Mira’s Well
Mira’s Well is an incredibly fertile floodplain which extends the habitable territory of The Realm into the typically inhospitable Desert at the Edge of Existence. Nourished by The Gush, an unpredictable river which flows from the crack in Oona’s Obelisk, Mira’s Well is home to the sprawling city of Frult Üft—a facsimile of the Earthling city of Los Angeles—and to the Aulvart, a dwarven “reimagining” of the Giza pyramid complex.
Geography
The region is bounded by the Realmish Mountains in the west and northwest and by the Desert at the Edge of Existence on all other sides. Geographically speaking, Mira’s Well is pleasant mix of hills and flat land. It is split down the middle by The Gush, the river which makes life here possible, and is dominated in the south by the massive Gallagher Lake.
Climate
Mira’s Well has a hot desert climate all year round. The heat is dry, sometimes uncomfortably so, and the region is prone to sandstorms. But the natural phenomenon The Well is best known for is the flooding of The Gush.
Thankfully for the people who call this place home, the city of Frult Üft—which many believe was designed by the sister goddesses themselves—seems specially designed to handle this phenomenon. A series of emergency drainage canals spread out from the river toward the Four Reservoirs at the city limits—one for each corner—and these engineering marvels activate whenever The Gush starts, well gushing more than usual.
Fauna & Flora
Natural Resources
The region’s most popular export is the fruit of the lof jabla bush—an easy-to-process natural fiber, native to the dwarven planet of Thün Büldar, which is used throughout Eden in garment-making.
The Gush! What a great name for a river.
Thank you! I struggled with all of the names on this one for a while. I need to get better at just living with PLACEHOLDER while I'm drafting. One of these days, I'm going to lose an idea because I'm too busy trying to come up with a name for something.
The power of [[PLACEHOLDER knows no limits! Naming things is hard, that's for sure. Always balancing how "real" things sound with the actual sounds of the words.
