Laramidia
Laramidia is the name given to the western side of North America below the glacial line and above Central America. It is bordered by the Pacific Ocean on the west, the Yellowstone Gulf National Park in the southeast, and Appalachia on the east, with the Land of Gods to the north.
Geography
Laramidia is dominated by the Rocky Mountains running through its center, and steep highlands and steppes surrounding it. In the north, Laramidia is made up of taigas and tundras, flowing into evergreen forests and some temperate rainforest. Mountainous terrain and steppes are quite common and dominate the region's center that can be snowy and cold year round, but also butted against dry deserts and scrubland. Primarily, most open land is dry grassland, desert, or scrub, with temperate forests being often small and isolated and primarily bound to the coasts, rivers, or lakes.
In the Yellowstone Gulf National Park region in particular, there is a wide variety of environments, and the area is much more lush than most of the region due to the gulf. Having much heavier rainfall, forests are more common and so is grassland.
