Geography

Thurn is essentially one massive Delta. Countless rivers run through the region and empty out into the ocean. This has created thousands of islands within the region that many different species call home. Most of these rivers come from the surrounding regions of Thurn, namely Ollurve, Stelliah and Enithe. There are also massive pockets of water that have formed within Thurn essentially creating small seas within the region as well. This has made it a very popular fishing destination too. Thurn is also famous for its massive coral reefs thats span miles long and even weave their way into some of the rivers. A major drawback to all of the water and warm weather is the potential of hurricanes, storms, and major flooding. Thurn has been decimated a few times by major storms.

It isn't uncommon to find fruit here such as apples, bananas, and coconuts to grow around the size of a persons head. Almost every creature that calls Thurn its home is capable of either flight or swimming. Many of these creatures have had to adapt over the years in order to survive within the islands of Thurn. This means some species have gills or webbed feet when their counterparts in other regions have no such things.
