Shisama
Cool rainforests, imposing karsts, bamboo groves, and mangrove swamps make up much of this visually breathtaking, but difficult to traverse region.
Not-So Tropical
At first glance, Shisama and Nalendi seem similar. Both jungled, both blessed with rains and ample water, both home to thousands of unique kinds of life. This is where the similarities end. Nalendi's warm, sunny weather is interspersed with torrential seasonal storms. Shisama, on the other hand, is constantly cloudy, damp, and cool. Clouds blowing from the inner ring get stuck on the imposing karts and sheer stone cliffs, drizzling rain lightly but ceaselessly until they disperse. Tall conifers blot out the sky, and fog settles in between their mighty branches. Sunny weather is a rarity here - nearly the only time it isn't raining is when the winter winds bring light snows instead.Local Techniques
The species native to Shisama - the galifio, krodyl, and bullywug - had to adapt in ancient times to the peculiar challenges of living here. The wetlands that blanket the low areas of the region made good homes for the bullywug, who need to keep their skin moist for good health, and for the krodyl, who move and hunt well in the water. The thick mangroves that dot the shores and creep across the coast make for quick and easy places to build huts above the water, or to get a higher point of view for hunting or fishing. In the central highlands, the thick rainforest is broken up by scattered bamboo groves. This light-but-sturdy material made for easy home building for the galifio who call the region home. Outside of Shisama's major cities, many structures are still built entirely with bamboo, or use bamboo to stilt the homes over wetlands or a steep grade. In modern times, the bamboo is farmed and exported to other regions by locals, its usefulness long realized by other species.Headline 3
