Inunuperon

"The star metals were bestowed upon us by the gods, not due to our superiority in craftsmanship over you, my friend. Rather, it was because they trusted that we would never wield these creations to harm one another, but only to safeguard ourselves," proclaims Mbogalu Emda, the venerable Patriarch of the Western Travelling tribe.

Iunuperon is a land of striking contrasts, where vast stretches of sun-drenched sand merge seamlessly with verdant tropical foliage. This land of wild beauty exudes an ethereal quality by night, lending it an almost mystical quality. Comprised of five distinct countries, each helmed by the dominant races inhabiting its shores, Iunuperon is ruled by the mighty Aerezein, Krictide, Felvesse, Maesthoss, and Reptal races. While these powerful nations reign supreme over the continent, they are by no means the sole inhabitants of this vast expanse. In fact, numerous other tribes dwell here, their existence hinging on unimaginable environments or harsh, inhospitable terrains.
These people live on the very edge of society, hunting and surviving on the ultra fauna that roams their domain. From treacherous peaks to dense, untamed forests, these tribes occupy every corner of Iunuperon, forging their own unique paths in this rugged landscape.

Géographie

Certainly! Here's an improved version that adds a more mystical tone: The continent is a land of wonder and mystery, where deserts, jungles, savannahs, and a great river known as the Inunupure coexist in harmony. Each country on the continent is a unique and magical place, where wonders and terrors abound.
In Tabari, the Great Desert of the Serpent Sand is a place of awe-inspiring beauty and deadly danger. The sand is as white as milk and dazzling in the sun, but it hides a terrible secret: the giant worms of Fargrisse, feared by all who live in this land. The Felvesse hunt these creatures for their carapace, which they use to make magical artifacts of great power.
In Dashla, enormous canyons rise high into the sky, and within their depths dwell a certain party of the Krictide people and their giant trained ants. These creatures are said to possess ancient magic, which they use to navigate the labyrinthine canyons and fend off their enemies. Along the coast, great factories line the shores, their smokestacks belching out strange fumes and dark shadows.
Vaama is a land of enchantment, where the Pytoriu jungle is a treasure trove of ancient artifacts and hidden secrets. Sculptures and monuments to the gods can be found throughout the jungle, but leaving the safety of the city is a danger that only the bravest or most foolhardy can take. The real wonder of Vaama, however, are the four aerozoan moving cities, which are carried by ancient giants that roam the land.
In Suloli, the land of the Maestoss, great meteorites of otherworldly origin have brought riches beyond imagining to the Sulole people. They use these minerals to create weapons of legendary power, including the metal of the kings, the Urupu. Even the Kulvars, who are known for their own formidable armaments, are jealous of the Sulole's magical creations.
Finally, in Vazla, the land of the Reptal, giant batracian creatures from forgotten times roam the land, evoking a time of myth and legend. The air is thick with the scent of magic, and the people of this land are said to possess arcane powers beyond mortal ken.

Ecosystem

The Golden Continent boasts a unique and diverse ecosystem with various desert and nature biomes. A remarkable characteristic of this ecosystem is the symbiotic relationship between intelligent beings and the colossal ultra-fauna creatures. Each group has a distinct relationship with their respective dangerous creature, for example, the felvess and the white sea worms. The sea worms rely on people to remove their pests and help them shed their shells, which the felvess use for their weapons and tools. The felvess also employ these worms to navigate water sources. Water sources play a significant role in the nomadic lifestyle and trade routes of the continent. The rise and fall of rivers and the movement of underground water flows dictate the migration patterns and trade routes of the inhabitants.
The diverse underground life of the continent provides a plethora of root and starchy food options, which are the primary food source for most inhabitants. Dried fruits and nuts also offer a great nutritional value. Massive rainforests are situated along rivers and above large water reservoirs.
The animals that inhabit the plains are equipped with specialized heat-fighting hides, water-storing glands, and remarkable natural conservation abilities, developed over thousands of years of divine and natural evolution. Despite the tropical and stormy weather conditions during the wet season, the sun of the Golden Continent should not be underestimated, as its intense heat can pose a significant challenge for travelers and inhabitants alike.

Faune et Flore

The flora and fauna of Iunnuperon are a wonder to behold. The creatures that inhabit this continent are nothing short of magnificent, having evolved over time to adapt to the harsh environment. From the colossal reptiles that roam the vast desert to the cunning predators that lurk in the jungle, every creature has learned to survive in its own unique way. One cannot help but marvel at the adaptations of these animals, as they blur the line between what is considered "normal" in the animal kingdom. Take, for instance, the massive, short-coated creatures that inhabit the region. Despite being carnivorous, they tend to avoid attacking humans unless provoked, as every movement they make in the sweltering heat costs them precious energy. However, one should still be wary of opportunistic attacks from these creatures, as well as the carnivorous plants that have learned to blend seamlessly into their surroundings.
The plants of Iunnuperon are equally as impressive, with sprawling forests filled with succulent fruits, healing herbs and roots, and even deadly poisons. Some plants have developed a symbiotic relationship with the intelligent creatures of the land, allowing them to live in harmony with nature. However, angering the forests can result in dire consequences, as those who wander too far off the beaten path may find themselves lost or worse.

Ressources Naturelles

Across the continent, there are a variety of natural resources that are in high demand. Fruits, especially those grown in the numerous oases, are a vital part of the naval markets, both locally and globally. Softwoods that are useful for construction are also widely sought after. Groundwater is another valuable resource, with the water found beneath the oases being particularly sought after for its healing properties and use in advanced alchemy. However, the ultimate natural resource that the world desires is chukari, or star child metal. This rare and incredibly strong metal has a resistance to pure magic, making it highly valuable and sought after. Chukari is only sold during times of crisis and is a sign of immense respect between peoples. A promise made with a chukari offering is worth more than the life of any king.
Animal resources on the continent are also highly prized. The shell of giant ants has a form of magical resistance, while the skin of the sand snake offers great resistance to the sun and has potent anti-toxin properties. The baby teeth of the snake gods are among the most valued of all resources. These religious relics are said to hold the powers of the gods who once walked the earth and are incredibly rare in the wild. Some are held in the dungeons of the Felvesse royal family, while others are scattered in mortuary tombs as offerings to the gods. Anyone seeking them out does so at their own risk.
