Primalia
Geography
Primeria is a continent formed by two major convergent continental plates, located in the southern hemisphere, sorrounded by the Osiric and Alian oceans..
The topography is mainly characterized by the orogenic region in the center of the continent, due to the convergence line, and by the coastal ranges throughout most of the coastline due to a prevalence of the oceanic subduction zones. The current climate enables a variety of biomes and gave birth to two major river valleys, one in the in the East and one in the South-West.
Another - minor but still important- river valley is fed by the river Thieren which starts its journey in the central-western coastal mountain range and drains into Branny Bay.
Primeria is connected to Atlantia in the North and Subaria in the South via a series of arcipelagos and shallows that split the ocean currents and alter the climate and are believed to have functioned (and possibly still do) as land bridges for fauna.
Primeria hosts its good share of volcanos, calderas, and other relevant geologic features, some due to its two constituent tectonic plates currently diverging away from each other, some due to the numerous subduction zones.

Fauna & Flora
Still to be fully explored, the continent of Primeria shows a great variety of biomes from deserts and savans to tropical and temperate rain forests.
Since Primeria diverged from the Unitalia supercontinent around 180 Million years ago, most species diversified locally and they too diverged from their ancestors, giving rise to some unique forms. However, thanks to the land bridges that formed in the central arcipelago in the following era, some migrations have since been possible.

The two tectonic plates that eventually converged and formed the continent of Primeria are believed to have originated a very long time ago, possibly around 900 Million years ago, if not more. Moreover, the landmass travelled a great big deal since its inception and underwent a series of convergent and divergent events with other plates.
It is early to say, but it is a legitimate speculation to assume a great deal and variety of mineral resources and fossil fuels.
Due to the considerable volcanic activity it is also plausible to find numerous geothermic sites.
