Dair

Dair (adjective: Dairen) is a large continent on Zunidh.

Geography
The continent of Dair is separated into three different administrative areas: Eastern, Western, and Southern Dair.

Eastern Dair, where Solaara is located, has a long dry season.

Northern Dair was overrun by lava flows following The Fall.

The Erchilingian jungle is at the edge of Southern Dair

Cities of Dair

 * Solaara - Eastern Dair
 * New Dair - Western Dair
 * Csiven - Western Dair

Csiven and New Dair are quite large cities, and had sizable slums before the establishment of the Indrogan Estates.

Southern Dair has a mountain range called the Dairen mountains which is home to warrior clans. The clans of the Southern Grey Mountains in Southern Dair consider the Plainsmen around Solaara to be enemies.

Administration
As separate provinces, Southern and Western Dair have princes. As Solaara itself is in Eastern Dair, it may not have its own prince.

Prince Belu is the Prince of Western Dair.

Dair is known for farming and manufacturing of goods.

Customs
In general, Dair seems to have fairly elaborate, formalized customs around submission and rank, which may appear excessive to people from other traditions.

It is a Western Dairen custom for a supplicant to kiss the feet of a patron.

It is a Southern Dairen custom to kiss someone's hand on parting, possibly as a sign of regard or gratefulness.
