Corina (Kor-in-AH)
Also known as The Land of Wonders, Corina is a mysterious land, the denizens of which have developed a very insular culture that is not easily trusting of outsiders. The land is rich with magic. The abundance of arcane energy forms what looks like floating rivers that flow between the various mountains that populate the island. The country is split into three states; these state Auricardia, Pulmonaria, Ventricallus, form a delicate alliance known as the triadic accord. Over the years, each state has moved to gain more control at the expense of the control of another stae. This has historically caused turmoil between the states.
Geography
With gigantic jagged rocks lining the entire coast, it is impossible for any boat to come ashore. There is only one beach on the entire continent capable of docking ships. This beach (Baycard) is also the only part of the country that is equal level with the sea, the rest of the mainland is set much higher than the sea level. The mainland is incredibly mountainous. the mountains are concentrated toward the center of the continent. They thin out as you get further out to the edges. Besides the mountains, the ground is relatively flat. The mountains are numerous but narrow, and the ground in between them is flat with very few hills. Various lakes and rivers dot the landscape. the source of these water systems has been found to be fountains pouring out from the mountains that border the ocean.
Ecosystem
The magical leylines that flow through the entire land have affected the ecosystem in interesting ways. there are unique plants that are full of magic. glowing trees, crystal grass, singing flowers, and other wonders that have yet to be discovered.
Ecosystem Cycles
Being so close to the equator of Eldoria, Corina is mostly a warm and humid climate. the seasons do not change too drastically unless you get to the northern and southern edges of the continent.
Localized Phenomena
Corina is seen as the land of wonders, this is because of the potent magic that fills the landscape. the magic is so rich that you can see it flowing through the air. gigantic rivers of mana flow through the mountains high in the sky.
Climate
Corina is a warm country. there is not very much drastic season change. rain is fairly common in the land of wonders. often times the rain will be of a magical nature, the droplets will glow and can even give a slight magical effect those caught without proper protection. this effect can be good, bad or neutral, regardless the effect is quite mild.
Fauna & Flora
Many unique species of plants and animals have developed within the shores of Corina. Not only has the magical landscape affected their development but also the fact that Corina is secluded from the rest of the world has made a naturally insulated biosphere.
History
A large chunk of the civilization is built upon the structures and caves carved out by the original denizens of this continent. The current populace shares very little if any blood or cultural relation to these original peoples. The continent was discovered by explorers in the year 536 U.F. After that there were a large number of people who migrated to populate the area. With the port of Baycard being the only way to enter the continent, there have been many issues with who can, and when they can enter the country. The free flow of immigration has ebbed and flowed over the centuries, a good chunk of that time immigration has been severely limited.
