Inaria

"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

Geography

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.

Fauna & Flora

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.

Natural Resources

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.

"Inaria might be harsh and cold but theres a special beauty to living there. You get to experience a type of beauty that few other places in the world can match. The icy landscapes, the beautiful fjords and mountains and the aurorae make for an almost heavenly place of beauty. The people here might be hardy and strong and might come off as cold and uncaring at first glance but once you manage to get past the layer of ice, they will be loyal friends to you who would fight alongside you . I, Hans Christian Danielsen, High Seraph of the Imperium and the beacon of hope for mankind, swear that for as long as i breathe, shall protect this land from any and all that may oppose her"
Spoken by Hans Christian Danielsen during a speech to an annual gathering of soldiers from around the Imperium
