A Summary of the Lands of Rynn

Bivir - Bivir was the first land ever found. It is one of the largest as well. The people there are called Bivirians. Bivir stands for the initials of my name - BVR. My sisters and I thought it was cool if we named our lands after our initials, and thats where Jatir, Kigir, Kilir, and a few other lands (all ending in "R") came from.

Kigir - Kigir was the second land ever discovered. The people there are called Kigirians. Kigir has always been under the influence of Bivir and has mostly the same rules and protocol as Bivir does.

Kilir - The people here are called Kilirians. At first the Kilirians were a very simple folk, but over the years they grew into a strong country. From this country comes many famous exploreres who have discovered new animal species. In fact, Kilir is abounding with wildlife. More new animal species are discovered every day.

Hijir - The people here are called Hijirians. They are a simple folk.

Baer - Baer once was a strong country with a powerful leader and council. Now, Baer doesn't want much to do with the rest of the world. They have grown peaceful and avoid contact with anyone who is not Baerian.

Jatir - A mysterious country where almost no one lives... it is said that Taskurians originated from here but no one can be sure.

Spydlund - Spydlund was only recently discovered, though it is right in the middle of an ocean that Bivirians travel on. Spydlund is a popular place for immigrants, all people are treated equally. The kings and queens don't have a big say on what goes on, they mostly rule just to give their people an image of a protector over their land. Often kings and queens resign or take office, sometimes on a yearly basis.

Lava Mountain - A much avoided place. Lava Mountain is basically a small island with a large (and active) volcano on it.

Chini - Chinians originated from here. They are now an almost extinct race. The volcano on Lava Mountain had a huge explosion one year and it was so large that it extended into Chini. No one survived, and the land was left scorched and dry. It is now a deserted land, for hundreds of thousands of people died there.

Skinnyland - No one knows if this place really existed. Some explorers came back from an expedition with a foot high, very, very, very thin young man. The little man couldn't talk, only squeak, and he died after about a year living in the palace. The explorers claimed that he came from a land near Chini that they had called Skinnyland, due to his irregular features, but lots of people were doubtful. When another expedition was made, no land was found near Chini. The explorers were called frauds and the matter was dismissed. One of the explorers claimed that the explosion from the volcano had completely wiped the land out, but no one believed this claim.

The Great Mountains - The Great Mountains are located near Kilir. They are the largest mountains in the world and are home to the Yellowies. They are explored all the time in hope that hikers will discover the Yellowies, but no one has ever discovered their home.

The Great Meadow - The Great Meadow is very big, as large as the Great Mountains. It is home to faeries, purplies, greenies and many other creatures. The Great Meadow is a happy place where the flowers, grass, ETC, grow to be an unusual length. Sometimes the flowers get to be 20 feet tall. It is said that it almost never rains, hails, snows or sleets there, unless if something "evil" comes into the meadow and triggers the bad weather.

The Great Desert - The Desert was just "the Desert" for the longest time, until eventually some explorers added "Great" to it's name. It is very large, approximately the size of it's neighboring country, Gacar. The Great Desert is home to a variety of creatures, as well as some traders and a lot of Orangie and Goldie clans. Few know how to survive in the desert, so not many humans live there.

Gacar - Like Kilir, lots of creatures have been discovered here. And like Baer, Gacar doesn't have too much contact with outside world, except for attending a market every once in a while to sell their rare animals.

Swaying Island - Not much is know about Swaying Island, for no one visits it. Why? It's dangerous. True to it's name, the island sways back and forth, and not just a gently rocking. It really gets momentum some times. As far as explorers know there is no life on Swaying Island.

Educain Island - Educain Island is a sort of place of refuge for races of all kinds, besides humans. Humans have always considered themselves the dominant race, and as a result racism spread across the whole entire world. There was a time when it was law that any person who was not human was considered a slave. This went on for a few decades, until the law was finally lifted after the prince of Bivir married a mermaid and then his daughter married a faerie. But there was still a lot of racism. The humans had gotten used to thinking of themselves as master to all other races, and they weren't ready to accept the other races as their equals. During this time a group of people created a refuge on Educain Island, a recently discovered island that was not claimed by anyone. There are not so many people there now since the racism has begun to stop, but it is still a peaceful island, welcome to all people now, including humans.

