Schnuch (ʃnʊx)
This desert region Bridt Sche is located in the northernmost peninsula of the country and faces many disasters due to being by the ocean and next to The Waves, the mountains that move in certain Magical Storms.
Geography
A dry and desert place in the northern region Bridt Sche is a peninsula that has a sliver of land connected to the continent that wasn't The Waves. The desert was created by Konn Prünnzu, which is being mined to power the nearby Schproülaudt Schtrücker. The desert makes up most of the region which most people don't travel or go to in favor of spending time and money in Schproülaudt Schtrücker.
Within The Waves that border, the southern side of the region are small mining towns like Yutvæ. To the West of the desert is the strangely tropical Fledt Ammpf that has a resort and some of the most beautiful beaches outside Joprjatsejepefe. Dividing Fledt Ammpf from Schnuch are some cliffs, hills, and a few mountains that are connected to the Waves. Close to the southern side of Schnuch is Schproülaudt Schtrücker the capital of the region which is built into the cliffs and crags of the desert looking like several suspended discs in the sky.
Lots of precious metals such as Gold and Nuerune are mined within the region along with the coal and other materials. One of the largest Konn Prünnzu Tradtar is now in ruins in the mountains near the mines. Being in the mountains means the region faces many different Magical Storms.
A smaller section of the peninsula has Fledt Ammpf which is teeming with magic and is strangely tropical compared to the rest of the region since this location is another vacation destination with travel packages for both locations.
Localized Phenomena
Schnuch is a dangerous and turbulent region as it suffers many different types of Magical Storms and natural disasters. Being a peninsula it is hit by hurricanes on occasion on the edges of the and more on the side of Fledt Ammpf than the other. Inside the desert are sand storms, and sometimes the magical storm known as Soul Rain where it only rains magic. Rarely the desert will also get the magical storm Domination's Snow Fall.
In the hills and up into The Waves there is the storm that is called The Queen's Chaos which is the name for the magical storm that causes the Waves to move as though they were real ocean waves and not the frozen mountains. The Queen's Chaos storm is thankfully rare and the towns and mine in this region of the mountains are protected by various Barriers such as Singing Stones. When the Waves do move in this region they try to move North East towards Schproülaudt Schtrücker where there are powerful magics that stop the mountains from going further and swallowing the entire region. Even though these storms are rare many live in fear of the earth cresting overhead and crashing into nearby mountains swallowing their homes or places of work in the process.
Climate
The climate of Schnuch is dry and hot with little moisture in the air. Due to this, the atmosphere appears clear in the hills and up in The Waves, where there is more moisture in the air. However, in the desert that makes up most of the Schnuch region where it is dry and hot, the atmosphere looks like it is sizzling from the heat. Sandstorms sweep from the desert up to the hills and the mountains covering the region in sand. What rain that is not Soul Rain that falls here is usually hot on the skin and tongue providing some moisture but not relief from the heat.
Natural Resources
Resources that are mined in Schnuch are Gold, Nuerune, copper, and iron. These resources are sometimes smelted or processed in the region or are traded to other regions in Bridt Sche, Akkyong, or Joprjatsejepefe raw. Other things that are found in the mines are various gems crystals, Focus Crystals which form at Mana Springs and clay.
Schnuch is known for its abundant energy partly because of The Waves and magic that flows through the mountains and the desert area its self. Konn Prünnzu is drilled for in the desert and is used to power the tourist attractions in both Schproülaudt Schtrücker and Fledt Ammpf with access being sent to other nearby settlements usually in barrels since it is too dangerous to have pipes running under the Waves.
One of the rarest resources that can be found in Schnuch is Soul which is the magic from a living person or someone who has recently died. This is because the desert is dangerous and many people have died in it making the beautiful Soul Rain slightly less rare in this region. Some Necromancers have it their job to track down the rare storms and to harvest the Souls into Astral Lamps to be used in spell casting later. Collecting this resource is dangerous because of how rare the storm is and how hard it is to predict.
As for plants a great variety of cactuses grow in this region with some overlap of the usual trees that grow in the Waves. The trees are usually shorter in this region because of the harsh enviroment.
