Geography

Xi'anlin is an Island of Terror 150 miles in length and 100 miles in width. It is a realm comprised mostly of mountain, but periodic lakes, [hill]]s, pine and bamboo forests, and villages periodically dot the landscape. The terrain smoothly blends together as if no transition is out of place.[2]

Society and Culture

The people of Xi'anlin tend to be a hardworking, peaceful sort. Most of them are farmers, fishers, and craftsmen. Elves, half-elves, and dwarves are known in this realm but not feared as in other lands. Magic is not a feared phenomena but rather seen as more of a distraction whereas war is abhorred.[2]

Religion is the common link between the people of Xi'anlin. The people follow a naturfalistic faith that emphasizes the importance of humanity's balance with nature as mediated by nature spirits.[1]

Xi'anlin was created by Dion Fernandez and introduced in the Midway Haven netbook Navigaccio.
