Yinnini Enan

Running the length of the great Sea Desert of the Hestria lands, lies the Yinnini Enan. A river of such importance, that merely speaking its name into existance sprang forth the bountiful oasis that now occupy the three major cities along the rivers path, providing for all those present the wonders that only impossiblitiy can provide.

— Pere Terrance Pretcher

Written below is the account of interest following the Pere Terrance Pretcher as they explored the Desert River of the Hestria Lands and their tribes, involved is certain customs, histories, accounts, and recolections of the Rivers life and influence in the world around. Being as this is the first account, certain... aspects, should be taken with a grain of pure silver salt. Interesting, yet likely just painted salt.

Geography

The Yinnini Enan runs roughly 24055 miles fully acounted on all trails, paths, springs, corners, and other assorted directions in which water is so keen in which to run. Three major cities occupy corner positions in certain areas where Oasis have a habit of being formed naturally. Of course the people there denote the actions of these spawnings as a work of the divine, it is, however, far simpler to assume that they are natural occurances. It runs from the Hestrian Throat, a moutain range seperating parts of the desert from the rest of the desert, down to the expanse seas where it leads out with exceptional drowning force.

Though the lands around the river are, in a way, one of the least interesting ways for any of the mortals races to die, it is also a reliable ground of trade and resources. The high levels of Ethereal Energy present around the desert creates pockets of areas where Heater Crystals can be found, creating opportunities for even the most risk adverse opportunist.

Ecosystem

The river Yinnini Enan is a testament to the phrase: "Never let it be said that the creator was diligent in his coveting of tools". Aspects of the rivers many curves and turns date back to times with the very Creator themselves, the sex of which is still underdebate in the Consortium, where they had walked among the mortal kind. This is a wildly debated theory that leaves most academics grasping at straws for how to counter it, and as such has earned the name "String Theory"

Curves and corners, offshoots and lingering springs, each harkens back to a time long before the mortal influence on the enviroment. There are flora and fuana that exist with the delicate lands that, if taken from their home, have a habit of perfoming rather poorly. Attempts have been made to assist in the capture and containment of creatures and various plants from the area, but have all so far been unsuccessful.

Prominent intelectuals refer to the "String Theory" as the most present and provable theory currently in rotation around the events of the Desert and its being. Certain elements placed within the sands themselves have an element of nearly uncountable magic. Counterists to the theory refer to it as "poppycock" and "pure speculation of the delusional minds, oft effected by the medicines they take to see into the universe, surely you never believed those wouldn't have a side effect?". Of course no exact answer has yet been taken.

Localized Phenomena

There are three known and major phenomena that exists around the Yinnini Enan, and are refered to as the "The Three C's". Central locations, Contained fields of natural magic, and Creatures of unusual size. Alone, each one posses a threat to the existence of each person walking and living within the lands. Together, they become a threat far larger than the sum of their parts, similar to the linkings in the beard of the Great Jal-Qiesa-Fal-Amun, which glitters and shimmers in the purple night skies over the many curves and lengths of the Enan.

The "Three C's", as they refer to in the regards to civilizations within the Hestria Desert , mean that each settlement within the lands will occupy one of the following three things. They will either be Centrally located, Contained within a field of intense magical overflow, or be surrounded and prone to attacks from the most dangerous beasts known to the world.

History

The history of the Yinnini Enan is as detailed as it is sparse, though records have been kept of the events that brought the three tribes into their possession of control over certain areas, there exists little actual... factual rather, detail of the events. In so far as it is concerned they very well could have slit throats and taken lands, calling it a day on the desecated bodies of those below them. This is, of course, a rather morbid idea as to the functional acquiring of the lands that these tribes hold, that also does not account for the conflicts between the three, which is to say there are many. All in all its rather a mess, if this author is to be honest. And though flowery language may very well be the best way to describe the affairs as of present, it falls on this writer to acknowledge the fact that all sides are, in a word, crazy.

In the words of the author, it is stated that the three tribes of the Yinnini Enan are at war with each other, backstabbing and fighting over lands that exist. This is truth, though the conflicts are far less demanding than one would expect. Often times they are worded debates between academics, with occupying lands of civilians determing the winner. This often leads to popularity contests, and as one can expect it doesnt exactly bread the best of the best. Mostly just the most beautiful. Still the existance of the war between the forces is something that must be noted, as their peace is tenious, and subject to any number of changes throughout its existance.

There are Four cities of which to note in the lands of the Hestria along the Enan. They are, in order of importance, as follows: Putridfall, the First great city built into the massive Putrid Waterfall, whose scent is said to drive those that live nearby mad, though the inhabitants are known to speak of it as if it were a delightful drink. Something to imbibe on a hard day, to help one unwind. This is the city that the Great Jal-Qiesa-Fal-Amun resides within, in the scented palace of the four kings.

The second is the magical city of Somberspell, a city so coated in the magics and mysticism of the world around it, that merely stepping within the great wizards hall is enough to imbue even the most stalwart and stubborn with the knowledge of magic, enough at least to tie their shoes of open the door without need to use ones hands. The second in command of the Desert, Jal-Ful-Amun, resides here. He watches over the production of magical weapons and study of spells, a rather boring job, by his recollection.

The mechanical city of Sulfurwharf resides at another of the many waterfalls along the Enan, and has found ways to build it into both their religion and their technological advancements. It's said, and proven true, that even the poorest citizen lives a life of luxury by the standards of the Empire. Meaning they have nothing to really worry about in the ways of food and shelter. The city, it's said, provides. They speak of it, almost as if it were a living being in itself.

Finally, the great and jeweled city along the coasts, Crystalacre, watches the waves and sees the skies from where they reside at the end of the river. They are ones to look to the sea and the river for their support, recieving the blessings of those that wash away their troubles in the waters. Thanks to the flow of the river, they often find themselves in possession of a number of awe-inspiring items that the other cities have simply washed away. As they state, one groups refuse is another groups fertilizer, or something along those lines.
