Iquai

Iquai is a country in Sylvatir, where the story began.

Climate
Iquai is generally a moderate temperate zone with some exceptions.
 * A large mountain range to the east cuts off precipitation in a rain shadow effect, creating a large, arid desert known by inhabitants as The Valley.
 * Most of Iquai's forests grow in the west, in a large north-south band known as The Bramble.
 * The Central Plains in the middle are wide and open spaces, where wind flows freely owning to the lack of inhibiting structures.
 * The southern shore of Iquai is typically home to its highest precipitation annually, as the sea effect causes frequent rain and fog near to the sea.

Locations
Iquai is home to a variety of towns and hamlets where many of its citizens have taken up root. Many of the local geographical phenomena have also been named for ease of reference by inhabitants of the country. Still others are fairy tales, whispered of only in myths and legends.
