[comments] addie The nation of Lai is composed of about a dozen cities and hundreds of smaller settlements, encompassing most of the western part of the river valley known to its citizens as Nalinala. The known world around Nalinala is a wide isthmus, with ocean to the north and south, a desert to the west, and mountains to the east. Nalinala is about 350 kilometres long and 120 kilometres across at its widest point. The two rivers that surround Lai are the Ryth to the north and Unis to the south.
Both rivers originate from the Otopakoso mountains on the eastern edge of the world. From there, they flow largely westward, gently curving south. Unis merges with the Ryth 30 kilometres from the ocean, where it soon after becomes a delta. The southwestern region of Nalinala is mostly flat, arable grassland and gentle rolling hills, transitioning to more steep hilly and cliffed regions, primarily composed of slate and basalt as it gets closer to Otopakoso. Throughout Lai, soil and sand is rich in iron oxide, giving it a vibrant red colouration. Going westward past the furthest banks of Ryth, one will see an increase in the iron content in the ground. The climate will become progressively more arid, and after a few dozen kilometres, transitions into the Sanguine Dunes, a massive red desert spanning further than has been explored. It is the eastern edge of the world. Expeditions along the coast have been fruitless, turning up no signs of civilization.
The city of Lajika is the largest city within Lai, and serves as its capital, with nearly 100,000 people. It was one of the first permanent settlements in the world. Lajika was settled along the southern bank of Ryth, and has an area of nearly 750 hectares. In its center is the District of Limila, the heart of the city. To its citizens, the most important aspects of the District of Limila are the Akitan Promenade and the Temples of Apisa. The Promenade is a wide, open space for citizens to go about their business; it is most often used for open air markets during the day, but on festivals, it is cleared out and is used to host lavish celebrations. The Temples of Apisa also see daily use, being where one would go to make appeals to the gods if they were able to make the trip. There are several temples, each dedicated to a god. Some are just small shrines for the lesser gods, whereas others, like the Temple of Ńamiki, typically revered as god of the harvest, are massive monuments larger than anything else in the city.
Less often used by citizens is the Palace of the Lord, a walled complex where the ruler of Lai resides. Within it is a large mansion for the ruler and their family, a sprawling garden, residence for the palace employees, and a temple to Mila, the patron deity of the royal family, Lajika, Ryth, and Lai as a whole. Outside of the District of Limila are sprawling homes and smaller, more permanent shops, barracks, and bureaucratic buildings, and beyond the limits of the city stretch roads and farmland to the horizon.
