The
Federal Province of the Onooga Frontier is the least populated and most isolated province on Tersten. Hard to reach and often forgotten, it marks one of the last remaining frontiers on the planet. Unlike other Federal Provinces, which have their own independent regional government, Onooga is neither united nor given any real representation in the greater
Republic of Tersten. Its largest urban area is the city of
Bishen, which is often seen as the de-facto regional authority, but only in regards to human affairs.
Onooga is home to a significant number of
Terstnathi, especially in the lands of the
Tersten Hegemony.
Geographic Regions
Northern Onooga
Northern Onooga is a largely fertile and semi-arid region of Onooga. Its northern coasts are a warm, Mediterranean climate, bordering the
White Ocean, with the land becoming more arid further south, until it reaches the Great Onooga Desert.
Samhill Basin
The Samhill Basin lies at the border between Onooga and the
Federal Province of Yukela. It borders the
Greenstone Valley to the east, the
Bishen Valley to the south, the
Corral Oasis and the
Kitteradigto the west, and the White Ocean to the north. The largest city here is
Samhill, an old mining town and now the capital of
Murasa, a minor nation that controls the entire Basin.
Corral Oasis
The Corral Oasis is a small region situated around the Corral Oasis. It is home to a small number of settlements, with some connections to east and west. The Oasis is bordered in the north by the Western Hild River Valley, in the east by the Samhill Basin, in the south by the Kitteradig, and in the west by the Commonlands. The deserts around the Oasis are very sparsely populated and very underdeveloped.
Western Hild River Valley
The Western Hild River Valley stretches from the Hild River and the border with Mediolama, all the way to the other side of the Samhill Basin. The region's entire northern border is the White Ocean, with high cliffs stretching east of the town of Guthrie. It is bordered in the north by the White Ocean, in the east by the Samhill Basin, in the south by the Corral Oasis and Commonlands, and in the west by the Hild River Valley.
The largest settlement here is the city of Puña, lying on Hild River, just west of the city of Boyes, which is located in Mediolama territory. Beyond Puña, Herbertsville, and Guthrie, the Western Hild River Valley and its impressive cliffs are mostly uninhabited.
Commonlands
South Onooga
Home to the Tersten Hegemony. A depression in the landscape, with plains and small lakes in the southern reaches of it. Becomes more desert the more north you go, until you reach the settlement of Fossilmouth. The southern reaches of Onooga is the Coetupo Range.
