Geography
Not much is known about the geography of Winaklana. What is known was relayed by one of the few travelers who have returned, Horatio. In his book, Undiscovered Norymna, he describes Winaklana as a country with "Wet springs, dry and hot summers, and bitterly cold winters." He goes on to say "The topography of the country is fairly flat. The foothills of the Winak Mountains lie in the western portion. In the southwestern area is a large lake which provides water for the whole country. There is a sophisticated series of canals which brings water to the farmers in the eastern portion of the country."

Culture
Little is known of the culture of the Kalashtar, the beings who make their home in Winaklana. However, they are according to Horatio, very hospitable to outsiders. He describes the Kalashtar as living in communes where food and other necessities for life are shared. However, this does not mean they do not have personal property. The people speak what Horatio called Winak. While he was barely able to understand what they told him while awake, he was bombarded by voices that he thought were speaking clear Canaren the first time he fell asleep. The second time he fell asleep, a lone voice gave him a basic understanding of their culture, their cities and fluency in their language.

Pegada
According to Horatio, this commune lies in the far eastern portion of the country and is incredibly isolated because no main roads reach it. Outsiders are not normally welcomed here.

Manuta
This commune lies in the southern portion of the country. Most travelers who come to Winaklana travel through this city. While the citizens are not used to outsiders, they are very welcoming and enjoy their presence. This seems to be the cultural capital of the country.

Ravatar
This commune is on Lake Ravatar which is the large lake in the western portion of the country. There is a large fishing industry here. No outsiders are allowed in this commune.

Heltana
This commune is in the western part of the country and is also located on Lake Ravatar. It is a fairly small commune and they are eager to welcome outsiders. However, not many pass through this part of the country
