Ecology of The Hexarchy
This article or section is a work in progress. The information below may be incomplete, outdated, or subject to change. |
This is a work in progress. Several main categories exist for animals: jungle/rainforest (south/southwest), plains (north/northwest), islands (central/north-central) + environs, and desert (far west). Dedicated sections for flora and fauna will be added in due course.
Pyrax
Red Islands
Western Desert
Elam
Kanaloa (Island)
Great Plains
Known for their megafauna, the region is dominated by massive herbivorous lizards. They are used to sustain the vast plains and savannas, and to prevent the lands from being overrun by the megaflora endemic to the river's south. A vast plateau rich in oxygen, the place is sparsely populated by humans. Dragons roam the area but generally prey on mammals instead of the great sauropods used by the natives to cultivate the crops needed to feed the country's rapidly growing population. The grass, like the jungles, is known for growing exceptionally all, and yields very large wheat grains that take specialized machines to process. Otherwise an invasive plant, the sauropods keep the plants in check, and their feeding fertilizes the rest and leaves more than enough to feed the nation's population.
Eventide Islands
The Islands
The Riverlands (southeast/southwest)
The Keltian Jungle
Also known as the Great Forest. Located away from the wet riverland plateaus. Heavy rains all year, tropical setting. Plants are known for their excessive size, as are the fauna. Generally used as a dumping ground for experimental fauna to see if they survive the extremely dangerous environment.
