## Northern Ibira

### Geography and Climate

Northern Ibira is the northernmost section of the continent, and is home to a large central plain that is an agricultural hub. Surrounding this central plain are temperate forests and clearings. To the southeast are small mountain ranges that separate the larger part of the region from The Belt and Southern Ibira. Outside of these alpine areas, Northern Ibira features largely flat land with few changes in elevation.

### History

#### Pre-Incursion

Before the demonic invasion of Zaezus' forces, little is known about Northern Ibira, with the exception of the small town coastal town of Bellfort, which is where the first three members of the Godslayers met before sailing to Penton Isle.

#### Post-Incursion

Following the Godslayers defeat of Zaezus, the Legion expanded into Northern Ibira from Penton Isle, forming new colonial territories and establishing The Greater Legion. With this exception, the state of Northern Ibira is the same as things were before the Incursion... a mystery.

## The Belt

### Geography and Climate

The Belt is a narrow isthmus separating North and South Ibira. Along the coasts the most common landscape is temperate forests and rolling hills, and as one heads more inland small mountain ranges shrinking with time can be found controlling the skyline. The Central Lowlands are large plains resting in the middle of The Belt, and serve as a breadbasket for the millions of people who call this region home.

### History

#### Pre-Incursion

For at least three hundred years before the Incursion, The Belt was controlled by two different powers, The Cruwen Dynasty to the north and Vipiria to the south. Roughly one hundred and fifty years before the Incursion, The Cruwen Dynasty, now known colloquially as The Empire annexed Vipiria and brought its people and territory into a political union. Relations between the native Vipirians and their new Imperial masters would remain rocky, but relatively stable for the foreseeable future.

#### Post-Incursion

Following the Incursion, things remained the same until seven years before the beginning of the next chapter, when the execution of an innocent Vipirian civilian in broad daylight sparked a revolt, which quickly grew out of hand and led to the Imperial Civil War. The war has remained largely in a stalemate, killing tens of thousands with not much either side has gained to show for it.

## Southern Ibira

### Geography and Climate

Southern Ibira is far more arid than Northern Ibira or The Belt despite its rainfall. Strong trade winds blow hot air from The Sunstone Sea over the region which leads to the climate being generally dryer than most places on the planet. A massive desert called the Sand Sea dominates the center of Southern Ibira and makes traveling directly across country difficult. Despite this, the relatively flat land allows for enough farming to sustain the nations that call the region home.

### History

#### Pre-Incursion

Little is known about Southern Ibira before the Incursion, save for the large nation of Belka that rose to power roughly a century before the event.

#### Post-Incursion

Following the Incursion, and during the events of the next chapter, Southern Ibira is dominated by Belka, which has claimed control of half the region, and has utilized its political and military might to turn the remaining Southern Ibiran nations into client states. Belka and its vassals are the sole political presence in the region, thus the lack of competition or rivalry has led to Belka becoming the foremost military power on Irilia. The nation has recently turned its attention north, and has sent soldiers to train and fight with the Vipirians in their war against the Cruwen Dynasty.
