Mission
This website is dedicated to recording any and all information related to our unique and beautiful world of Zeirenjier.
Sike! I'm only going to write about things I find fun in researching. I will mostly be describing what I know of Northern Ravenguard, and maybe some of the other Ravenguard regions, too. I'm writing very little of Distroia and Santhor, as I don't live there. #RavenguardPride
This will not be the Ultimate Chirua Compendium Vol. I through LVI, because it's tedious (and useless to me, frankly) to research every little detail about everything under Arwae. There are other websites on the internet with all that, and "peer-reviewed" resources, too. My website doesn't, and therefore cannot be a reliable source for school kids to plagiarize. Regrettably.
But are any of those websites in the process of commissioning Apollo Engemar to provide a few custom images that the articles need? No. The editors at the Chiruan Encyclopedia wish they were me. They might get more web traffic—and more money—than I do, but people will actually remember the information when I write about it.
The Archives are best viewed on desktops due to format oddities that I am not bothering to fix. #EveryManForHimself #WhatYouSeeIsWhatYouGet #YMMV

Locations
"Ravenguard" is the name of the country I live in that makes up most of the landmass of Chirua. Chirua is the continent, Zeirenjier is the planet.
Most of my in-depth knowledge is directly related to Northern Ravenguard, but I have written a little about other locations.
Creatures
Zeirenjier is home to many different types of wildlife and intelligent species. I've taken the time to research and document information about the most common creatures.
I've also written about a small number of specific, named beings I've learned about, respected or not.
Site Details
Information that may be useful regarding the function of the website.
- The Archives will be written entirely in Chiruikha 12. I don't know anything else.
- Life can be disturbing. Expect such content.
- Usage of Jeonzikha is for article context and I'll provide a translation if: 1) it's necessary, and 2) one of my siblings is willing to translate it for me. The words will be written out in Chiruikha 12 rather than the proper characters primarily because they do not play nice with my site's formatting and may not be seen by everyone.
- I will use mouseover text.
- Some of my articles will be massive walls of texts. I hope you love reading 😜
- There exist buttons that collapse text, and some of them look Like This [+], containing additional information that isn't required to understand the topic. You may forget what article you are on while reading the text revealed by these buttons.
- Consider my site incomplete and always in progress. Some articles will contain much less information than others, and some will eventually be in need of corrections. #ImNotPerfect #ImOnlyHuman
The Classic "Sample Text"
Regarding Jeonzikha: here's a quick guide to it. It'll be useful for anyone who doesn't know much about it. Such as myself. There should be enough information for casual browsing of the Archives. There are dedicated dictionary resources out there, so I won't bother with that on my site.
Jeonzikha is the official language for all of Zeirenjier, created by Lord Ravenienne himself to provide universal communication to the peoples under his watch. According to archives kept in the Grand Library of Zaergenzeral, Jeonzikha was once the only language spoken in the world. Cultural shifts in different geographical regions led to alterations in Jeonzikha, and the passage of time evolved them further into what is now Chiruikha and its variants.
This is a chart of the twenty-four characters, eight punctuation marks, and their closest Chiruikha 12 approximations. Jeonzen characters are properly pronounced in only one way. As all forms of Chiruikha originated from Jeonzikha, there are still words with their original Jeonzen spelling in common use, but pronounced within the rules of the Chiruikhan variant in question. I've listed some things that may cause the most confusion.
Jeonzen Instance | Chiruikha 12 Comparison | Jeonzen Instance | Chiruikha 12 Comparison |
---|---|---|---|
a | mark , call | c | cell , sand |
e | elk , then | g | guard , bag |
i | eel , peak | j | beige , vision |
o | own , pole | y | spear , reed |
u | spoon , cruel | ch | kit , card |

Not to be biased, but I do think this is a good site for basic knowledge about Chirua.

professor caught me copy-pasting because your writing is informal. 0 out of 10

User "swagdaddy7" is right; this site would benefit from professional editing.
