Isle of Kirin

The Isle of Kirin is a cold, wintery island ruled by the Kirin Clan. They are viewed with a great deal of fear and mistrust by the rest of the continent as they are secretive and cut themselves from any contact with others as well as being fanatics of "purity."

Geography
At the extreme western end of the Great Continent, the Isle suffer some of its harshest winters. The roads through their territories are generally small and winding, making them very hazardous in winter. To deal with these conditions, the peoples have developed special outerwear for the winter months. They have cloaks to keep them warm and special shoes that allow them to walk atop the thick snows. These allow the families of the Kirin Clans to stay in contact with each other even in the deepest winter.
