## ***Regions***

### *Erin*

**Erin** (*Kana*: **エリン**) is Earth 5's equivalent of Ireland.

It's governed and protected by the **Fianna**. Based on the fianna of the Fenian Cycle, the Fianna are composed of Magic-using warriors whom are each a member of a party called a fiann. A fiann's leader is referred to as its **Ríg-Fénnid**, while a fiann's members are each referred to as one of its **Fénnid**.

Every fiann is expected to defend Erin's people from any threat such as invaders and monsters, yet only a few of the fiann exhibit any landholdings and even fewer of the fiann exhibit sovereignty over their landholdings and its people. Consequently, it's common for the fiann to combat each other for landholdings and sovereignty just as much as — if not more than — they combat threats to Erin's people.
