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.

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.
