Qùgêzuia
The smallest of the three Pereqaian continents.
Geography
Qùgêzuia is elongated with a curved western coast and a sharp tip in the north.
Defining features
Mountains
There are numerous mountainous regions, especially along the western side. Of particular note are:- the Zêvefuash Mountains which dominate the continent's northern tip
- the Tòqzêri Mountains in the northwest
- the Ùnuxo Mountains in the west
- the Muvèqosh Mountains stretching along the southwestern coast
- the Xo'ugêze Mountains near the center of the continent
Rivers and Lakes
The longest river on this continent is the Vugo'udùn River which originates near the Ùnuxo Mountains. From there it travels down to the Niuculol Sea, crossing about half the length of Qùgêzuia. The second longest river is the Goufhên River which is formed by several smaller rivers in the southern third of the continent. Along the Vugo'udùn River, two giant lakes have formed. They are called the Pùgù'esush and Pùgù'eov Lake, respectively. Two similarly large bodies of water, the Lèlêù'eu and Gòiù'eu Lake, can be found south of the Xo'ugêze Mountains.Deserts
Nearly one third of the lower lands in the north are covered by desert. The lands west of the Vugo'udùn River are known as the Tùlùzêv Desert, while those east of the river are called the Tùlùnèz Desert. A third major region, the Tùlùnèmu Desert, is located between the Xo'ugêze Mountains and the Niuculol Sea.Natural Resources
Large parts of Qùgêzuia are covered in jungles and forests are home to countless plant and animal species. Like most of Qentora, the ground is rich in copper and zinc. The mountains to the west also contain great amounts of cobalt, iron and several precious metals that are washed down the Vugo'udùn River.
