Irdalni

Description

Irdalni is a hot and humid region, largely blanketed by a jungle teeming with wildlife and formidable natural resources. Despite the insufferable heat and the threat of constant attack from beasts in the jungle, the region is home to a large and thriving local population which for the most part is settled on the coasts, in particular to the west where fishermen can ply their trade away from the worst sea currents and where trading vessels can gain easy access to the markets of Oritolon.

For a significant proportion of Irdalni's citizens, the palm jungle serves as their livelihood. Exotic fruits and vegetables which are found nowhere else in the colonies fetch high prices amongst the affluent. Meanwhile the various herds that help to feed the local people are many and bounteous. Though any hunter must remain ever vigilant of the threat of wild carnivores and the mythical 'Babar' which is said to be responsible for all those instances when entire hunting parties have simply disappeared without trace. There have been rumours of an elixir made from the mystical fruit, "Rajabuah" linked to the "Babar" in the jungles of Irdalni. The elixir is purported to increase exponentially the strength and virility of warriors when drank. There has also been many reports of warriors going on a rampage after consuming the elixir.

Irdalni is also home to the vibrant and prosperous area of Aren. Aren was used subsequently by many locals as a colloquial name for the land of Greater Alowca.
The people of Irdalni are notorious for their hostility to those they don't know as much as their intimate knowledge and use of jungle trails that are all that make the region passable by foot. More than one hardnosed foreign merchant has found themselves suddenly abandoned by their guide deep in the jungle.
The Lord of Irdalni is known locally as the High Chief.
