| Gireathe-Jin is one of the seven natural Newerthian continents. | |
| [hr] | |
| NAME:Pronunciation: gureedhjin | |
| IPA: /ɡɜrˈiː� 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 | |
| http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonbogiri. | |
| Surrounding the village | |
| is F�rest Forest.[/li] | |
| [li]Portia City: a city located to the far northern parts of | |
| the continent, and located in the middle of D�sert Desert. | |
| Poisonous chemicals are manufactured in pyramids similar to | |
| those found in Egypt | |
| http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_pyramids. | |
| Clothing and | |
| protective gear (like gas masks, hazmat suits, etc.) are made in | |
| pyramids similar to ziggurats | |
| http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ziggurat. | |
| Food is produced at | |
| pyramids similar to Nubian pyramids | |
| 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 M�nt. 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 L�k�. Oddly, it has palm trees.[/li] | |
| [li]D�sert Desert: a desert surrounding Portia City.[/li] | |
| [li]F�rest Forest: a forest surrounding Grisen Village. South | |
| is Swamp Sw�mp, and east is Mount M�nt.[/li] | |
| [li]Lake L�k�: a lake between D�sert Desert, Mount M�nt and | |
| Swamp Sw�mp. In the center of the lake is a small island where | |
| Kozni Town is found.[/li] | |
| [li]Swamp Sw�mp: a swamp between Lake L�k� and F�rest 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]R��n Ruins: ruins located in the center of Swamp Sw�mp. | |
| 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 M�nt: a mountain west of F�rest Forest, and east of | |
| Lake L�k�. Inside the hazardous caverns are ores that give off | |
| toxic gases, and deeper inside, one can find Umbridge City.[/li] | |
| [li]M��nt��n Mountain: a mountain north of Titian City, and | |
| south of Lake L�k�.[/li] | |
| [/list] | |
| [hr] | |
| 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). | |

| MILITARY: | |
| The military of Gireathe-Jin is known for its constant use of | |
| chemical weaponry. While their leader, General of the Army | |
| Sere�a 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 Fern�ndez I and Queen Elena Masamune (1450 - | |
| 1500)[/li] | |
| [li]King Alfonso Fern�ndez II and Queen Erin Hikari (1500 - | |
| 1587)[/li] | |
| [li]King Alfonso Fern�ndez III and Queen Elis von Camera (1587 | |
| - 1638)[/li] | |
| [li]King Alfonso Fern�ndez IV and Queen Garc�a Hosokawa I (1638 | |
| - 1690)[/li] | |
| [li]King Alfonso Fern�ndez V and Queen Garc�a Hosokawa II (1690 | |
| - 1730)[/li] | |
| [li]King Alfonso Fern�ndez VI and Queen Garc�a Hosokawa III | |
| (1730 - 1755)[/li] | |
| [li]King Rodrigo D�az and Queen Ximena D�az (1755 - 1790)[/li] | |
| [li]King Richard and Queen Richardis (1790 - 1850)[/li] | |
| [li]King Zordon and Queen Nordez (1850 - 1901)[/li] | |
| [li]King Heinrich I and Queen Taialich I (1901 - 1960)[/li] | |
| [li]King Heinrich II and Queen Taialich II (1960 - 1994)[/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 Fern�ndez I | |
| and Queen Elena Masamune who began their rule in 1450; prior to | |
| this, the country had no rulers at all. | |
