Ir

Ir is the smallest of the continents on Rankarth. It lies northwest of Vespari and far southwest of Skaron Valo, between the Traders' and Locked Seas. Ir is an isolated country and has only recently been explored by foreigners. Despite its small size, Ir is incredibly varied in its geography and climate.

Geography
Much of Ir is covered in mountains. Running from the southwest to the northwest is the curved Crescent Mountains. In the north is the Oranina Range, which covers most of the north quadrant of the continent. Running along most of the southern and eastern coasts is the Great Iri Range. Many of these mountains are high and snow covered at the peaks. The mountains are populated only by the Lorae tribes.

In the west of the continent, between the Crescent Mountains and the Locked Sea, is the Plain of Mylor. Frequent wildfires ensure that only grass and small plants grow, while trees are rare. The plains are the most fertile area on Ir which have attracted many people.

In the center of the continent is the lush Lexin Rainforest. Home to tall trees, colorful birds, and dangerous predators, the Lexin Rainforest is a dangerous and beautiful rainforest. Before the Hyrivans, only Iri traveled into the depths of the jungle. Even after the Hyrivans annexed Ir, the only foreigners traveling deep into the forest were scholars and explorers.

Kingdoms
Ir is divided into three kingdoms:

Greater Lex
The largest of the three kingdoms and holds land in the north and east of the continent. Their border follows the Lorina River from the southeast, through the Lexin Rainfoest, to the Adessa Pass between the Crescent Mountains. Their land in the northeast is heavily disputed with Myloris. The Lexesse always where paint in public except on a few special occasions. The paint is used to show what family, social rank, and occupation someone belongs to.

Phyli
The middle sized kingdom and holds land in the south of the continent. Their border is the Lorina River with Greater Lex and the Crescent Mountains with Myloris. The Phylians' only city is Ionathoria located on the southern coast, in a mountain pass through the Great Iri Range. Ionathoria is also the largest city on Ir.

Myloris
The smallest kingdom on Ir and controls the western part of the continent. The kingdom's borders are the Locked Sea, the Crescent Mountains, and the Adessa Pass. Most of the country is in the Plain of Mylor, with a few settlements in the Crescent Mountains, and the Adessa Pass. Despite being the smallest kingdom, the fertile plain has allowed it to become the most populous kingdom on Ir.
