- | This region is so named because it is very different from the rest of the [[Miran]] [[wp>continent]]. Shielded from most of the effects of the polar jet stream the temperature varies little even during the depths of winter. Combined with plenty of warm air from both the [[Siyah Ocean]] and [[Serpente Sea]] and this area receives more rainfall that any other area on Miran. | + | This region is so named because it is very different from the rest of the [[Miran]] [[wp>continent]].

This region is divided into five smaller regions. The [[Anor Mountains]] run north to south marking the western boundary of this region. The [[wp>Salt Marsh]] and [[wp>swamps]] in the south have hundreds of rivers creating dozens of [[wp>estuaries]] leaving very little dry land. The far north is the [[Ghalib Mountain Range]] which is the highest mountain range in Miran and contains the highest peaks on Miran, perpetually snow-capped this range is what keeps the polar jet stream from the lands to the south. The [[Izz-Al-Din Highlands]] is a land of deep valleys and high ridges that borders both the Ghalib Range and Anor Mountains. The flawless jewel of the east is the [[Jinan Valley]] located in the center of his region, a truer paradise cannot be found upon this world. | This region is divided into five smaller regions.
