The Jonna Countries
Jonna Countries
The Jonna countries were once part of the Jonna Empire. The old empire countries span from Guaine, Kotchyn and Mackdregh, to the eastern seaboard, and south to the Wanderer's Ocean. This vast land has numerous biomes and as varied plant and animal life.
The land west and south of the Sea of Condioh is arid, with hot Strong Heat seasons and cold Frozen Air days. The Dry, the land bordering the Sea of Condioh to the west, receives so little rainfall that the few plants and animals that reside there do so along the scattered, seasonal rivers that feed into the Lifegiver. The lands just south of the Sea of Condioh are wetter, with a mix of desert and arid grasslands. The biodiversity is better than what is found in the Dry, and the coast has a teaming sea mammal population.
The grasslands become wetter further east, until they reach the
Ri a tari Mountains. The mountains are an older volcanic chain, and while they see harsh Frozen Air seasons on the upper slopes, they are temperate further down, leading to rich plant and wildlife diversity. They sport lush, season-changing mixed deciduous forests, which turn into temperate broadleaf forests further south.
The grasslands extend south, filling a huge flat plain between the Meygharkins and the
Ri a tari. The Mother River runs the length of the plain, adding some biodiversity to a rather homogeneous grassland. Wild fowl and herd herbivores roam the land, with the largest animals in Seari living on the grasses there.
The Meygharkins run from Amberfar to Jonnta. The southern part of the range has more forestland and is not as cold as the northern part, though a few tall mountains still possess year-round snow.
The forests of the west continue to run south of the Meygharkins, and a continuous treeline crosses the continent, to end at the Sea of Co Jer. The northwestern forest is mixed deciduous, becoming temperate broadleaf further south. The southernmost growth is semi-tropical forest, with a hot, wet climate and a variety of plants and animals. The islands off the southern coast also have semi-tropical forests, and sport a wide range of sea life and waterbirds on their shores.
In the west, the forests turn into rich grasslands before becoming chaparral woodland and scrubland along the Gulf of Shanise and the Bay of Jonna coasts. The largest river in Seari, the Meghra, runs through these lands before emptying into a delta. This delta is nutrient-rich and the crops grown there feed millions across the old empire lands.
