Legwa Rrina [légwà ʀínà], meaning Land of Ruin in Iskel, is a country in Balloon World east of Tanylezi. Its surface contains multiple snow caps and its underground contains a deep dark biome stronghold to the north and two ancient cities to the south.

Much of Legwa Rrina's development will be underground with minor connections to the surface (primarily in the snow). Similar to the Realm of Madness, it will heavily revolve around sculk. However, this is their only connection.

Inspiration

Legwa Rrina politically derives a lot of inspiration from the Skeksis from the 1982 film The Dark Crystal. Thematically, Legwa Rrina is the opposite of Juya Gwaña. Juya Gwaña represents beauty, peace, and openness, while Legwa Rrina represents destruction, grief, and entrapment.

Government

The government, like that of the Skeksis, is led by a council of ten. Here, they are known as the Shadows or Tamshaan [tɐ́ɱʃɐ̀a̯n]. The Shadows rule over a land full of history, but with no populace. Their power within their ŋation only exists amongst themselves. Over time, their roles began to warp into something less suited to run a government, and more suited to control other Shadows. They never outright abuse their power for fear of retaliation from other Shadows, but their powers no longer resemble those of a coherent government.

Legwa Rrina is largely an isolationist ŋation with no ties to other countries.
