Alias: The Resource-Rich Land, The Beautiful South
Origin: South of Thazvaar (mainland continent)
Berinu is a resource-rich mainland directly south of Thazvaar, separated by mountain ranges over 5 km high. Its societies of hunters, farmers, and devout worshippers of He Who Allows were destabilized by Thazvaari criminal networks using technology as false aid. During the war with Thazvaar, Berinu requested Geban Empire intervention, leading to swift conquest and assimilation to eliminate corruption. The nearby Berinu Islands became the Empire’s largest naval base. Berinu has a population 90% female due to the global gender imbalance, second only to Thazvaar. Women of Berinu are universally regarded as the most beautiful on Geba. On its eastern border with Thazvaar, human trafficking and slave trade remain rampant, with the rugged terrain preventing meaningful intervention. Rampant piracy and global smuggling networks persist from pre-imperial times. Fertile valleys, forested lowlands, mineral-rich deltas, and deep caverns thrive in a warm temperate to subtropical climate with seasonal rains, humidity, and occasional dust storms.
