Argonons

The Argonons are a dense, marshy mangrove forest located on the western edge of Dagaland. They are saturated by the drainage of Lake Oromoro and disgorge into the Plizh River. The Argonons are primarily located on a broad, flat region within a gap in the Dagas, the ridge system surrounding Dagaland. The level terrain along with the tangled mangrove jungle result in a slow movement of water through the marsh, creating a rich wetland forest ecosystem filled with endemic plant and animal life. The mangrove forest itself continues all the way around Lake Oromoro and down the Plizh River, although the Argonons are usually understood as being the part of the mangrove forest within the drainage marsh.
The climate of the Argonons is very seasonal, with a sweltering hot season and mild cold season. The warmth of the lakewater, fed by volcanic hotsprings and heated further by hydrothermal vents on the lakebed, prevents freezing of the mangrove forest even into the deepest freezes of Hibern. The thick canopy can experience frost events or even hold snow occasionally, especially further west, but the understory stays insulated, never dropping below fifteen degrees celsius. Steam from the warm water clouds up through the canopy into the cold Winter air causing heavy ice buildup on the surrounding ridges or wherever else the fog settles. In Summerand Sunfall, temperatures within the insulated understory can reach 30 to 35 degrees celsius with near 100% humidity. There is little if any rain within the Argonons; plants rely on either the saturated soil or steamy humidity for water.
Many peoples use the Argonons for their bounty of plant and animal varieties. Hunter-gatherers rely on the mangrove forest for wild animal meat and fruit as well as building materials for shelters, while nomadic people will enter the forest during the cooler seasons to forage for medicinal plants. Different civilizations have taken advantage of the Argonons for centuries. Ancient @pada ruins can be found half-sunken within the mangrove forest, while depictions of the region and evidence of textiles made from its endemic plants have been found in the ruins of every ancient civilization around the world.
