Editing Chandrar

'''Chandrar''', also referred to as the '''Windswept Lands''',<ref name=":3" /> is the largest continent and is mostly composed of desert. It is populated by [[Humans]], [[String People]], [[Garuda]] and even [[Beastkin]].

== Overview ==
Chandrar is the least-populated continent proportional to its size due to its harsh deserts.<ref name=":13">{{VERef|Heroes of Hraace (Pt. 1)}}</ref> The people who live here are generally considered strong of spirit and resilient, moreso than those of other continents. It is also the continent with more visible evil than any other continent.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/07/25/8-32/ Chapter 8.32]</ref> Slavery is common and wars are frequent on this desert continent.

== History ==
Chandrar has a long history with many kingdoms rising and falling over the centuries. Much of that history has been lost to time.

Back when Germina and the other Shield Kingdoms were still young, Zeikhal was flowering grasslands, and not the vast desert it is in modern times.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/05/27/7-25/ Chapter 7.25]</ref>

Over ten thousand years ago, [[Vampires]] had taken Chandrar like they did the rest of the world. One of their own, the [[Quarass]] of the time, was convinced that their influence must be removed. She went to one of their greatest lairs and poisoned their bloodwells. She was killed, but her next incarnation led the army of Germina to finish off the survivors. The nine Shield Kingdoms and other nations of the era rose up, and Chandrar was the first continent to drive off the Vampires.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/09/13/7-46-k/ Chapter 7.46 K]</ref>

The longest magical typhoon on record, which had ended the Faertrade Era, landed on Chandrar and changed the landscape and climate for six months.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/09/23/7-49/ Chapter 7.49]</ref>

Prior to Flos' rise to power, parts of the continent were colonized or occupied by foreign powers. Notably, the Terandrians controlled nations in the east, and Lizardfolk had influence in the west.<ref name=":14" />

Around ten years ago, [[Flos Reimarch]] nearly conquered all of Chandrar and threw off the Terandrian occupation, before entering his slumber.

== Geography ==
It is located south of [[Izril]].

Most of Chandrar's lands are inhospitable and have dry arid ground, but it also has valley and places where nature blooms.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/01/09/4-01-k/ Chapter 4.01 K]</ref>
