Ferallum
Ferallum is a rough, rugged Continant, said to be the first Creation of the Great Creator, Velkron.
Geography
Ferallum is an extremely rugged continent divided into three main regions: the Badlands, the Woods, and the Mountains, each characterized by unique landscapes and ecosystems.
Southern Ferallum
Eldaron features the Badlands, a predominantly dry region marked by its rich clay deposits and stark, eroded formations. This area is known for its harsh climate, with limited rainfall and extreme temperatures. The landscape is punctuated by rugged canyons and mesas, creating an otherworldly terrain that holds both beauty and danger. Despite the arid conditions, the Badlands are home to resilient flora and fauna that have adapted to survive in this challenging environment.Central Ferallum
Central Ferallu. is dominated by the Nokolow Wood, a vast, densely forested area teeming with life. This region is characterized by an intricate network of lakes and rivers, providing habitats for a diverse range of wildlife. Towering trees create a lush canopy overhead, while the forest floor is rich with underbrush and vibrant plant life. Nokolow Wood is known for its mystical aura, attracting adventurers and scholars alike who seek to uncover its secrets and natural wonders.Northern Ferallum
Harkarl is defined by its rugged mountain ranges, where steep cliffs and rocky slopes rise dramatically into the sky. This region is adorned with vibrant vegetation that clings to the mountainside, contrasting sharply with the rocky terrain. The high altitudes present challenging conditions, but the mountains are home to unique wildlife and hardy plants that thrive in the cooler temperatures. Harkarl is often shrouded in mist, enhancing its mystical reputation and drawing explorers eager to conquer its peaks and discover hidden valleys.Ecosystem
Due to the diverse landscapes, Ferallum is lush with life, both in terms of flora and fauna. While regular beasts such as wolves, boar, birds dominate primarily, the haphazard environments caused unique evolutions and adaptations in a number of creatures.
As an example, the well known displacer beast. Rather than being able to create an illusion of themselves, within Ferallum they are capable of blending into the shadows, being able to travel between them and launch surprise attacks. These variants became known as Shadow Stalkers, and are a danger across all Ferallum and even the outlying islands.
Similarly, the Nokolow Woods, even at night, is alight during the night due to Luminous Blooms, a bioluminescent variant of Primroses. They have evolved to cause great pain to those who consume it, but similarly the light it emits is capable of lighting up the night.
Overtime, many flora and fauna formed symbiotic relationships in order to survive in the environment. It is these adaptations that attract hunters and poachers to Ferallum, for the opportunity to gather rare materials to sell to the market.
