Editing Leng (section)

==Geography==
Leng is an island of forests and jungles, rich in [[spices]] and [[gemstone]]s.{{Ref|AWOIAF|Leng}} According to [[Lomas Longstrider]], the verdant isle of Leng is home to "ten thousand [[tiger]]s and ten million [[monkey]]s". The island is also famous for its great [[ape]]s, including spotted humpback apes, almost as intelligent as men, and hooded apes, large as giants and very strong.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Bones and Beyond: Leng}} Some of the [[w:Zebra|striped horselike creatures]] bred with [[horse]]s by the [[Jogos Nhai]] to create [[zorse]]s come from Leng.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Bones and Beyond: The Plains of the Jogos Nhai}}

The city of [[Leng Ma]] is located on the central western coast,{{Ref|AWOIAF|Leng Ma}} [[Leng Yi]] is a principal town on the northern coast,{{Ref|AWOIAF|Leng Yi}} and [[Turrani]] is a port city on the southern shore.{{Ref|AWOIAF|Turrani}} The people of northern Leng are descended from Yi Ti, while the people of southern Leng, the [[Lengii]], are a culture native to the island.{{Ref|AWOIAF|Leng}} The YiTish descendants appear very similar to the people of the [[Golden Empire of Yi Ti]], speaking a dialect of the [[YiTish language]], praying to the same gods, eating the same foods, following the same customs. They even venerate the [[azure emperor]] in [[Yin]], although they worship only the god-empress of Leng. Furthermore, Leng Ma and Leng Yi resemble YiTish cities in culture and design, whereas Turrani's Lengii culture is very different.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Bones and Beyond: Leng}}

In the depth of the island's jungles are strange ruined cities, with massive, fallen buildings. The buildings are so overgrown with plants that only rubble is visible, but underground are endless labyrinths of tunnels that lead to vast chambers, and carved steps descend hundreds of feet into the earth. No one knows when these cities were built or by whom, and perhaps they are the only thing remaining of some extinct people. Those who entered the underground ruins often returned mad, and even today it is forbidden to enter them, under penalty of death.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Bones and Beyond: Leng}}
