Nenyon Forests
Along the taiga strip and throughout the southeastern peninsula lies Nenyon's fertile forests. Sunlight leaks through the seasonal trees, while mountain-born rivers drag dark soil through the rough terrain. Rainstorms come from the Daehan to the east, battering the coastal crags. When the tide falls, black lumps of worn islands poke out along the shoreline. Nenyon plays host tothose brave enough to battle the cold winters and summer storms.
Geography
Though not as rugged as Keihei, Nenyon is much more steeper as it builds into the mountains. The Daehan Ocean borders its coast to the south and east, where the Baiyur̃ag Mountains' old volcanic activity has made the sands black.
Climate
Below the equator, Nenyon's temperate weather gets colder the farther south it reaches. It sits in front of the mountains, bearing the ocean storms' wrath first. Storms typically hit during the summer weather, causing the wet season to also be very hot for this region. The winters are little drier but much colder, often recieving snowfall.
Fauna & Flora
The ecosystem here must be able to survive the temperature changes throughout the year, while also being resistent to any ocean storms.
The forests of Nenyon become different environments during the summer and winter. The summers are hot, humid, and rainy, requiring heat resistence and an adaptation to the heavy moisture. The winters are a little less wet, but greatly cold. Plants and animals often lay dormant during one of the seasons, typically winter. When summer comes back around, life begins to wake up and grow again.
Nenyon's coasts are either steep, rocky cliffs or long beaches of black sand. They too experience the changing of the seasons, though life tends to be more adapted for the harshness here. Birds are the most common predators here, fishing in the ocean waters and snatching beach life before it knows what happened. Flora here are often the hardier forest plants, filling gaps the ocean's plants can't fit.
Natural Resources
Plant-based materials, especially those that can survive the cold winters, are commonly found throughout the region. Certain fruits, vegetables, and herbs grow during the summer season in the forests. Water is abundant, but care must be taken to make it safe to consume or use. Mountain water is typically the cleanest, though some streams are more murky from carrying old volcanic sediment. The beaches are unique in that the sediment forms their black sand, scarcely found elsewhere in the world.
