The Mud Kingdom

Key Characters

Animus Dragons

Animus dragons in the Mud Kingdom are incredibly rare, with only four known to have existed. Of the four, three have been hybrids, further emphasizing the lack of animus genes in the MudWing tribe. Despite this, animus magic has had a deep impact on the kingdom; the MudWing Massacre of 8103 is often blamed on a rogue MudWing animus, and several enchanted items are tucked away in the Mud Kingdom treasury.

Geography

The Mud Kingdom is situated on the back of the Pyrrhian continent, much like the canon book counterpart. Being at one of the lowest parts of the continent, it is prone to flooding; the fauna and flora reflect this with their semi-aquatic properties, able to thrive in watery landscapes. Similarly, it is situated close enough to Pretarsi’s equator to be in the planet’s subtropical zone, giving the Kingdom a warm and humid climate. As such, snow in the Mud Kingdom is rare but not unheard of.

The lush climate in the Mud Kingdom lends itself to a wide array of organisms. While it is not as biodiverse as the Rainforest Kingdom, the kingdom’s swamps host an impossible amount of insect species. Large aquatic plants like lily pads and reed grass decorate the swamps, sheltering a myriad of fish and supporting the diets of crocodilians. A keen eye may even spot a capybara straying north from the Rainforest’s borders, a welcome sight to many weary and hungry from travel.

Economy

Currency

The Mud Kingdom, similar to other Pyrrhian regions, operate on bartering as their primary form of commerce. Valuables such as gold and jewels are on occasion traded for goods and services, but more often service is performed for goods necessary to survival such as food. Art such as pottery is traded for meat, meat is traded as payment for construction work, et cetera.
