Northern Lowlands

The Northern Lowlands of Mars, also known as the Vastitas Borealis, comprise a vast, low-lying plain that covers much of the planet's northern hemisphere. This region, which was once thought to have been the site of an ancient ocean, has been extensively terraformed by the Lumens to create a lush, fertile landscape suitable for agriculture and habitation.
The Northern Lowlands are now home to expansive grasslands, sprawling forests, and numerous freshwater lakes and rivers, all sustained by a carefully engineered system of water management and climate control. The region is also the site of several major Lumen cities, including New Olympus and Borealis Prime, which serve as hubs of industry, commerce, and cultural exchange.
