I think stuff like this exists in real life, but they’re places air flows in a certain direction, like a sea current. They occur high up, so they’re used in conjunction with skreel to get around very quickly.
As far as other information, here’s some of the more interesting aspects.
- The sun rises in the West.
- All cardinal directions are capitalized, so they’re more like places than directions.
- To explore what I said about the language a little bit more, there are certain words that appear often. One of these is “ra” which means land and is used as a prefix and suffix. The world’s name is Jolara, or shining land. Obviously, jola means shining or shine. This word is also used in Jolkala, or the Castle of Light. Kala means castle, and it used in Kala’Teer. This is translated Castle Teer, because its a castle built in a city called Teer.
- There are two swords that were forged at the beginning of time, and they will be used in the villain’s death at the end of the world. These are called Tir Begit and Tir Finit, and they also have meanings, but I’ve gone deep enough into my translations for now I think.
