Geraton

The relentless winter of Cereta

The land conquered by the white of frost during the Cereta's warm seasons, where families of mountains are internally strengthened by underground Hunter's fortress and Geratanian's cities, protecting the immovable geratanian from the fang of the howling frost storm.
 Geraton was once a forgotten region, written off by conquerers and dreaded by potential settlers for having the hardest living conditions in Cereta. Despite the depressing state that she's in, Geraton was a land once filled with nutritious soil comparable to the soil from the prime generations of Elcorodion Green, nourished with natural fertilizer and inhabited by the Legendary green walker Zygorn, carrying on him is the blood lust Heidren tribe. Now, a frozen region that carries no trace of the glory that it once has, tainted by unfortunate fate, and inhabited by species who were cursed and hated by the mother of creation Cereta to be born inside this region. making Geraton a black sheep that carry winter as its only season as a result of the amount of highly saturated clouds captured inside the region. Conveniently Geraton also holds the largest amount of cold winds on Cereta, far more winds than Chime city could ever dream to surpass.
Due to Geraton's abnormal atmosphere, her sky is cursed by a suffocating quantity of dark-colored clouds, capable of blocking the precious warmth that Geraton desperately needs from being able to reach the surface completely and hold in the cold wind from escaping to the atmosphere. Underneath her clouds, Geraton's terrain is chunked with mountains, most are well capable of puncturing through Geraton's clouds, creating numerous winds tunnels, guiding their flight across the region, Travelling near those mountain's feets are numerous rivers and streams, delivering waters for the plants of this region, However the flakey surface of the waters not only enhance the severity of the winds, it also sprinkle a frosty texture its. the amount of cold wind is also the reason why Geraton, contribute a lot to the freezing temperatures of winter in Cereta, however thanks to this factor, during the winter of Cereta, the concentration of black clouds became less extreme, enabling the cold wind to escape Geraton and travel through every continent in Cereta, furthermore making the winter around Cereta colder, this reaction could also increase the temperature all around Geraton.
The reason why Geraton's atmosphere is covered by thick layers of clouds is due to the event of the Great Elodor explosion on Geraton that ended with the destruction of a whole promising era, sending it to the blank void of history. When the explosion occurred, it thrust most of the Zerafyte crystal deep underground toward the opposite direction of Geraton, causing Geraton to have significantly less Zerafyte crystals and Shagafar the region that is opposite to Geraton, saturated with crystals, a large amount of land that were nearby the hundred of kilometer radius of the explosion were blast off, shattering into trillion of tiny molecules of dust that later blend into the atmosphere, dying the cloud with a marine blue color, the area that is covered by the dust soon concentrated the atmosphere and blocked sunlight from piercing through the cloud, this factor dramatically reduce the temperature of the land, and soon following after it, a never-ending winter. creating a frozen land named Geraton. during the first generation, there were little quantity of species that inhabit Geraton due to its terrible conditions ,however those statistics start to gain haste when those creatures started to adapt and evolve as time went by, because of the environment, most Geratonian creatures evolve to have larger bodies to store more energy, a thick coat of fur to protect them from the flesh-tearing frost storm, and change of dye of color for different predator, land roamer process white fur to blend in with the snow terrain while stalker on trees process reddish-gray fur to stalk upon preys without being detected. Because of the small amount of vegetation other than leaves and coral, most land creatures in Geraton are predator's, Gorton's creatures strictly obey the survival of the fittest, the species that can hunt down the vast different variety of prey will be able to evolve far beyond the other predator's capabilities.

Geography

Due to Geraton's bone freezing temperature , rail roads designed for trains and pathways serving Hunters and civilian are required to be maintenance constantly , although due to the tiny amount of technology that is able to sustain in geraton's freezing temperature , considering the fact that most region in Cold Wind have never tasted the bitter frost similar to Geraton's , there isn't much technology which can withstand the frost , Most of the work was done by forced labor, which unsurprisingly most of the labourers were captured koigan soldier , captured and by the Hunter Organization during the Koiga's first and second invasion on the Hunter authorize regions two centuries ago. even though their freedom are enslaved under the control of the Hunter , the quality of life are still overall better than the stat of prisoner in the Carian's debt repaying department located in Honju , in the least, have a decent shelter to live under and food to live on daily. The Hunter's creativity does not shy away in their very unique method of maintaining their roads , in case if the layers of ice gather too much frost and became too thick to be smashed into smaller pieces by hammer forces alone , the Geratanian or the Hunter would usually use an ancient technique of scattering boiled pebbles onto the surface of the ice, the steaming temperature of the pebble will soon eat its way into the surface of the ice, holding the pebble in place , thanks to this new foundation, people could then safely walk on the surface . However because it is not an easy task to clean up the pebble after ward , after the ice melted , the pebbles began to stack on the layers of pebbles before it . Because of this , the walking path in Geraton increase in height by 2 meter per years . Geraton is also where Andarkai , Klaw and Arison grew up .

