the Senan Region
The Senan Region (セナン地方) is a region in Suikoden, located in the Toran Republic.
Overview[]
This region, known domestically as "the North" and referred to as "Senan" by the City-States of Jowston, is characterized by its arid climate, with 70% of the land covered by the Karakas Desert. The dry winds that blow through this area are called the Red Wind.
The wall that extends into the desert predates the founding of the Scarlet Moon Empire and is rumored to have been built by the Holy Kingdom of Harmonia.
The area surrounding Moravia Castle belongs to the temperate zone, offering a mild and calm climate.
The area is rumoured in legends to have been turned from a once-lush state into the desert and badlands during a duel between the ancient, powerful mages Crowley and Mazus, who blew away the mountains and reduced the region to it's current state. The area has a harsh climate, and literally no cities within it - only military personal may enter the region. As such, Senan has no trade, no industry and a very sparse population.
It was invaded by Jowston during the Toran Liberation War after Mathiu Silverberg sent a letter informing Jowston that the Scarlet Moon Empire was planning to invade them. The soldiers ambushed the reinforcements and invaded the region.
