View source for Syrrit

Syrrit is a landlocked nation ruled by an Emir and is to be found in [[Klatch(Continent)|Klatch]], rimwards of [[Klatch]] and [[Tsort]] and hubwards of [[Elharib]] with a short border with [[Djelibeybi]]. [[Howondaland]] proper begins at its Rimwards border. Syrrit is a semi-desert country sheltered by the [[Mountains of the Moon]], which also act to prevent most of the rainclouds from getting over and wateering its arid grasslands. As a rersult the local sheep have become adept in spotting the signs of a downpour, and have evolved a speedy method of getting where the rain is and where the grass is - temporarily - growing lush and heavier. As a consequence of their possibly unique ability, their fleeces are used almost exclusively in the weaving of [[Magic Carpets]] and the [[Kh'olli]] dog has co-evolved to herd both sheep and carpets.  

==Annotation==
Syrrit appears to be in the same geographical region as sub-Saharan Africa. As for flying sheep... think of a certain [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLJvCuayeHg| Monty Python] sketch where the shee[p are trying hard but haven't ''quite]] managed it, as a bucolic farmer notes.
