Idiri
Idiri is the vast southern continent of Avaria, bordered on the north by the Adelantean Sea, on the west by the Great Stormy Sea, and on the east by the Gulf of Adwa and Sea of Sala'ah. It consists of a variety of different land types, ranging from the Great Hazari Desert in the north, through tropical highlands and rainforest at the center, to vast swathes of savannah and grassland in the south and east. It is home to a great diversity of peoples and is crossed by numerous trade routes along which goods travel to and from all parts of the known world.
The port city of Omrazir, the chief hub of activity in the game, is located on the northeastern coast of Idiri.

Regions of Idiri
Much of Idiri consists of small territories, chiefdoms, and alliances of tribes that are self-governing and ever changing. Some are ruled over by chiefs or kings (or queens), while others are primarily governed by councils of elders or respected individuals chosen by their people. Eschewing any greater political affiliation, they are primarily identified by the general region they inhabit.
