is it like here as opposed to other regions?
