Legwa Rrina [légwà ʀínà], meaning Land of Ruin in Iskel, is a country in Gaarlann and 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 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.
Geography
There are 4 districts in Legwa Rrina corresponding the the cardinal directions. Each, with the exception of the southern district, k˜áfn, had a rich cultural history, most of which has been lost over time. Even their old names have been long forgotten and replaced with non-etymologic names by the Shadows, simply for the purpose of referring to their existence.
ʔax
ʔax is where Legwa Rrina's stronghold is located. The stronghold is partially overrun by sculk and is where the Shadows live.
ǐʔezta
ǐʔezta hosts one of the two ancient cities in the country.
ðâtʃɱie̯
ðâtʃɱie̯ hosts the other ancient city.
k˜áfn
Historically, k˜áfn was the most recently acquired land and had little development. But in the present day, the other divisions are just as barren as it.
