Aerdis (AIR-DISS)
Summary
Aerdis is a region with very few settlements, allowing it to boast greater expanses of undeveloped land than most other nations in Aen. While it has embraced modern industry with as much fervor as other nations, the sparsity of its cities allows Aerdis to remain a mostly-untouched, allowing for gorgeous views of its landscape from within the comfort of a modern-day penthouse.
With its beautiful and diverse landscape, Aerdis is among the most beautiful places in all of Aen; some have compared the region to the continent of Hrol due to the density of its forests and the presence of enormous spires and pinnacles scattered throughout it rather than standard mountains.
Geography
Aerdis is a vast tropical landscape that graudally bleeds into the plains of eastern Buern. Most of the rainforest that propagates much of Aerdis, dubbed the Glassar, is on its western side. The Glassar's unruly jungle eventually gives way to a smaller forest with more even terrain, Tengoshi Forest, which it shares with Zukei.
