Geography
The Five Continents
Armalacsa
The largest landmass on Riiga which includes Armalia and Baracsa.
Armalia
The largest continent.
Includes the regions of Teman, Yyele, Batur, Qran, Ideitess, Shever, and Karber.
Its highest mountain is thought to be Simemazha in the Great Opal Ranges. The tallest mountain in the Khatsanaras is Roqudar, and the tallest mountain among the Durdundus is Nyumyduzha.
The most powerful volcanic eruption on Armalia is Dama Mang in the eastern Hodea Mountains in East Teman, which erupted around 600AL. The ash travelled across the Gold Sea. Nissaba in the Great Opal Ranges is also believed to be a gigantic volcano, but it isn't known when it last erupted.
The longest known river in Riiga is the Zatshra in Bymir at 6000km. Other great rivers include the Goldwater in Teman at 3000km, the Amber River in Batur at 3600km, the Velishla in Ideitess at 2400km, and the Qararsar in Sheber at 3700km.
Phenomena
Liar Stones or Mho Mho in the Khayen Lowlands in Sheber -- mighty stones that are unreliable landmarks because they change position due to unknown forces when nobody is there to witness it.
Chanting Lakes or Sivi Tusic in central Bymir are known to emit mysterious and melodic sounds that ring throughout entire valleys. It is associated with the state of Yvabiran gods and is a sign of blessing and hope.
The Abyssal Whisper or the Munde is a sound heard or felt around Lake Mancisa throughout history, lasting anywhere from minutes to months. Merchants in the early days of the Archroad report witnessing the same thing. It can cause illness in some of those who experience it.
The Roaring Peaks or the Dudeu Qu in the western Great Opal Ranges are sudden immeasurably loud booms and rumbles which can be heard across long distances. Despite the area being very remote, it has been known to kill those unfortunate enough to be in the vicinity.
The eastern side of the Hodea Mountains are known for lava-less eruptions called Langba Tida or Blight Bursts, leaking toxic air. It is one of the reasons why the subtropical region is scarcely populated.
Baracsa
The westernmost portion of Armalacsa and third largest continent.
Includes the regions of Nor, Umbener, Simber, Seleru, Jadar, and Had.
Mount Tauldan in the Great Ranges is considered to be its largest mountain.
Feirdus is Baracsa's largest volcano, also found within the Great Ranges, but it hasn't erupted since 1500BD. Another ancient volcano is believed to lie in the Dead Mountains, called Gasru, and it has strong associations with Karithians.
Large rivers include the Great River in Simber at 2900km, and the Hmboko and Hanjare rivers in Jadar, both around 2500km.
Phenomena
Glass Storms or Quqserel in southeastern Seleru -- deadly sandstorms with an iridescent shimmer which come from Yrtkuam where Karithians dwell.
Heaven's Rays in western Benevis -- high altitude streaks of slow-moving red/yellow/greenish light that happen during the day or night.
Ghost Blazes or Qoim Am near the Dead Coast in the western end of the Ebere Desert have been going on for centuries. They appear as tornadoes made of fire but can occur in remote areas with no visible fire source.
A mist that burns the skin supposedly exists around Ewkar Lake sometimes, usually known as Hazaja or Searing Mist. It is often used as a coming of age ritual and a rite of passage for elite warriors, to endure the mist in certain conditions. Often they wear outfits in certain patterns to create patterned burn marks on the person.
Suribia
The second largest continent.
Includes Harda, Tasif, Saron, Sacre, Ikade, Inoti, and Progori regions.
Nganihuntro mountain in the Anwanyisis Mountains is deemed to be the tallest peak.
Toogantato in the Anwanyisis Mountains and Chliraeti in the Atlis are the largest volcanoes on the continent, which erupted around 0BD and 400AL respectively.
The longest river in Surubia and second longest in the world is the Dustwater in Sacre at 4100km. Other large rivers include the Whitewater nearby at 3300km, the Rasarun in Harda at 3100km, and the Ngarasa across Ikade and Inoti at 3700km.
Phenomena
In the Sacres Plains it is known for the Vanmoug or Singing Sands to emit a melodic voice on the wind, similar to the Chanting Lakes in Bymir.
Some areas of the Pearl Mountains in Harda known as the Hills of Burden are known for being exceptionally difficult to climb, not because of the terrain, but because people feel heavier in this area. It is traditionally a coming-of-age test for people in the area, and is also used to train elite Aegis warriors.
Progora is known for its strong and fast-growing vines, especially in the Tronga Wetlands called Kwankwanmanga or Rapid Death, known to grow more than a man's height in a single day.
Jindiara
The fourth largest continent.
Includes the regions of Hede, Ngoe, and Ashk.
Though fairly flat overall compared to other continents, its tallest peak is believed to be Axrang, in the Red Peaks.
The Pzenkarl basin boasts massive rivers, the two largest being the Shuxuka at 3600km and the Daalxarl at 4000km.
Phenomena
The most unusual phenomenon in Jindiara is the Saoqa Tikri Burning Rain in the eastern mudscrub in Ashk, not so-called because it is fiery, but because it causes a burning pain to the skin of those caught in it for too long.
