Sarnoem sarnOm

Sarnoem /sarnɯm/ is a landlocked country located on the western continent, far from aseritonum but near from juryeb. Its craton has a partially mountaineous terrain and most of the country has a semi-arid climate. It is known for an industry that revolves on crystal magic, due to its mines having an abundant supply of gemstones that catalyse aetheric processes. In many parts of the region, crystalline polyhedrons can be seen hovering above the landscape. Over many eras of border changes, the humanoids and machines gradually expanded from communities based on clockwork-like craftsmanship to gain a rich literary frontier, thusly including singalong camps and storytelling warehouses. Indeed, barbarians from faraway lands can read too!

Sapient machines were found in a shut down state when the earliest tribes of humanoids discovered these regions more than 2500 years ago. Presumably, they were left by some advanced civilisation in the past. Voice simulation microchips enabled these machines to mimic the voices of humanoids, effectively allowing communication. It is not known if the humans learnt to speak the language of the older ones with the machines, or that the machines learnt to speak griushkoent from these newer humanoids. Some of these machines can hover slightly above the ground, whereas some others look like strange long objects.
