Jurrian

Jurrian is an island chain that’s been broken apart by civil war. There are three main factions fighting to convert the other to their side. The first faction is called The Blackflayers. They were the first faction who showed when Jurrian was still harmonious and had the original goal of spreading the word of the new god at the time, Yerrovich. Yerrovich is the god of expression and art. However once The Blackflayers were formed, another faction emerged, called the Rainfists. The Rainfists wanted to combat The Blackflayers fighting for freedom of religion. While The Blackflayers weren’t technically forcing anyone to renounce Yerrovich, they did an obscene amount of preaching, which enraged some, forming The Rainfists. These two factions started fighting and debating, and soon after things turned violent, a third faction formed. This faction, called The Peacekeepers, were funded by many of the sultans of the various islands, and ordered to try to stop conflicts between The Blackflayers and The Rainfists. However things went from bad to worse after a corrupt leader of The Peacekeepers began having members of either faction publicly executed, which only enraged the other two factions more. The sultans quickly stopped funding The Peacekeepers, but members had begun doing it not for the money anymore. The Peacekeepers now act like a secret police, looking for Blackflayers and Rainfists, and using ANY means necessary to stop them.

Geography

Jurrian is a somewhat large chain that is 70% forest and 30% flatland. Almost all of the flatland has been industrialized over, but there are only a very small amount of towns because of the small amount of flatland for them to be built on. Most of the coastlines in Jurrian are hard to get to because of the thick trees on the edge of the island. There are two ports built on Jurrian, Old Port Wharf and Seven Lake Landing, and from those two ports there are two man-made trails which lead to some of the towns in Jurrian.

Fauna & Flora

There are many kinds of trees and other plants in the vast forests of Jurrian, though there are no species that are unique to the island. Almost all of these plants(Besides the trees), are dangerous in some way, most are poisonous. All kinds of creatures make their home in the forests as well since they have been left almost entirely untouched by outside civilization. The most common fauna to find across Jurrian are snakes, though monkeys, jaguars, and bears are also not an uncommon sight.

Natural Resources

There all kinds of trees across the vast forests of Jurrian, which hold all different kinds of wood, though none are particularly unique to Jurrian. There are also all kinds of other naturual resources found in this forest, the clothing made from the skin of many creatures is something only found in Jurrian as of now, and there are all kinds of berries and fruits which also can make some Jurrian residents a pretty penny. Almost all of the natural resources in Jurrian however, come from the forests loitering the chain.

History

Jurrian was discovered by a goblin named Axia Porqeet who was testing out his flying machine and crash landed on Jurrian. Without anyway to get with what she had, she decided to stay on Jurrian, and when a group of her friends came looking for her, they found her happily living on Jurrian. Soon a civilization had begun, and towns began being build. About 15 years later The Blackflayers were formed, and soon the organization had begun tearing Jurrian apart.

The crime rate in Jurrian used to be low but it has significantly increased since the war between the factions of Jurrian started. The most common race here are a tie between elves and half-orcs, but there are also a significant amount of goblins, half-elves, and dragonborn.
