Danwor_EN
Despite being situated in The Mystical Sea, near The Magic Council 's base, Croydon Island, and Long Xae, one of Aurin's largest nations, many inhabitants of Aurin still tend to forget about this place. It's unfortunate because Danwor is one of Aurin's best-kept secrets for marine life and stunning scenery. With 12 islands, it provides many opportunities for exploration.
Danwor is an archipelago consisting of 12 islands, named after neighboring nations such as Long Xae, Qahai, Rubros, and Croydon Island. The capital, Milosera, serves as the political and commercial hub and is a significant travel hub between the islands. The capital is renowned for its coral reefs, which host the second-largest reef in Aurin and are home to numerous unique fish and marine life. While Danwor does not have the largest coral reef in Aurin, it has the most due to its central position and proximity to The Cyies Ocean. Most of these reefs are located near Danwor's capital.
The remaining eleven islands are Milhlin, Gadal, Silo Asari, Norrkil, Linvik, Haldal, Sorsodo, Chaenya, Ozayawan, Sadag, and Pales. Each has distinct features due to the influence of neighboring countries, which also shape many of their names. These islands differ not only in their names and trade but also in their languages. Although Danwor officially recognizes three elven languages—Churrina, Eyasy, and Mewati—it functions as a linguistic hub, as its people can understand nearly all languages in Aurin through trade with nearby nations.
On the islands of Sorsodo, Ozayawan, Sadag, and Gadal, near Qahai and Long Xae, trade in rice, tea, spices, and chilies occurs frequently. They also exchange fabric, fish, and shellfish. When traveling through these islands, you often see fishermen fishing or selling seafood. The cuisine in this region is primarily influenced by seafood and spices.
On the islands of Norrkil, Linvik, and Hadal near Croydon, the main trades involve seafood, wood, stone, and various vegetables. The primary exchanged goods are potatoes, root vegetables, and timber. During spring and summer, they also trade flowers, soap, and perfume. Guardians tend to visit these islands mainly during patrols of the Mystical Sea or on missions, and they frequently purchase flowers, perfume, soap, or potatoes when returning to Croydon.
The last islands are Pales, Milhlin, and Silo Asari. These islands are known for their stunning views and scenery. When the sun is about to set, the whole sky turns a light green from the Mystical Sea. This is why the Danwor are often more commonly known as The Green Dusk. These islands are also known for their hospitality and craftsmanship.
The country of Dawor was established in the year 243 E.M. (After Magic) following an unexpected event involving a ship of elves navigating across the Mystical Sea. During a particularly fierce storm season, the elves discovered an island that would later be named Milosera. Although they initially planned only to repair their ship and continue their journey, many elves were captivated by the island's stunning coral reefs and rich plant life. As a result, some returned to Milosera to create a permanent settlement.
This initiative attracted merchants and settlers from neighboring islands, including Long Xae and Qahai, Croydon, and Rubros. The city flourished rapidly, eventually expanding to encompass twelve islands. Today, Dawor is known for its remarkable cultural diversity, making it one of the most vibrant regions in Aurin.
Danwor is situated within the Mystical Sea, lying adjacent to the vast Ciyes Ocean, creating a unique and vibrant ecosystem. This prime location influences the region's climate, providing warm, inviting temperatures year-round. Although winter brings a refreshing coolness, it does so gently, especially during the autumn months, when soft breezes dance across the islands, creating a soothing atmosphere. This overall temperate climate fosters an ideal environment for agriculture, allowing for the cultivation of rice, a variety of root vegetables, and even fragrant flowers used in perfume and soap production. Notably, the tea produced in Danwor is celebrated for its exquisite flavor and aroma.
During winter, the region experiences an active storm season, defined by powerful winds and torrential rain that occasionally sweep across the archipelago. These dynamic climatic conditions play a crucial role in sustaining Danwor's vibrant coral reefs, which serve as a vital sanctuary for abundant marine species. As a result, this underwater ecosystem is not only ecologically rich but also serves as a cornerstone of biodiversity in the area.
The distinctive geographical features of Danwor include a series of lush, rugged islands adorned with thriving vegetation and dramatic cliffs that plunge into crystalline waters. Beneath the surface lies a diverse underwater landscape teeming with marine life and unique flora found nowhere else in Aurin. This extraordinary biodiversity not only underscores the region's environmental importance but also draws the attention of researchers and eco-tourists alike, eager to explore the breathtaking natural beauty and ecological treasures Danwor has to offer. From studying the colorful coral gardens to hiking through its lush terrain, every experience in Danwor reveals the region's commitment to preserving its unique natural wonders.

The Ruler of Danwor
In Danwor, as in many other elven countries, the ruler is predominantly female. This tendency can be attributed to the presence of the Genesis Livets Träd (The Tree of Life).
The Tree of Life is not merely a botanical entity; it is revered as a goddess named Genesis. According to tradition, she feels more secure in the company of female leaders, which is why the majority of rulers in elven nations tend to be women, although there are exceptions with some male rulers.
In Danwor, the queen is traditionally the firstborn daughter of the royal family. She is set to inherit the crown upon the queen's death or resignation.
