Iridia is the region of nature, one of the five continental nations of Solaria. Together with Theknus it forms the Southern League, the southern coalition of the island.
In the system of symbolic geography Iridia answers the question of where: it is the territory in which the world is observed as environment, as living body, and as inhabited place.
Iridia on the map of Solaria: the eastern coast of the island, on the Iridian Sea.
Domains
To Iridia belong ecology, geography, agriculture, zoology, botany, meteorology, and all disciplines directly connected to the study, respect, and protection of living matter. Medicine also falls within it, understood as the ecology of the human body.
Capitals
The two capitals of Iridia are Prahna (C) and Gea (G), a perfect fifth apart from one another.
Prahna is the vital breath that permeates all things, the invisible principle that makes life possible; Gea embodies the solidity of the earth, attention to the organic and biological world, the care of that which grows. Together they represent a nature that is at once body and breath, form and flow.
The two capitals: Prahna to the northeast, on the coast, and Gea inland, toward the Gulf of Kora.
Symbolism
The two capitals of Iridia hold the southern pole of two elements: Prahna that of matter, understood as essence, and Gea that of space, understood as singularity. Both are joined by a meridian to their respective opposite cities of Axia, Nexus, and Mugen.
