    Iris Mocking Jay expected to make a comeback?

    The Iris Mocking Jay has recently been spotted again. This elusive bird’s population took a dramatic downturn after the violent earthquakes, landslides and volcanic eruptions that shook Chroma apart. Recent sightings by trained spotters have revealed that this bird has indeed made a comeback, evidence suggest that the species did not take as big of a hit population wise as it was previously thought. If you see an mocking jay it is advised to not approach or antagonise this rare bird, if there is one jay around there are bound to be more nearby. These birds are territorial, have a history of attacking foes much larger than themselves, and like to attack in groups.

    Be on the lookout for nests, cutting down or harming a tree that have jay nest in them has been known to lead to bird attacks. The Iris Mocking Jay likes to nest in mid sized trees. They construct nest of twigs weaved together with twine or grass, surrounded by a layer of leaves on the outside of the nest, these leaves overlap in order to provide a better seal against the elements and to act as a second barrier. The nest-builder then proceeds to slather the nest in a protective coating of mud in order to cement the nest to its branch in the tree and to bind the nest together.

    The bird itself is a rather beautiful sight. The Iris Mocking Jay stands at roughly 22 cm. It has a somewhat long, violet legs. The upper feathers tend to be a grey-brownish color, while the lower feathers tend to be a white or grey color. These bird's have iris colored shoulders, and tail feathers of the same hue. This magnificent bird has a long, violet, curved beak and purplish eyes surrounded by dark patch. Thier calls tend to vary from bird to bird, seeing as how they are able to memorize certain tunes that they find enjoyable, but the most common call is one short, shrill chirp followed by a long whistle that gets higher then lower in pitch.

    Visit scenic Fort Iris today!

    Fort Iris is home to the beautiful range of mountains, forest, and prairies, along with world class resorts and tourist attractions. With beautiful, natural, landscapes, a variety of flora and fauna that are native to only the region, and urban hotspots there is something for everyone.

    Fort Iris not only has the previously mentioned sights, but boast a rich, and proud history. The fort started as a humble outpost for fur traders and mountain men who were nestled in the region. This fort has predates all other buildings in Fort Iris, both the territory and the city. This small fort soon grew to become the hub of trade and activity in the region. This humble fort was in use for roughly 100 years and is still standing today. After about 47 years after it was originally built Fort Iris appealed to admitted as the sixth territory of the Periwinkle Kingdom. The fort was then made into the capital,since at the time it had the largest population and was easily defendable due to being surrounded by mountains. The territory was then formed around the newly made Pervinca and around the Fort lapis land grant, that at this point was still just frontier land and was mostly unsettled. The capital city, Fort Iris, was then fortified and infrastructure was strengthened. This in turn led to a rise in smaller communities. This informative guide will outline some of the premier locations in Fort Iris.

    The capital city, Fort Iris, offers many attractions including: the Iris Bounce Castle and Ball Pit Park, the Iris embassy, and the Governor’s mansion, as well as the historic fort district. The city of Fort Iris itself is divided into districts. For example most, if not all housing will be found in the residential district, while all large factories and processing plants will be found in the Industrial district. This set up while it may seem confusing or pointless, it is done so that in the case of an invasion or quarantine certain portions of the city could be cut off from other districts in order to protect the other districts.Like mentioned earlier there are districts, four districts to be specific.The old historic district is near the center of the city. It contains many of the first buildings of the city, including Fort Iris,and many old homes and shops. This district is very popular among tourist since it houses the old fort and as such many other tourist attractions are located nearby. Past the historic district is the residential district. This district contains many high rise, modern buildings and houses the majority of the population and is home to many small mom and pop stores, as well as schools, small chain stores, and clinics/hospitals. Next is the business district with its looming buildings that watch over the city. These buildings range from even the smallest of law firms to the large Weapon and Combat Manufacturers association building. These behemoths of buildings dot the city skyline, and create an impressive picture. Finally there is the industrial district. This district houses all non civilian transportation, private railways and cargo shipping, and all factories.

    If the mountains are not your thing, visit the sunny beaches of Azure Shores. Miles, or kilometers, of white, sandy beaches await you. Originally a port, this small port grew to become very successful as it was an easier for merchants from Turquoise Moors to sell their wines and other spirits over boat travel instead of land. Many wine connoisseurs soon moved to the port of Azure, and brought their pocketbooks with them, to get closer to the fine wines that were being imported. This influx of money boosted the local economy, and led to the port growing and becoming a destination for wine lovers from all corners of Chroma. Soon the port grew to accommodate travelers and with it came many businesses associated with the wine industry and eventually the tourism industry. The City of Azure Shores is mostly composed of hotels, small local wineries, beaches,and of course tourist shops.

    Not a fan of beaches? No problem, the town of Iron Valley will be more than ready to accommodate you. This town originally was established as a mine, this mine was abundant in iron and other necessary building materials. When the mine grew, a small town sprouted up with it. Along with the small town a school focused on teaching the miners new techniques and along with safety measures was established. This school eventually grew, along with the town, and expanded what was taught. Soon this humble mining school grew to become Iris University of Science and Technology. Recently it strayed away from its roots and became a college town, full of students attending the University.

    If you are put off by the thought of a college town full of young people, visit the town of Overlook. the town of Overlook is built on and into the side of cliffs. While this may not sound structurally safe, policies are in place that involve checking and maintaining structural integrity. This town is located on what was an offshoot of the Great Chroman River. Due to its proximity to what used to be the river, the Republic of Bezold, Viper’s Peak, Midnight Marsh, and Pervinca it became a hub of traffic and as a result has one of the longest functioning rail yards. This history of being a hub of transportation for goods still stands true to this day. With trains coming and growing through the town and the oldest running train station located inside its boundaries, the town board of directors and the Chroma Historical Society decided that it would be an appropriate place to establish the Chroman Museum of Trains and Railcars.

    Looking to get back in touch with nature? Come see the recently re-opened Mt. Iris Nature Reserve. After the series of earthquakes that violently shocked the continent of Chroma Mt. Iris’s sister peak, Mt. Juno, collapsed. The Periwinkle Park Service has recently declared that the region is safe to visit again. Words cannot adequately describe how beautiful the environment is surrounding the reserve. Come and see where one of the biggest rock slides in Chroma history took place, camp and relax with the family, or have a picnic, the opportunities are endless at the Mt.Iris Nature Reserve.

    No matter what you are interested in, Iris has it. Visit Fort Iris today!

    As governor of Fort Iris, I declare a state of emergency. Due to the rock slides created by Mt. Juno collapsing it has became unsafe to be near the mountains. Because of this threat to the publics' safety all citizens living in the cities of Fort Iris, Overlook, and Iron Valley are to be evacuated and moved to safe zones near the city of Azul Shores. Government transportation will be provided for those who cannot travel there. All citizen that are to be evacuated have 24 hours to gather any belongings.
