al-Ard

al-Ard is the name given to the land around al-Nahr. Before Adira, the Founder began her takeover, the entirety of the island was referred to as al-Ard, but in the years after (AA) the surrounds that are behind the wall are al-Ard, while the kingdom is Inqaa, and the in between are the Desert Wastes - a-Sahra.

Geography

It is a terrain with magic in the air. There are forests, expansive and shadowed. There are long fields of nothingness in between the shades of the trees. Caves and rock formations are plentiful. At the far end of al-Ard, right toward the edge of the land, lies al-Nahr - the most beautiful place on the entire globe. It is like seeing the Heavens in reality. al-Nahr itself is a glittering body of water, deep and shining, sun bouncing off its surface. It doesn't lead out into the ocean. It is surrounded by land. But a short walk away, and the ocean is there, and a short swim away from that, is the wall that encircles the entire island - Inqaa, al-Ard, and a-Sahra.

Fauna & Flora

Trees are everywhere, save in certain patches of the place, where things that kill trees roam. But they are no flora or fauna that the humans are accustomed with. But al-Hadiqa - that's where the real beauty is. The garden of flowers of magical properties, the thing that makes everything possible, that's where that is. There are forest animals - deer, birds, rabbit, foxes - but al-Ard is dangerous, and if the elements don't get them, the Fidayan and Naqi will.
