Voraranu

**Voraranu** is a continent located on the eastern hemisphere of Cyril.

At one time, Voraranu was theorized as the heart of civilization in the world but the population had died due to unspecified causes leaving behind their once great civilization to be swept away under sediment or overgrown by vegetation.

Today, Voraranu is home to a multitude of races and cultures. Eastern and central Voraranu is where lies the most diverse set of people being home to a major port city of the world and the desert which holds many priceless artifacts and mysteries. To the south past the extinct volcanos lays the rainforest region containing the great Opheodrys River and Irutani, the city of the Conrasu. The West is less connected to the rest of Voraranu culture not caring about the history nor being affected by the dangers or wonders of the continent, instead they live simplistic yet doom ridden lives. Northern Vararanu is mostly tribal savage land filled with monsters and those brave enough to fight them in day to day life.

## Inhabitants

Human's are most abundant as a centralized species in Voraranu, specifically eastern and western. Within the city of Asterinatalnu are possibly more humans then there are to be found across all of Cyril--however many of these humans are not pure of blood and are only half or a quarter human. Alsaahil to the east also has a high concentration of humans but they share the town with many Vanara

Elves have found their way onto Voraranu seeing the massive potential found within the human settlements and culture, many become archeologist or scholars. There are also a few tribes found within northern Voraranu but not much is known about them other then their dangerous and violent.

Grippli have a major population found within the rainforest, they are genetically perfect for the environment and thrive in it but are regressive in societal ways and therefor have no major settlements other then a few tribal villages built among the massively tall trees.

Catfolk are a fragmented species in Voraranu, they once had a major city that many called home but it was swallowed entirely by a sand worm leaving the catfolk destitute and looking for a new home. Many naturally went to Asterinatalnu but some, believing in the bad luck to be found in a major city built in the same desert their city was built in, decided to make their home where no worm could harm them among the dead volcanos in the south. Now you can find catfolk just about anywhere however.

Conrasu as mentioned before have a large city made from the ruins of a long forgotten civilization, the conrasu have cleaned and repaired the city turning it into a massive central hub for travelers and locals alike.

## Geography

North Voraranu is a desert grassland with rocky hills and buttes, when you get close to the coast it begins to get greener but still remains sediment filled. Western Voraranu is similar but more tropical with flatter terrain and way less rocks or terrain shifts, it's coast however is constantly assaulted year after year by ash from the volcano island of Gehena. Southern Voraranu extremely tropical being home to a thriving rainforest and supporting massive ecosystems, the seperation of the north by volcanos lends the idea that this land was once similar to the north but when the volcanoes exploded it all changed causing the desert to worsen and the rainforest to manifest. Central and eastern Voraranu are very similar being that they are both deserts, central just being dry while eastern being coastal, there are no major landmarks found within central Voraranu but there are a countless amount of ruins to be found beneath the sound which on occasion can be accessed from the surface--most of which however have already been looted or are too dangerous to have been looted. Eastern Voraranu has Asterinatalnu, the city of stars, it is known for it's ever beautiful nights and its incredible dedication to academics and specifically astronomy.
