Geography
East Hiel is the westernmost province of Domnonia, bordered by the Province of Algar and the Province of Inlad. It is bound on the west by the nation of Hiel, south by the Bay of Yuril and the Bay of Inlad.
East Hiel's capital is Ungava. Ungava is located on the eastern coast of Yuril Bay. Ungava is also Domnonia's second most populous metropolitan area, reaching from the eastern shores of Yuril Bay to the southernmost tips of the East Hiel Isthmus. Other major cities include Maedon, Deira, Arcium, Acie, Kendorn, and Adera.
Much of the East Hiel Isthmus is covered by a temperate rain forest, one of a mere handful of such ecosystems in the world (notable others being on the Malabran Coast and in Riconiaa and The Ayyubids). The province's mainland has snowy, cold winters, especially in the range. The coast and Isthmus are temperate in many places, where the climate is moderated by the neighbouring bays and secluding range to the north. In the interior, summer temperatures can be quite warm, even notably hot and there are large semi-arid areas and a few localities classifiable as pocket deserts, including at the towns of Onad and Jgnak. There is more than one spot in East Hiel that has recorded peak summer temperatures of 43.3 °C (110 °F) and an ongoing rivalry exists between the interior towns of Pell and Onad for the title of "Mainland Domnonia's Hot Spot".
