The realm is made up of two different large bodies of water and three large landmasses (formerly four) that stretches out approximately 2500 miles across from its northmost point to its southernmost point. The land masses, divided by the large Morze Lez and Aredián Sea, are in order from North to South; Karieba, Illagua, and Talarena, and the recently Brumed Sharādī. The climate is mainly mediterranean and tropical, with a cooler more temperate climate farther in the North in Karieba.
Illagua (ill-aug-wa): A land mass believed to be an island that sits across the Pujunto Strait from Talarena. Illagua has a warm mediterranean climate that in the winter receives rains from weather systems originating from the North and North East during the fall and winter and large rivers and lakes form from the Sierra Hao. The seemingly scheduled rains make the land ideal for farming and is wide open, draped with small rivers and creeks from the hills along with farms that stretch upon many acres. The most common species of grass has a peculiar evolutionary trait by the time it reaches spring it begins to get drier and the grass begins to die more rapidly, fertilizing the ground, a unique species to the realm, the grass begins the process of fertilizing and seeding the ground for the next fall having them grow ever slightly taller than the last years. The species of grass is called Punta Rosa as it also has a beautiful “blooming” for a week between the end of summer and the beginning of fall and a week between the end of winter and beginning of spring where the tips of the grass form a pinkish coloration as they begin to regrow signaling the approach of the next season. Most of Illagua is hilly grassland with few forests aside from the large ones that grow on the other side of the Sierra Hao.
Talarena (Tall-uh-ray-nuh): This subcontinent contains multiple types of Biomes and is one of the largest landmasses of the realm. Northern Talarena is mostly rocky desert and basins similar to the American Southwest, Northern Mexico and Central America in real life. The central region being the most important, is the Upper and Lower Corrientes which are tributaries to the large Vallda river and beautiful rock formations are scattered across the deserts. Large canyons formed from ancient rivers and the ruins of past civilizations are carved into canyons and rock formations, as well as large fissures from tectonic activity. In the modern day The Vallda River Valley has been uninhabitable for about three centuries, contaminated by radiation, however recent surveys have shown that levels are now safe to travel through, though the river itself remains hazardous to drink from. Scattered across the desert are ruined cities falling apart from war and disrepair, and old infrastructure remains broken as if twisted and snapped by the force of the earth below it.
To the south there is the Aayin Inicio jungles and the Sierra Brumosa furthest to the south of Talarena. Its mostly wet jungle that catches rainfall from weather systems from the South Aredian and is very warm being the nearest to the equator.
Extending to the south and south west there is the large Sierra Apia mountain range named for the water that flows from the mountains forming the rivers of the land, and the Costa Rosa which is a shoreline with many small rivers and mediterranean climate covered with hills and small valleys. The name comes from the fact that the most common grass is Punta Rosa and from the shores a beautiful wave of pink can be viewed nearing the fall.
Aredián Sea (Ah-ray-dee-an): This sea is a warm water sea similar to the Pacific Ocean with large coral reefs, volcanic tropical archipelagos and atolls, and fauna similar to that of the Pacific like Mahi Mahi and Cetaceans like Blue Whales which are now rare due to the environmental impact of the Great War, though anyone born 300 years prior would remember seeing them. In the center there is the Sanctuary City the I-3, named by post war traders as a shorthand for Installation 03 that has now stuck on to it, currently it’s used as the Capital for the Aredián Republic.
Karieba (Car-e-eh-ba): The land of the sky has a few different biomes and has a temperate climate. Las Duchow is a large forest that houses two long rivers that run in between it and the plains and forest of Ostôda. To the North Järvkoti is a wetland with many lakes and rivers and is mostly flat with some hills. To the south across the Niska Bariera mountains, is a flat savannah that contains an inland sea with two large islands that hang off the coast called Kuria by the Randish peoples. The ocean off the coast of Karieba is named Morze Łez and is similar to the Atlantic, with cooler waters from the North and far fewer islands than the Aredián.
Sharādī (Shar-dee): The homeland of the Rakshani people, who inhabited the steppes and river valleys of Sharādī. Near its former Brume border is a mountain range where they believed their God, Rakshaba, resided and also where the Capital used to be located named Sinhaasan. On the coast in the Northern end of the land mass there were river valleys where large cities were founded from different polities. The land would have a very warm subtropical climate with large steppes and hills. The survivors of this land mostly inhabit Aredian Union territory on the Nomadic Flotillas and East Crevice City where some still worship their God, though every year there are fewer and fewer devotees.
