 ===== Overview =====
-Splint is the newest "country" of Cahyali. With a landscape ranging from lush rainforest to arid desert and breezy islands, this area has changed hands many different times over its long history. First ruled over by the Tonameyoti Atlaca (Tonatiu) people, then by Imperial Dahabu, then by the fallen Zinaparo Kingdom, then by Ley'Ork, Splint struggles to find itself an identity in the mishmosh of influences vying for dominance in the region. Splint has no government, but its people are beginning to find a shared cultural identity - for now, this is mostly centered around resistance against Ley'Orkian occupation, but through the efforts of certain groups and the rebels' steady pushback, it is growing into more. Certainly, Splint has a bright future ahead of it... if it manages to unite.

-In Blake's Cove, among other locations, strange sinkholes exist called //cenotes.// At the right time, leaping into one of these cenotes will lead not simply to one's unpleasant death by gravity, but to an underground realm known as [[settings:cahyali:itlanyouali|Itlan-Youali]]. The Tonatiu persist here, unseen and unknown to the rest of the world until recently.

 When exposed to sunlight, the obsidian will shine a golden hue and give off its own light, actually absorbing the sun's energy. When exposed to moonlight, the obsidian will instead shine silvery white, though it cannot actually absorb energy from the moon. This energy can then be tapped into by individuals attuned to specific crystals, though crystals will ambiently let off sun energy if it is not specifically attuned.

+==== Regions ====
+Splint is colloquially split into four regions, though there is no central government to define official provinces.
+ === La Sepultura ===
+A vast jungle with a myriad of species and peoples within. Sure you can find your normal creatures like monkeys, exotic birds, and plenty of insects, but in the hidden reaches of the trees the fabled alebrijes dwell, a true sight to behold with their numerous appearances and colors, no two alebrijes are the same. La Sepultura is also the home of the local butterfly population during the colder months, migrating to Los Circulos during the warmer months.
+ === Volcan Tletzintli ===
+The tallest peak in Splint, located right on the waterfront. In the tales of the Tonatiu, Volcan Tletzintli was the first gift of [[gods:tlayahucoatl|Tlayahucoatl]] to the Tonatiu, granting the early settlers the gifts of fire and light from the remains of the Sun that came before this one. Today, Volcan Tletzintli is a dormant volcano and a popular destination for Ley’Ork tourists.
+ === Los Circulos ===
+The name for the vast islands dotted off the coast of mainland Splint. The most common methods of transport about these islands is by use of personal boats, though some travelers do rent out places on commercial ships to travel or hire local Earth Mages to construct temporary bridges.
+ === Desierto de los Leones ===
+A vast stretch of deserts, badlands, and arid plains stretching all the way to Ley’Ork. There are a multitude of nomadic communities throughout the deserts surviving off the land. There is also a surprisingly large population of giant bees that live within the flowers of local cactuses.
+==== Governance & Laws ====
 Splint has no central government, and no single codified book of laws. However, most commonly understood criminal acts will get one punished by whatever tough do-gooder manages to walk by: things like assault, murder, and theft will all likely get you thrown into a local prison.