Invisible Island - Invisible Island is invisible. It has a sort of magnetic field around it that not only hides the island from sight, but also drives away ships. See, instead of attracting the ships like a magnet, it has the opposite effect. If a ship could see Invisible Island and was trying to get to it, the push of the island would be too strong. Only specially made boats made from the trees that grow on Invisible Island can enter Invisible Island with no trouble.
Every ten years or so, Invisible Island chooses to let a few people come and live on it.
Everyone wants to, too, for it is said that the Island is beautiful and rich in resources. There is no such thing as a poor person there.

Flying Pirate Island - Flying Pirate Island is home to all pirates. These pirates don't all fit the sterotype though - most of the pirates are only interested in having a fun time and like to fly their flying ships around. A favorite past time of the pirates is to unmoor a fellow pirates boat, so that it will drift off into the air. The pirate is then alerted by another friend, who is in on the whole thing (no one would want a fellow pirates boat to really float off for good...) and then the pirate has to spend the whole night in his jet pack trying to get the boat back in control. After all, pirate boats have personalities, and though they are always dutiful to their captains, when they are set free like that they get a little giddy and foolish.
Pirates are normally named, and then as they get older, they are give an adjective to go with their name. Like - Mysterious Monty. Daring Demetria. Most humans think this is ridiculous and childish (and it is true - the pirates are a very childish and immature people) but the pirates think it's fun, so they do it. After all, there life revolves around having a good time.

Dragon Island - This is where a lot of dragons originated from, so it was named thus. Dragon trainers and breeders like to set up residence here and the best dragons can be found for sale here.

Forbidden Isle - Whenever the King of Bivir wants to exile someone, he always sends them here. It is a rainy dreary little island and is watched by Bivirian officials and guards. No one who goes there is allowed to leave without the king's say so.

Zaybiel - Zaybiel is where the Giants, more commonly known as Enyas, originated from. It is a beautiful land with lots of lakes, waterfalls, rivers and forests. No one goes there, however, for fear of the giants. (There's nothing to fear though - the Enyas are peaceful folk) Some daring expeditions are made to capture Enyas every once in a while, and hold them prisoner in the king's menagerie, though it's really not as hard as the explorers make it seem.

Prussia - Prussia is the richest country in the world, and perhaps second only to Invisible Island in how beautiful it is. It is ruled by five different kings, and each of the kings are always trying to convince the other of their supreme power and richness. Lots of people go to Prussia for vacation.

New Kigir - New Kigir was discovered and immediately claimed by the Kigirians. The King of Kigir was planning on moving his capital to New Kigir, but upon moving there he found that seventy five percent of the land consisted of lakes and other bodies of water, and the rest was all mushy and wet all the time. Plans were immediately made to move back to Kigir, and it is currently undecided what is to be done with New Kigir. No one really wants to move there.

Relabi and Torano - Relabi and Torano are two neighboring islands. The islands are strong allies with each other. The islanders make lots of things out of the islands natural resources and their shores are the best marketing places to be found, besides Bivir.

Advhar - Advhar was a recently discovered land. It is full of mages, wizards and magic. Their people are generally taller than normal humans and most of them take up magic as their profession. Magic was mostly myth in the rest of the world until the Advharians came to Bivir and introduced it. Not many humans can do even the smallest bit of magic though.

Cannibal Islands - The Cannibal Islands surround one whole side of Advhar. The Islands consist of several very small islands all in a line. Vicious cannibals live there, but the Advharians are smart enough, and with enough magic, to avoid them. Some exploring ships, however, have not had such luck.

Shadow World - The Shadow World is not really a "world," it is simply a regular sized land. Everything black and evil resides their though, and no explorer dares approach it's shores. The capital of Shadow World is Death, where the King of Shadows and Wraiths sits in his humungous, claw shaped tower.

Ice - Ice is a land made of - Ice. Solid, frozen hard ice. It's walls of ice surrounding it make it near impossible to get in and out of the island. Trying could cost you your life. Only a few Ice people have ever made it out of Ice to come live in other parts of the world, and only a few exploreres have ever gotten inside the island. They were never seen again.

These are all the lands and islands that have been discovered. We trust our explorers, however, to find more strange new lands soon.
