Central Uplands

Central Uplands The Central Uplands are an enormous plateau of eastern central Libynos, more than 600 miles from its western edge to the Tekle Mountains on the east, and at least as far from its northern extent to the south. Meroë and Kazania lay claim to most of the territory in the plateau, with Aethiope and Axuum each claiming a small portion. Within the Central Uplands are Lake Targania and Lake Sulys, the sources of the Opal and Lapis Rivers, respectively. The Wambatu River, which runs south and west through the Grasslands of Wahm, also has its origin in a spring high on this plateau.
The Central Uplands are covered with savannah and open woodland, and are the home to such creatures as the great elephant and the giraffe. These animals tend to avoid the lower grasslands because there are too few of the trees and plants on which they like to graze. More of the populations are found in the Yingozi Woodlands on the south side of the Channel Lakes, but the groups are unable to mix now due to the deepened rivers and canals in that system.
