Home of the Raliok trees. The long southern tip is mostly desert. Mountains line the western portion of the continent, and the Eon Hills mark the northern most tip.

Geography

The Raliok trees range in size from half a kilometer to a kilometer high, with thick black-brown trunks and between 3 to 5 layers of branches. The branches are thick in the bottom layers, but thinner in the top layers. (Picture an x-y-z coordinate system with the origin in the center of the tree; each layer is approximately in the same x-plane with two or three branches in that plane. Branches tend to grow on opposite ends of the trunk or orthogonal to each other.) Huge, semi-translucent leaves drape down from the branches in colors of gold or silvery-white with violet veins. In the late summer and fall, the leaves turn a darker silver to prepare for the winter months. Parts of the roots protrude from the ground and are covered in moss and bushes and vines, and resemble miniature hills. Rocks churned up from the roots litter the forest floor around the trees, often forming large outcroppings over time. Bushes and flowers cover the forest floor, with some flowers being several feet tall -- the tallest nearly twenty feet high with long, yellow petals open toward the shafts of sunlight that filter down through the Raliok leaves. In the areas that receive more light, fruit trees grow, most reaching a height of around ten to fifteen feet in height. They grow in clusters, actually being of the same tree, as their roots systems are all connected and tap into the nutrient and water system of the nearest Raliok root. All of the Raliok are one giant tree in a huge root system that spans the continent's central regions. The Raliok are blocked in by the Evok Taleon to the west and the Eon Hills to the north. The Iver Tomi and the deserts of the long peninsula to the south mark the southern edge of the Raliok.
