Rion

"Some might consider Rion a paradise, but it is a belief rooted in ignorance, The nation is not without its own struggles. A Dorii's lifespan can stretch the entirety of eternity. Society must be cultivated in a way to cover the same time. The different Dalyiths are constantly at odds regarding the importance of change." --Blight Agent Alilgella Nelis, Intercepted Archblight communications, 943 AE
== Overview ==
The Alildorii fought hard during the waking ages to cull the primordial dangers from Ilderon. After they discovered secrets locked in other planes that they were unable to access, they abandoned the continent of Seadale and settled the wild continent of Gurion. They seeded massive forests and spread life across the barren land.
Aliland lies in the middle of Rion which serves as the capital for the blessed Alildorii. Rion is a land of life and vast swaths of nature.
