 The remaining lands are green and fertile and much of it is devoted to recreational gardens or farmland. The Xurientals enjoy growing things with their mandibles. As a result, the terrain everywhere is carefully manicured and aesthetically balanced, leaving little room for wild growth or open field.

 The Xuriental folk are much like Ghyllians, only with a more bluish cast to their chitin and with black-tipped mandibles. Over the years, it has been proven that Xurientals and Ghyllians can (and do) mate and that the whelps often have the familiar Ghyllian green carapace but retain the black-tipped mandibles of their Xuriental parent.
-Xurientals as a culture, however, are not welcoming of strangers, and have been known to completely ignore the presence of non-Xurientals. Croam Olpo noted in his celebrated travelogue that his uncle was so ignored that he faded out and was completely transparent for days.

		+	The mysterious '''Xurient''' with it's [[Hungfold]] forests and peaceful farmlands is a picturesque land which, although known, isn't well understood. The breach to the Xurient [[Orthogonality]] is many days journey to the east on the [[Egron]] trail. Over 230 leles of travel over rough terrain and tracks until you reach the Pretty Impressive Fence which marks the border of the Xurient.
		+
		+	==Geography==
		+	The Pretty Impressive Fence is described as a massive structure towering a full lunanit high and stretching nearly an entire lele in length. The expedition of Croam Olpo circa -430 [[EC]] that first established trade with the Xurient recorded that the structure was already old at that time, despite being made mostly of [[Hungfold]] bark and burlap. For whatever reason, the Fence continues to stand today.
		+
		+	Croam Olpo is also responsible for much of the allure of the Xurient for Ghyllians. He described their cities as massively ornate edifices encrusted with [[Grupfish]] scales and glittering in the sunrise like rainbows of color.
		+
		+	The land is green and fertile and much of it is devoted to recreational gardens or farmland. The Xurientals enjoy growing things with their mandibles. As a result, the terrain everywhere is carefully manicured and aesthetically balanced leaving little room for wild growth or open field.
		+
		+	==People==
		+	The Xuriental folk are much like Ghyllians only with a more bluish cast to their chitin and with black-tipped mandibles. Over the years it has been proven that Xurientals and Ghyllians can (and do) mate and that the whelps often have the familiar Ghyllian green carapace but retain the black-tipped mandibles of their Xuriental parent.
		+
		+	==Trade==
		+	While the Xurient has surely changed since the days of Croam Olpo travel there has never been easy as crossing [[Orthogonality\|orthogonalities]] is difficult and treacherous. Despite this, trade expeditions travel there regularly carrying [[Darseed]], Ooo, [[Luminous Manuscripts]], [[Mute Chuckarando\|chuckarando]] fur and other goods and return with [[Underuse]], [[Tuckagotcha]], crafts and [[Vlorm]].
		+
		+	Despite risks and heavy losses to bandits and natural terrors going both ways, the demand for these items has made it a lucrative business.
		+
		+	==Politics==
		+	The Xurientals are ruled absolutely by a Hive-Queen who lives in the splendor of the Forgotten City attended by her court of the greatest minds and seers of the generation. Unfortunately everyone has forgotten where it is, so they elected a council called the Convenience Party to run things until they find her again.
