Prilieha

Prilieha is a fictional geographical location that appears in the fantasy novel "The Sunstone" by Mary Annless. It is described as a small, isolated island kingdom situated in the northern hemisphere. The climate of Prilieha is characterized by long, cold winters and short, mild summers. The inhabitants of Prilieha are known for their resilience and self-sufficiency, having adapted to the harsh environment over generations.

The kingdom's economy is primarily based on fishing and the harvesting of unique marine resources found in the surrounding waters. Legends and folklore play a significant role in Priliehan culture, with many stories passed down through oral tradition. The political structure of Prilieha is a monarchy, ruled by a single king or queen.

In "The Sunstone," Prilieha serves as a refuge for the protagonist, Elara, after she flees her homeland. The island's isolation and the distinctiveness of its people contribute to the narrative by offering a stark contrast to the more familiar settings and political machinations of the mainland. The unique resources and traditions of Prilieha also become important plot elements, aiding Elara in her quest. The island's mystical qualities are hinted at, though not fully explored within the novel.
