A Brief Introduction to the world of Cyclonus and the Strange Continent

Cyclonus , a great island kingdom, claims lordship over the Strange Continent, a vast wilderness with a few scattered cities.

__________

Each city is given a stone to symbolize its loyalty to Cyclonus. 

These loyal cities and their corresponding stones are:

      Aura - Peridot, a light green stone

     Cape Wotharm - Padparadscha, a vivid red-pink stone

     Liverius Rogue - Garnet, a dark red stone

     Bay City - Tanzanite, an indigo blue stone

     Azure - Blue Sapphire, a bright blue stone

     Cobalt -  Amethyst, a lilac purple stone

     The stone of Cyclonus is quartz, a smoky gray stone.

     The city of Ester sits just north of Cyclonus. Its stone is citrine, an orange stone.

People:

Cyclonus and the Strange Continent, being a very large geographical region, contains many people of varied ethnicities. Most living on the Isle of Cyclonus are born with brown hair and brown eyes, much like the settlers of the central regions of the Strange Continent (with the exception of those near the Eastern Mountains whose hair is more commonly blond). Those native to Aura are found to have a darker complexion, with grey eyes. Near the desert and in the Southern Volcanic Flats, it is common for people to have darker skin and eyes, due to continued exposure to the sun and fire. It is rare to find people with blue, green, or even yellow eyes due to the lack of diversity--for example, blue eyes are only dominant within the line of the Kings of Cyclonus.
