Western Mountains

The western mountain range is the only real set of mountains on the continent. Compared to the flat prairie and swamplands of the east, the western mountains are massive, incredibly tall and varied. It has steep snow-covered peaks and forested valleys, with all sorts of fauna and flora. The mountains' only human inhabitants are the mountain tribe. The no-heartbeat creature population is higher in the western mountains than any other land, because there is no High Spirit there. They and the human tribe have formed a wary sort of peace, a silently agreed-upon treaty of little to no interference with another.

Geography

The western mountain range is a range of mountains in the west. There are snowy peaks and forested valleys. Lots of lakes and rivers strewn about. It's surrounded by sea on three sides and eventually tapers off into grassland in the east.

Fauna & Flora

While the mountains have fewer buffalo than the grasslands, they do possess a lot of wildlife that the Makkah Nation can only tell stories about. There are black and brown bears, moose, deer, wolves, pumas, birds of all types, rodents, bugs, insects, bats . . . on and on. The flora that stuns grassland people the most are the trees. There's a lot of them. And they grow to be very large. Grassland horses do not typically live in the mountains, but ponies do. They range wild in the mountains, and the mountain tribe breed domesticated herds as well. They're used less extensively than grassland horses are by the Makkah Nation's nomadic tribes, more as pack animals than for riding or combat, but are considered more clever than their eastern cousins.
