Yatràpà Continent is the main landmass of the Eastern Hemisphere, home to several countries and, unfortunately for everyone who lives there, home to the Starfall. While the western coasts of the continent remains dangerous, the eastern coast has grown prosperous over the last couple hundred years. To its south is the
Mau̯humel Archipelago, an beautiful island chain.
Southeastern Coast
The lower reaches of the east coast are the most populated areas on the continent. Warm and rainy, the coast is covered in forests where it isn't covered in people.
Koni Mountains
To the north are the
Koni Mountains . The Koni are central to many civilizations after the Starfall. The sharp peaks that litter this area are great defenses against the monsters that roam the south. The southern and eastern ranges are cool year round with beautiful forests, but the further north you go, the colder it gets. Heavy snow blankets the north yearly, so few have managed to travel to the north coast.
The Midlands
In the center of the continent is
the Midlands. Near the rivers and the northern edges, large forests can be found, but most of the Midlands are grasslands. While fertile, most of the Midlands are sparsely populated due to the growing risk of monster raids as you go west. After the Lajñoj River, the grasslands are increasingly dry, with the last bastion of the grasslands being the
Ʀepojo River.
The Vashes Desert
Last known area of west Yatràpà, the
Vashes Desert lies along the edge of the Koni Mountains and the Wastelands. While dry and desolate, the Vashes Desert is still differentiated from the Wasteland due to the lack of magical pollution.
The Wastelands
The unknown. Just beyond the the mountains, is the true
Wastelands in all their glory. All that can truly be known about them is that the Wastelands are infested with monsters and covered in magical pollution from the Starfall. Even those who venture into its depths will find old paths changed by the magic that rules the area. Dangerous, and unexplored.
Sounds like an incredibly diverse stretch of geography. Almost like a New Zealand of sorts? All manners of varying geography. Very descriptive and detailed. Well done!
Thank you! There's definitely a lot of biomes. I tried to not go overboard with the biomes though. Figuring out the rain-shadows to get it accurate was tough, but I'm glad it worked out!
