Subetia

Subetia is a region of ocean and four continents: Kyrsst, Svetli, Orcli, and Zabokh. Two of the continents are inhabited (Svetli and Orcli), while two are not - Kyrsst, because of the extreme cold, and Zabokh, due to its inhospitability. However, in the past, temporary settlements have been made on those two continents.

Geography

Subetia is mainly ocean - vast expanses of oceans with its own underwater topography, ranging from deep trenches to tumultuous shallows.   Near Kyrsst, the ocean is deep, in contrast to the high mountains of the arctic continent, and the winds are strong, slamming into the coast which makes embarkment difficult.   Svetli is a jagged archipelago that has more of a semblance of being one continent, as opposed to Orcli whose islands, or hwells in Subetian, are more divided.  Svetli's wind-swept landscape has affected the vegetation, and its coldness has led to hardy pines, lichens, and rare farmland.  Dramatic waterfalls pour off the coast into the difficult sea below, full of its currents and whirlpools.   Orcli is an archipelago continent consisting of a variety of hwells, from relatively flat and fertile farmland to swampy lowlands and alpine mountains.  The ocean between the hwells is relatively calm and shallow, with plenty of naval routes established among the hwells.  The archipelago has a rich history of naval contact among the hwells, including trade and wars.   Zabokh is by far the largest landmass of Subetia.  A great desert dominates the north of the continent, including masses of sand dunes with no vegetation, along with regions of desert flora and fauna to the south as the mountains emerge.  Past the mountains, in the center of the continent, is a thick, tropical forest.  A network of underground caves and cenotes is hidden beneath the canopy, making travel difficult and perilous.  The south of the continent is the most mountainous, with a more temperate climate along with more vegetation, including trees, shrubs, and grasses, although most of the land is stone, not dissimilar from Svetli.

Ecosystem

Kyrrst has an arctic ecosystem fueled by fish and managed by walruses, whales, bears, and, legends go, dragons, although dragons have been long extinct on Subetia.   Svetli's ecosystems are similar to Kyrrst, but more varied, containing insect life, smaller mammals, and a great deal of birds, from native to migratory.  Drakes plague the island, although they have been able to be kept at bay in recent history.   Orcli's hwells each have their own ecosystems ranging from tropical to temperate, containing a wide variety of animal life, including a number of magical creatures.   Zabokh's regions contain their own ecosystems, containing particularly deadly creatures.
