An overview of Rano.

Description and Geography

Map of Rano.

Rano is the part of Iria that Uladh's humans have just recently discovered as of the events of Generation 4. They have established an outpost, known as Qilla Base Camp, at the southwestern tip of the region. Explorers and Adventurers alike have flocked to visit the exotic new land; various Artifacts and Exploration Treasures can be found scattered across the land.

Rano features harmless Wild Mustangs and Wild Ostriches that can be ridden for a scenic ride. Taking a trip on all routes will reward the player with the The Horse and Ostrich Rider Title.

Stepping on all landmarks will reward the "The Explorer of Rano" title.

You do not need to visit the Monkey Mark to receive the title.

The Desert Dragon, Prairie Dragon and Giant Sandworm Raids occur in this region.

In order to travel deeper into Iria, with the exception of Solea, the player must travel across a Bridge.

Landmarks

The Human Mark, east of Maiz Prairie, a vast plain.
The Flower Mark, in the center of Maiz Prairie.
The Sheep Mark, northeast of Muyu Desert, a dry desert where the remnants of an old civilization may be found.

The caves to Solea (and Physis) are north of the Monkey Mark in Nubes Mountains.

Trivia

Concept artwork depicts Greco-Roman styled ruins in Rano that are not actually present.
A good amount of the Exploration Quests of Rano reference real-world mythology.
Despite being part of Rano, Nubes Mountains is separated from Rano map-wise.
- It is also one of the few regions in Iria where flight is impossible.
Qilla (also qhilla) is a Quechuan word meaning lazy or idle.
- It could also be q'illa, the Quechuan word meaning scar or wound.
Kaypi is the Quechuan word for this is/here/here is. It is made up of the word kay (this, being, existence, or to be) and the locative suffix -pi (meaning at the or at).
Canyon comes from the Spanish word cañón meaning canyon/cannon/tube, itself formed from caño (tube) and the augmentative suffix -ón (typically used to denote largeness, emphasis, and large quantity).
- Together, Kaypi Canyon as a whole could be seen as meaning something like "this here is the canyon".
The area around Kaypi Canyon's Sun Mark was reworked with the Generation 18 Iria renewal.
- Likewise, Muyu Desert's Ruins and dragon bones were added with it.
Karu is a Quechuan word meaning far away.
According to the Mystery of the Karu Forest, Karu's trees are known as Tikka.
- Using the Nearby Rumors Keyword on Weide reveals that Connous was once also covered in Tikka trees; this might explain why Elves frequently make use of the plant.
Muyu is a Quechuan word meaning circle, round, ball, seed, or egg.
According to an ancient book, a meteorite fell in Muyu Desert and the poisonous material started to change the once beautiful land into a desert.
