Eirenmere

## Overview

Eirenmere is the world in which "The Guardian Principal" and other related works are set.

The world is similar to Earth in climate, though slightly smaller in size. The north and south poles are both covered in ice caps while most of the world is covered in water. Most of the land masses are covered in temperate climates, covered in conifer trees, and grassy plains. While this is the case for most of the world, Taushad is primarily covered in deserts, with large forests only existing on the exterior edge of the Evailan Mountains.

Eirenmere is a primarily oceanic world with seven main continents: Alowatia, Taushad, La'tia, Nekalt, Kona, Pestol, and Faridun. Each of these continents is home to their own unique races and cultures.
