Thirun

The steppe of Thirun
after one of the
few storms

East of Daleth is a enormous steppe, uninhabited by humans. There is a road through it, to the only settlement that is left in Thirun: Diwan. Diwan, on the crossroads of cultures, is the trade centre, the market of Dernian Landis and Daleth. It is nothing more than a marketplace, for Thirun knows no own culture, no own people, no politics, no state.

Thirun knows dry lands, cold winds, ancient cultures hidden under the soil. It is the homeland of the Sudzi, who left the place centuries ago. The land is now the home of unicorns and other wild animals who are shy.

The climate is dry, except for some heavy storms that may torture the land in spring and autumn. In winter it is cold, but it does hardly snow. In summer, a hot wind comes from the south. When it has rained over Thirun, small, shallow lakes appear. Some animals live a short life in these lakes, that disappear in a few days.
