"Ihn Ori'al El Aradusu Aderrid." - Mysterious motto of the Island before colonization, discovered by archaeologist and first settler StoryStudio at the beginnings of the era of colonization, on the 15th of August, 2020.

Shyr-Arrak, meaning, "small mound" in a long forgotten ancient language, is a rapidly developing, urban territory within sight of the great spawn. It is part of the Empire of Yimmu Audal (Nation) and is the capital for this powerful nation, second only to Apollo by population.

Written in a triangle-shaped symbol script, the words "Shyr-Arrak" were discovered by StoryStudio after an examination of a birch tree log found in the island. With the help of hired linguistics experts with access to more artifacts bearing similar inscription styles, this player was able to decode the words, and subsequently name the first player settlement on the landmass in possibly centuries such.

The primary political goals of Shyr-Arrak include maintaining and establishing friendly relations with all neighbors and act as an attractive stop for visitors coming from the great spawn.

One of the first nether portals of the world had been constructed by ancient peoples long ago inhabiting the island. During the era of colonization, the first established town government appropriated this ancient technology, levying a tax on passing-by travelers to be deposited in a chest tollway. Entry through the nether portal costs 1 item The economy of Shyr-Arrak depends highly on gold and iron mining, although several crops including sugar cane, beetroot, wheat, and pumpkins are beginning to be farmed. Another remnant of civilization pre colonization by the present government includes an expansive subterranean network of mines, abandoned by the mysterious people once inhabiting this tiny landmass. In more modern times, the island also boasts a pig, sheep, and chicken farm as well as melons, bamboo, carrots, and potatoes. A few smaller islands off the coast of Shyr-Arrak properly host a sugar cane farm.
