Calionelen

Geography
Also known as The Desert Isles, Calionelen is the central continent of Aira. The landscape is almost entirely desert, divided just above its middle by The Irvin Trent river.

The nothernmost sands of the continent are known as the Sea of Sands, at whose northernmost point lies the town of Desert's Edge and at whose heart, amongst the Boiling Dunes, sits the great desert city of Dunsea-Hyne.

South of the river stretch the uninhabited Many Temples Sands and beyond them, the Tribal Sands which hold the countless Tribal Villages of the Desert Trey.

Aira's Mage College is in the slightly cooler south of the desert, surrounded by the Magus Sands and edged to the south by the Sacred Coves and Magi Beach.

The Dusty Gorge and Red Sand Canyons run down the eastern coast of southern Calionelen, in the sea beyond which sit the pirating towns of Haven and Derry, upon their respective islands. The latter of these is connected to the mainland by the Sinking Sands, through which runs the treacherous passage of the Sand Bridge.

Population
The southern reaches of Calionelen are populated almost exclusively by Alyn Trey, while the northern sands surrounding Dunsea-Hyne are the ﻿home of the hardy Dunmen. The more temperate islands housing the towns of Haven and Derry have more multicultural populations due to their pirating links, housing many Eastmen and Caete Trey in addition to the deserts' native people. The Mage College, by its very nature, also draws magically talented people from all over Aira to study within.

Creatures
Lhoth and Trogs are the main pack animals and means of transport on this continent. Ciserra hunt the dunes, where Lindworms are the primary predators.
