| - | The land changes from the heavy wetlands and marsh of the south to the rugged topography of the north near the [[Stoneheart Mountains]]. Most of the region is comprised of low, flat to rolling terrain that gradually rises in a northeastern line. The land has rich soil that is good for agriculture allowing the nations to produce more food that is needed for their people. | + | The land changes from the heavy wetlands and marsh of the south to the rugged topography of the north near the [[atlas:Stoneheart Mountains]].

| - | The southern topology is bordered by the [[Black River]] [[wp>river delta|delta]] on the east and the [[Garam Paya]] (Great Salt Swamp) in the central-west. The area between is dominated by relatively flat lowlands and thousands of small lakes. The elevations range from 3 meters at the coastline to 152 meters at [[Tenebrae Mountains]] which cut northwest to southeast at the the southern border of [[Selcaria]]. | + | The southern topology is bordered by the [[Black River]] [[wp>river delta|delta]] on the east and the [[atlas:Garam Paya]] (Great Salt Swamp) in the central-west.

| - | West of the [[Caragan Sea]] the land is comprised of large rolling hills, plenty of rainfall, and temperatures moderated by the two seas it borders. Until the Xianese clear-cut their land, the area was dominated by large hardwood forests and rich in native species. The elevations of the land continue to rise to the north but stays below 400 meters above [[wp>sea level]]. | + | West of the [[atlas:Caragan Sea]] the land is comprised of large rolling hills, plenty of rainfall, and temperatures moderated by the two seas it borders.

| - | East of the Caragan Sea the topology is mostly gentle rolling hills and vast [[wp>prairies]]. Rainfall decreases dramatically from west to east resulting in different types of prairie, with [[wp>tallgrass prarie]] in the wetter west eventually giving way to mixed-grass prairie in the east. The land is well-suited to many different grain crops from corn/soybean in the west to wheat/rye in the east. Like the land west of the Caragan Sea the elevation of the land rises slowly, never reaching above 500 meters, from south to north until reaching the [[Druyen Highlands]] Ridge which rises sharply and divides [[Irill]] from [[Krandryia]]. | + | East of the Caragan Sea the topology is mostly gentle rolling hills and vast [[wp>prairies]].

| - | The northern region is marked by cold winters and dry summers. The topology is comprised of sharply rising hills and deep valleys in the south to southeast and becomes more mountainous as it goes north. The land is dominated by the [[Stoneheart Mountains]] to the north and the three large rivers that originate there, the [[Zun River]], [[Blüt River]], and [[Lech River]]. The western area is the Druyen Highlands has the highest elevation and the least amount of rainfall of anywhere in the realms. It is generally described as cold even during the summer and hammered by bitterly cold winds during the winter. | + | |
