Tekra

Tekra is the name of the mesa region of central Akonanda, in the region known as Centalia Minor. The name itself is derived from the first two syllables of the Ardosots words Teram-Kraudosam, meaning "red lands", in reference to the color of the sand and stone of the region.
There are a number of peoples native to the mesas One of the most notable are the Utimseh-Smara, who have established several small city-states over the years in the north and west of the mesa. The nations of the Akonanda Western Company, Ardoseh Bakeikau, Thelianor Victoriae, Uresh, Fifth Reign and Rolaka are present in the region.
== Geography and geology ==
The area consists of a dissected plateau of sandstone and massive-mudstone formations, heavily eroded by the rivers that cut through the area. The plateaus are rich in both gold and fossil material, however the gold deposits only exist in the overlying sedimentary regions of the mesa.
The underlying geology consists of a series of granitic intrusions, indicating the presence of ancient volcanism in the distant past. There also exist a number of geothermal springs, and limited amounts of lava upwelling. However, the lava here is mafic and resulted in the deposition of gabbros and basalts. This is likely due to the subduction of the nearby oceanic plate generating mafic magma/lava, and uplifting the mountains.