Fauna & Flora

the first non-predator creature that steps foot upon the unforgiving land of Geraton is the first unfortunate human that set foot on Geraton, thousands of years ago, back from the dawn of the unstoppable Shagafarian Empire, these humans were originated from Gelderland, cast away to this unforgiving region as prisoners. The situation was incredibly harsh for them at the beginning, many have fallen due to frost storms and dire predators, however, they have soon discovered a way to live on trees and eventually find a solution to build villages inside mountains, away from the claw of most hostile predators. and as time flew by , with the haste of Colonies of Mushrooms , Geratanian villages started to expand deeper inside various mountains and the population increases rapidly. although it has been decades since the first Geratanian's great ancestors, the Geldelarian set foot upon this land, despite going through numerous evolution to adapt to Geraton's lethal environment, the Geratanian still carry quantities of similarity with the Geldelarian , Geratianian's people are often seen as brave and loyal, having no hesitation in risking their lives to protect their sacred brotherland, however deep inside them, a dash of greed that belongs to the Geldelarian still lurk inside their mind, similar to the Geldelarian's, the Geretanian will stop at nothing to be able to achieve their goal.The Geratanian usually refer to each other as Brother and sisters, A Geratanian's meal often relies heavily on Protein and energy packed food like Roasted Deer, potatoes, crackers ,and dishes with large quantity of food like Stew, and to swallow it all down with Geraton's water that was harvested from stream mixed with a lot of sugar. Comparing to the tradition of other Hunter authorized region , Geraton's burying tradition infamously stands out, in an odd way, whenever a Geratanian passed away, instead of being buried in the ground, their corpse will be drop into the water, to make them sink easier , they are dressed with an iron plating before getting drop into the chilling murderous waters, feeding the creature that inhabits it. This is due to the Geratanian's believe with returning the dead to their creator. Though usually in a different region, the bacteria from the lifeless corpse will soon infest the body of waters, however, thanks to the Heidren corals, those bacterias are soon eliminated, making the water safe to consume. Life on Geraton was peaceful, Until the arrival of the Hunter Organization . after gaining power in the regions around Helbertz, the hunter organization started to conquer the region that the Koiga hasn't been able to capture, among one of those regions is Geraton's, this doesn't end as well as the hunter has planned, because unlike other regions which need a leader, Geraton is a Sovereign region, and they didn't agree with the Hunter coming into their land and forcing their people to construct new villages with low concern for their life and poor payment. This has caused a civil war that occurred in Geraton, in the total span of 2 years, with the Hunter coming out on top, there were many lost, mostly on the Geratanian's side, because their technology was no match for the Hunter's zerafyte powered tech, Currently Geraton is being authorized by the Hunter Organization . beside the Geratanian and hunters that are thriving to survive in Geraton's sub-zero condition, the land is also home to some of the most unique and interesting plants, animals, and predators on Cereta. The most famous and notable are, the Heidren coral , the coral that gave Geraton's stream, lake and water its distinctive and strong alcoholic taste. and the legendary Ilenos, a creature that has the potential to reach the size of approximately 30 meters tall which is double the height of a mature Everfrost tree, it is also written in the seeker's bible that these creatures are the Uppercut Moon's replacement for the green walker that once roamed this land, these creatures are covered by a thick layer of wool to protect them from incoming frost storm thanks to evolution, Ilenos is quite a relatively calm creature, unless it is provoked. an Ilenos's daily diet usually include a couple of Everfrost tree, this was a big issue for the early Geratanian, many Geratanian have lost their life's getting devoured while inhabiting on Everfrost tree, The Everfrost tree is also a common but iconic symbol of Geraton, with their roots long and powerful enough dig themselves into the rocks beneath them . These trees are where the Geratanian build their combat bases to fight against the Hunter Organization. many have say that the roots of these trees resemble the people of Geraton . other than the sound of rustling wind and roaring forest , Geraton have its own melody ,a melody hidden from the sound of dire animals, a melody crafted from water marching on ice, this melody has been discovered by the Geratanian that inhabit inside caves, it has been translated and passed down through generation, to the Geratanian, this melody is as familiar to them as their own home, Even though Geraton was known for having the hardest living condition in Cereta due to its bone freezing temperature, the flesh cutting frost storm is the real factor why Geraton is considered one of the most dangerous region to set foot on . The frost storm usually come without warning , it travels through the forest of Geraton like a phantom, leaving no traces of its presence , it could also potentially carry with it predators, waiting for any unlucky pray that might get caught in the storm , the second that you got caught in the storm's way, there are countless ways that you could die in that second.
