Tri-River
The Tri-River region is bordered by the Yargan in the north, the Yagruz in the south, the Mankan Mountains in the east and the Hu-Balai sea in the west. It is home to hundreds of city-states and thousands of towns and villages under their influence. The lands here are very fertile and filled with fields, forests, grasslands and rivers which support a large number of humans and manderthals.
During the 2nd century A.B the superpower city-states were: Gurbaz, Shuban, Galan, Habon, Nagrell and Labia. Bashur doesn't count as it may be part of the East Hu-Balai Defense Pact(EHBDP), it isn't physically located in the region. Same gooes for the Mankan Empire. This region is one of the cradles of civilization in the 15ROS.
Geography
The three main rivers in the region are: The Yagruz, the Amman and the Yargan. The Yagruz and the Yargan serve as regional borders while the Amman runs through the center. It used to be that the Yagruz wasn't considered to be the southern frontier of the region as their were Tri-River city-states south of it. However, those were conquered by south Hu-Balaiin ethnic groups who established their own kingdoms. The Yagruz, like the other three rivers, starts in the Mankan mountains flows into the Hu-Balai.
The Amman is an interesting river. It doesn't wind very much and it splits into two rivers: The Blue Amman which pours into the Hu-Balai by gradually widening into a wide mouth, and the Green Amman which widens and turns into a marshy delta. During the 21st century B.B a giant canal was dug in the center by Tabi and it's vassals to break Gurbaz's monopoly on the easy route from the mountains to the sea. Between the two Ammans is an island that is about 270 km long. On the eastern tip of this island there is a lot of hard rock that the river didn't erode because it had adjacent rock that was softer and lower down. Whoever controls the entire Amman can manipulate all the land based trade in the region as all the main north to south roads cross it.
The Yargan runs the northern border of the region and flows into a very wide delta.
The Algen isn't mentioned in the name due to the fact that it flows into the Yagruz and not into the sea directly. However, the Algen still has a major role in regional politics and ecology.
The rivers in the Tri-River region are crossed by thousands of bridges as the region has many, many roads in it and going through it. The region has a subtropical/mediterranean climate and has grasslands, forests, hills, plains, groves and little lakes and ponds. The terrain is fairly smooth and doesn't have any ravines. The silt brought in from the mountains by the rivers helps improve the already high land fertility.
Fauna & Flora
Very varied. Lions, hippos, elephants, brontodragons, aurochs, cheetas, leopards, gazzelles, red deer, fallow deer, roe deer, wild horses, wild asses, wild boar, porcupines, otters, etc. The list goes on and on and on. the reason for this is the fact that this region sits on an intersection of a few continents (like Israel in the real world) and has animal and plant species from all these continents.
Plants like wheat, barley, oats, onions and garlic were domesticated here and their wild ancestors can be found growing wild all over the place.
