Zurraithans

In the biggest continent of Zurraith, 15 provinces were created. Five for each region, save the southern region, which had been submerged in water and bordered by two large mountain ranges. Before the Government was created, each region was almost always at war, trying to take as much territory as they could. This was stopped, however, when the new Government officials forbade attacks on each other. They became the leaders and each king and queen were like co leaders of their provinces. Soon Zurraith became the major headquarters for the Government and prison, both of which were located on (or, in the prison's case, off) the western coast.

Zurraith is made up of three languages. When they first settled, the Scots stayed in the west, the Russians moved to the east, and the Spanish moved to the north. They all speak their own languages (a mix of their heritage and the dragon language), but a new language has been created that they all learn to speak. Nearly every single person in Zurraith is bilingual.

As for major landmarks, there are two. The mountain in the center of Zurraith is a pyramid that is so high that no one has seen the top. A portal resides on the top that leads to or from the dragon's home world, but no one can go through twice except for the Alpha and a peculiar god. Why? When you leave your home land through the use of magic, your soul is severed from your home and locks on the new world and the portal blocks you forever. The second landmark is the prison. It was created and built by the dragons as a small scale model of their own prisons, but it is still massive, spanning five miles across, built like a cylinder, and rises four levels into the air. Zurraith Prison is so important and looked upon by its people to protect it that the four wardens have as much power as the Government officials.

  • Zurraith is the homeland of the 'host' and the 'parasite'
  • Most diverse people. Most humans live in the grasslands while hosts appear more and more toward the desert.
  • Imagine Zurraith as a piece of pizza cut into four. Take away the bottom most piece and imagine water there and you have the southern region.
[Edit: 2/22/13] Zurraithans seem to be a rather interesting mix of people, the most diverse. They range from some of the shortest-- like second commander Tyru at five feet-- to the tallest-- like vice chief warden Simon at seven and a half feet. Usually people in the grasslands are light haired and fair skinned while the jungles have people of darker skin and the desert has the darkest. The one thing that sets them apart from everyone else is their wide, open eyes and sharp teeth-- even in pureblood humans.
