General description<\/strong><\/p>\n Entymology<\/strong><\/p>\n Ippius was named after a courageous warrior in a fairytale told by the inhabitants of the country.\u00a0 His name was Arthur Ipparius.\u00a0 The three main islands in the Ippius archipelago are all named after characters in the fairytale.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Geography and Environment<\/strong><\/p>\n Ippius is a series of three large islands, the biggest being farthest north, and the smallest being farthest south.\u00a0 Several dozen smaller islands are on the ocean beside the main islands as well, but do not rival any of the larger islands in size.<\/p>\n The largest island of the Ippius archipelago is called Arthica, named after the hero of the Ipparius fairytale.\u00a0 The largest human establishment of the island, Argos, is also named after Arthur, and is considered the country\u2019s capital.<\/p>\n The second largest island is named after Princess Iona from the fairytale, who is portrayed as Arthur\u2019s love interest.<\/p>\n The smallest of the main islands is called Norkoth, after an evil warrior who tried to slay Arthur and all those he loved.\u00a0 Norkoth banded together a primitive group of lagano, and led them into battle against Arthur and his soldiers.<\/p>\n All of the lands within Ippius are islands, but many of the islands seem to have personalities of their own, due to the wide variety of geographic differences.\u00a0 Arthica is generally a mild island, with many forests, mountains and plains.\u00a0 Norkoth is a jungle infested land mass, with only a few beaches, mountains, and a large volcano offering some diversity.\u00a0 Iona is a mix of the other two islands.\u00a0 A large jungle sits in the middle of the island, but plains and forests encroach upon it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Races<\/strong><\/p>\n Humans are the predominant race within Ippius, and many of them are cold to other races.\u00a0 However, many of the smaller islands are inhabited by other races.\u00a0 Even the third largest island is overrun with lagano.<\/p>\n Besides the humans and lizardmen of the country, the kaja have found homes among several islands in the archipelago.<\/p>\n A tribe of orcs also shares Iona with a civilization of jungle dwelling humans.\u00a0 These two races coexist rather peacefully, however orcs are only very rarely permitted to visit Arthica.<\/p>\n Groups of murkgill also have villages within the waters surrounding the islands of Ippius.\u00a0 They typically leave the other races alone, but sailors have been mentioning that they believe the numbers of the underwater dwellers are growing at a rapid race, and will soon overwhelm even the humans.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
