Geography:

Birkina is based on the Egypt coast physical geography*. Rains are light when they do reach the island, but magical storms are angry things; Birkina has casters in every city to protect themselves against these storms. There isn't much seasonal changes here, staying hot and clear year round, although their winter does have intensely cold nights. Some animals seem to prefer this as they migrate here in the winter months, away from Solistal's constant cold.

*but only when I feel like it lol

Architecture:

Birkina's most famous natural phenomenon are it's Rainbow Bay, an almost constant rainbow connecting the far ends of the bay, and the largest known reef system in their waters, the Great (Barrier) Reef. There are also some sunken buildings along the coast, in a different style to GK's underwater buildings. Scholars love to visit the towns closest to them. The most memorable man-made wonder is the Dudrana Lighthouse, which connects them to the mainland. It is magically enhanced to function and assist sailors in storms as well. Much of the buildings designs come from Arabian/Egyptian architecture and are built around the few rivers and/or oasis' on the island. With fewer areas to settle, the cities tend towards bigger more clustered layouts as many more people stick to the river ways.

Trade/Commerce:

Kamikita holds Birkina's access to the mainland, and has a choke hold on trading overall, so Birkina has trouble with getting access to certain things. This also means Birkina depends on Kamikita for a lot of their livelihoods. They export lots of dyes, spices, and herbs. There are also lots of fruits, different to Kamikita's, that they'd be willing to trade if they weren't restricted. As it is, dyes and spices are asked for Klenith-wide so those are the most farmed and exported goods that Birkina has. Currency is often used for mainland trading, whereas it is goods bartering within Birkina.
