Rakan

"Rakan has only one thing going for it; there's more land here than anywhere else on this planet. Come to think of it, maybe that's not a positive."

Rakan is the largest and by far the most heavily populated continent on P'Ache Micro with upwards of 50,000 inhabitants. The largest settlement on this landmass is Nuskan, which is the capital of the planet.

Geography

Rakan is large, almost u-shaped landmass, in the centre of which is Nuskan Bay and the city of Nuskan. It is predominantly swamps and flatlands, but there are three rocky and mountainous areas. There are the Bird's Eye mountains in the north, the Drift mountain range in the centre to the west of Nuskan, and the Evek mountains in the south. The east coast, also known as the Reef, is known for the black and blue sand which is unique to this part of the planet. Further south along the coast is the Driftwood Marsh, so called because it lies within a tsunami zone and the trees that grow here often wash up in Nuskan bay as driftwood. Part of the west side of the continent is known as the Wastes That Thirst, and is home to the Blooming Steppe, a large area of flat grassland which hosts a large array of wild flowers only found here. Several millennia ago it was a vast and uncontainable forest, but after the treaty with the Primians, an attempt to "reclaim" the land saw the deforestation of the area.

Climate

There are three seasons, each of which lasts approximately one peacekeeper year, and the three landmasses are all on same side of the planet, so experience them similarly.
