The Great Olden World Treatise

## By Location

**Great Chartequeincy:** Look out for crows, harpy eagles, sparrowhawks, cats, mice, moles, voles, fireflies, foxes, rabbits, and various species of caterpillars and butterflies in woods and meadows.

**Sole, Marenet Island, Lavotia, and Saulta:** Grapes, ivy, olives, and quince trees are very common in huge quantities. Turkeys, wild boars, and moles can also be found.

**North Lobevia and Namporschia:** Frogs, toads, and newts are at their highest possible densities in this area of the Olden World. Snakes, foxes, colpeos, bats, and feral black cats may also be spotted. Owls, badgers, and weaving spiders are generally also present, but the actual animal may not be seen. Cushions of deep green moss cover the ground and tree trunks, mushrooms dot the forest floor, bare branches and fallen logs are commonly seen overgrown with lichen, thorny blackberry brambles form impenetrable thickets, large fronded ferns thrive in the damp shade, potentially toxic three-leaf poison ivy vines clamber up trees, and shelf fungi, bird's nest fungi, and jewel-like toadstools may be stepped upon.

**South Lobevia, Lanabilva, Orabella, and West Cantango:** Grapes, pears, maples, and some pines can be found at valleys. Palms are at higher densities the further south you get. Cats, mice, colpeos, and dogs are at very high densities. Songbirds like robins, wrens, larks, and nightingales fill the air with birdsong and flit between vine trellisses. Sometimes you might see a goat or a donkey.

**East Cantango, Silegre, Nalvagno, and The Abramo Republic:** Wolves, deer, and brown bears prowl prairies in unique niche. Hawks, eagles, and other raptors are commonly seen soaring the skies. Vine grapes, cypress trees, olive trees, lavender, rosemary, sunflowers, and poplars windbreak rolling yellow-grassed hills. Colpeos and foxes may be spotted but at lower densities. Moles, bees, earthworms, and dung beetles are in numbers numbering from thousands to millions in the grasslands.

**Lopphargia, Borogovia, and Suette:** Abundant cushiony moss grows on tree trunks, rocks, and the ground. Large feathery ferns, skunk cabbages, cattails, sphagnum moss, alders, and blewit mushrooms appear in boggy clearings. Herds of deer are commonly seen wandering through the dappled forest, as well as lumbering black bears, active beaver lodges, old snapping turtles, trilling songs of wood frogs, various newts and salamanders, glittering dragonflies and songbirds. Colpeos and foxes both have huge numbers close to 100,000 colpeos and close to a million foxes.

**Hargenland, New Acheson, Northwest Silegre, and Southwest Apelchemia:** Tall meadow grasses like brome, fescue, wheatgrass sway in the breeze, colorful blooms like buttercups, daisies, asters, and monkshood thrive, graceful sedges line ditches and waterlogged areas, strands of cattails mark very wet zones near ponds or streams, and soft green rushes grow densely in patches. Over 10 million butterflies live year-round and flit among blooms. Dragonflies patrol above wetland vegetation, honeybees and bumblebees are commonly seen collecting nectar and pollen, chorus of peepers and frog song rises from pond edges a night, loud songs of meadowlarks ring out across tall grass, wild rabbits are seen foraging in substantial numbers, deer are almost daily seen grazing leisurely in the rich wet grass, and grass snakes are seen sunning on logs or rocks. Colpeos have populations of around 20,000 and foxes 45,000 and are the largest predators in the area.

**Obna Virah, Khortnett, Sidrovaria, and Mynnuka:** Dead dry grass sticks up in tufts with various brown shades, gray-green sagebrush bushes are scattered across plain, tall golden-yellow rabbitbrush bloom in late summer, opuntia cacti can sometimes be found, and tumbleweeds blow across bare dirt. Foxes are not present, but colpeos have very very strong populations over a million. Horned larks, gophers, rattle snakes, hawks, and over 60 different species of rodent call this land home.

**Kosnatica:** Manzanita, sagebrush, lilac, bunchgrasses, and shrubs are found alongside large clusters of introduced rainbow eucalyptus.
