Map of Janíza

Janíza 
(juh-NEEZ-uh)




















Janíza

        Janíza was founded when Ivérsid, an elf from the Eastern Lands, set out with intentions to find a new continent so the elves could expand. He landed on the plot of land that would become the capital city of Vérsidellê (now Jzältondí) and allowed his dwarven friend to name the first island. It was called Ordigon.
        Captain Jüedr, an explorer and good friend of Ivérsid's, soon discovered Jalteben and Darius. The elves spread out to populate their new land, and the few dwarves brought along settled in the mountains of Ordigon. Soon, though, humans from the West came to claim their spot on the rich land of Janíza, providing much racial difference in the country.
        Humans are now the largest race in Janíza, with dwarves second and elves third. The elves soon began arguing on whether the humans should be allowed to reside on their land and, due to different opinions, separated into several different clans. The arguments subsided, but the clans remained, which eventually led to the elven races: Water elves, Ice elves, Nature elves, etc.
        Janíza contains diverse terrains, such as deserts, mountains, arctic regions, forests, and plains. The majority of Janíza's land is classified as plains, which the humans found appealing for their farms. Darius is considered an arctic region, and Ordigon contains the most mountainous ranges.
