Nivaria (pronounced nih-VAR-ee-ah) is a large island between the Chaska Sea and the Sea of Khoros. The island is primarily under the control of the nation of Korymbos.
Geography and climate
Most of the coastline of Nivaria consists of either sandy or rocky beaches, but some beaches along the southern coast are instead made of high quality salt. Many islanders tell tales of brine dragons that make their lairs on the shore in these parts, yet these dragons have not been seen in many years, if they ever existed at all.
The interior of Nivaria is primarily scrub forest, full of evergreen shrubs and small trees along with taller pines and cedars. Tar seeps dot the inland hills, far more common in Nivaria than in almost anywhere else in the world.
The eastern coast of the island has much calmer weather than the western side, which is frequently battered by storms from the Sea of Khoros. Generally speaking the climate of the island is relatively stable, with fairly low seasonality and warmer yet not hot weather year-round.
Fauna
In addition to plentiful smaller animals, Nivaria is home to Nivarian sheep, moas, cauthooj, foxes, and more, as well as to many kinds of seals, whales, dolphins, and other marine life.
