Karatvánamb Forest
The Karatvánamb Forest1 covers much of eastern Túlmikkía, the southern continent of Gætíus' World. The northern part of the forest is home to Vevúni tribes, while the rest is dominated by Tederans, with seven tribes of the latter forming the Ptivamanaktem Alliance, one of the major powers of Túlmikkía south of the Deþren Mountains, along with the more recent -but nonetheless powerful- Fúmrá Alliance.
Both are located in the central part of the forest, while further south the Narákans are the dominant tribe. In addition, small communities of Srali, semi-nomadic hunters and fishermen of short stature live along the southeastern coast, who are unrelated to to either group.

Geography
The forest is bordered by the coast of Túróon Sea to the east, the Óokal Mountains to the south, the Túlmikkían Great Lakes to the west, and the Gnákan Savanna to the west and north. Much of the northern and central parts are a tropical rainforest, which gives way to a subtropical forest to the south.
The main sources of water in the region are the meandering Útimte River to the south and the Hafamb River to the west, both of which originate in the Óokal Mountains, but the former drains into the Túróon Sea while the latter meanders generally northwards, then to the west and finally drains into Ehaká, one of the Great Lakes.
Two mountain ranges are located in the woodlands, namely the Hík Mountains to the north -which form the boundary between sylvan vevúni and tederan territories- and Iritífe Mountains to the west.

Fauna & Flora
Karatvánamb Forest supports a diverse wildlife, including several species of antelopes, birds, cats turtles, butterflies and primates. Notable species include waterbucks, bushpigs, red colobuses, white-breasted guineafowl, scaly-tailed flying squirrels, snapping turtles, Túlmikkían Bears, mountain lions and otters. Domesticated eland antelopes and prairie chickens are also raised by the native tederans.
Bananas and túlmikkían rice were first cultivated in this region, and baobab trees which grow there have a special significance to the tribes within the Ptivamanaktem Alliance.
