Shienar (pronounced: shy-NAHR) is one of the nations in the Borderlands, lying in the far northeast of the Westlands. The sign of Shienar is a swooping black hawk. By tradition, the sigil of the reigning ruler is also a sign of Shienar. Shienaran men normally shave their faces and wear their hair in a topknot.

ParallelsEdit

  • Shinar is an area mentioned several times in the Bible, meaning "two rivers" , possibly a reference to the two rivers, referring to areas of Mesopotamia.[1][2] In addition, another kingdom mentioned in Genesis 14:1 is Elasar, possibly transformed into Easar. The king of Shinar was Amrafel, possibly an inspiration in the naming of Arafel.
