Gireathe-Jin is one of the seven natural Newerthian continents.
[hr]
NAME:Pronunciation: gureedhjin
IPA: /ɡɜrˈiːđ dʒɪn/
[hr]
KNOWN LOCATIONS:[list]
[li]Grisen Village: a village constructed by the ancient Hero
of Titian Grisen, and thus one of the Eight Heroes' Villages.
Grisen's shrine is said to contain the spear, Tonbogiri
HTML http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonbogiri.
Surrounding the village
is Fřrest Forest.[/li]
[li]Portia City: a city located to the far northern parts of
the continent, and located in the middle of Désert Desert.
Poisonous chemicals are manufactured in pyramids similar to
those found in Egypt
HTML http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_pyramids.
Clothing and
protective gear (like gas masks, hazmat suits, etc.) are made in
pyramids similar to ziggurats
HTML http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ziggurat.
Food is produced at
pyramids similar to Nubian pyramids
HTML http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nubian_pyramids.[/li]
[li]Titian City: a city located to the southern parts of the
continent, and located at the coast. It is home to the only
major port on the continent and is the capital city of the
province, and one of the Eight Cities of Neia.[/li]
[li]Umbridge City: a city located inside Mount Mňúnt. The
caverns leading to it are treacherous and contain ores that give
off toxic gases, necessitating gas masks. These ores are mined
and sent to the military to create toxic gas-based weapons. The
houses and other man-made buildings seem to have some kind of
device that magically generates oxygen, though how this is
possible is currently unknown to the citizens. Only the king and
queen of Gireathe-Jin seems to know how.[/li]
[li]Towun Town: a small fishing town located to the west of
Titian City. Most fish are caught here.[/li]
[li]Kozni Town: a small town located on a small island in the
middle of Lake Lákč. Oddly, it has palm trees.[/li]
[li]Désert Desert: a desert surrounding Portia City.[/li]
[li]Fřrest Forest: a forest surrounding Grisen Village. South
is Swamp Swĺmp, and east is Mount Mňúnt.[/li]
[li]Lake Lákč: a lake between Désert Desert, Mount Mňúnt and
Swamp Swĺmp. In the center of the lake is a small island where
Kozni Town is found.[/li]
[li]Swamp Swĺmp: a swamp between Lake Lákč and Fřrest Forest. A
lot of toxic plants are here, however, forcing travelers to wear
gas masks. In addition, there are a lot of monsters here, so
even with gas masks, traveling through this swamp isn't
safe.[/li]
[li]Růîn Ruins: ruins located in the center of Swamp Swĺmp.
What remains are a lot of toxic plants and various damaged or
destroyed buildings, as well as a lot of skeletons that seem not
to be decaying.[/li]
[li]Mount Mňúnt: a mountain west of Fřrest Forest, and east of
Lake Lákč. Inside the hazardous caverns are ores that give off
toxic gases, and deeper inside, one can find Umbridge City.[/li]
[li]Mřůntĺěn Mountain: a mountain north of Titian City, and
south of Lake Lákč.[/li]
[/list]

CURRENCY:
The currency of Gireathe-Jin is Dark Coins - these are black
coins forged with ores imbued with darkness.[hr]SCHOOLS:
Each school on the continent has the same curriculum and similar
uniforms, where the only differences are the school jackets, the
school emblems and the colors of the skirts and socks.
Boys wear school jackets with white long-sleeved shirts and grey
trousers with knee-high socks (which may be either grey or the
school's official color) and black school shoes, with a
full-face gas mask, at all times. Their hair may reach the neck,
but any longer than that is forbidden for them.
Girls wear school jackets with white long-sleeved shirts, skirts
(of any length, though anything shorter than a miniskirt is
banned), and black school shoes, with a full-face gas mask, at
all times. During the summer, they may wear knee-high socks or
thigh-high stockings, but during the winter, they may wear
thigh-high stockings or opaque tights (all hosiery may be black,
or the official color of the school). Their hair may be at any
length, but if it is longer than shoulder-length, they are to
tie their hair up in ponytails or twintails. If a girl chooses
to wear a miniskirt, she must wear tights.
During the winter, girls may wear gloves and/or mittens of any
length as well, though boys may not. Make-up is entirely
forbidden, unless there is a school concert (in which case
students participating in the school play can forgo the usual
school uniform on the day of the school concert).

the emblem over the left side of the chest. Boys are to wear

MILITARY:
The military of Gireathe-Jin is known for its constant use of
chemical weaponry. While their leader, General of the Army
Sereńa Burnette, doesn't approve of it, she has been unable to
persuade the kings and queens of the continent to cease the use
and manufacturing of these weapons. Due to the chemical weapons
being commonly used, citizens of Gireathe-Jin all have gas masks
with them at all times; it's part of school uniforms on the
continent as well. The very first documented use of chemical
weaponry was in 1852.[hr]CRIME AND PUNISHMENT:
Criminals are executed in gas chambers, though the poison gas
used depends on the severity of the crimes. For minor crimes
like theft and jaywalking, the criminals are only slightly
poisoned and then thrown in a jail cell; if they die there, the
police officers simply bury the dead criminals. If they survive,
they are to remain there for a set duration (usually five to ten
years for theft). Murderers, on the other hand, are exposed to
toxic gas until they die. The more murders they committed, the
more poisonous the gases used will be, and thus the faster their
deaths will be (usually); murderers with at least fifty kills
are generally executed with nerve agents like VX gas. However,
if somehow they are immortal or unable to die from the poisonous
gas, they are simply buried alive.

PAST KINGS AND QUEENS:
As a monarchy, people would expect the kings and queens to have
a list of the past kings and queens somewhere. The list
currently consists of:
[list]
[li]King Alfonso Fernández I and Queen Elena Masamune (1450 -
1500)[/li]
[li]King Alfonso Fernández II and Queen Erin Hikari (1500 -
1587)[/li]
[li]King Alfonso Fernández III and Queen Elis von Camera (1587
- 1638)[/li]
[li]King Alfonso Fernández IV and Queen García Hosokawa I (1638
- 1690)[/li]
[li]King Alfonso Fernández V and Queen García Hosokawa II (1690
- 1730)[/li]
[li]King Alfonso Fernández VI and Queen García Hosokawa III
(1730 - 1755)[/li]
[li]King Rodrigo Díaz and Queen Ximena Díaz (1755 - 1790)[/li]
[li]King Richard and Queen Richardis (1790 - 1850)[/li]
[li]King Zordon and Queen Nordez (1850 - 1901)[/li]

[li]King Heinrich III and Queen Taialich III (1994 - 2010)[/li]
[li]King Lou and Queen Ki (2010 - 2016)[/li]
[/list]Royalty having last names are very rare. The very first
King and Queen of this continent were King Alfonso Fernández I
and Queen Elena Masamune who began their rule in 1450; prior to
this, the country had no rulers at all.
