## Climate and Geographical Features

There are seven provinces and each are often divided in their little regions. Berchill, Avonheller, and Tolwick are known as the ‘meadow provinces’ precisely being filled with dry, arid, but cold prairies. Tolwick has more sunshine then any other Siere province, as well as beholding a continental climate. Winters are often dry, snowy, and cold with periodic foehn winds often warming up the province, the province experiences more weather changes then another province. Tolwick, on average, in summer at least, is 20° to 28° on a daytime high, as well as geographical features being that the whole west of the province is all prairie and meadow while the entire east going up to the Arctic is all mountains (The Zenith Mountains).

Avonheller is the middle meadow province, bordering Tolwick to its east, and Berchill to its west. Avonheller also has a continental climate, often experiencing extreme temperature and weather changes like Tolwick. Temperatures range from -43° in the dense, windy, drenched cold of the province to a warmer 34° to the south of the province. Avonheller is 65% meadow, with portions of boreal forest to its north, stretching all the way up to the Avonheller-Arctic border.

Berchill has a continental but quite chilly climate, more chillier then its eastern brothers. Winters, on average, can be -46° while summer days are usually around 39° C. Berchill is mostly prairie, however, it is oddly situated a bit more north then its eastern brothers, being placed closer to the Arctic, averaging more shield-Arctic region. Berchill also receives more snow.

Stafcord is the easternmost province, and despite it being the same position as its western siblings, it is nowhere the same climate. The region is very, very rainy especially during the spring, fall, and summer, but the inner part of the province closer to the Zenith Mountains experience a drier, more continental climate. Geographical features include boreal forest, sharp jagged mountains, lakes, rivers, seashores, and even deserts, especially to its very south.

Kamver is one of the warmest regions of western Siere, winter temperatures range from -7° to -1° C, mainland Kamver has a more continental, ‘diverse’ climate with warm summers ranging to cold, snowier winters, while Kamver Island (the southernmost point of Siere), experiences a oceanic climate, with cool summers and mild winters.

Causaking is situated in a strange area, nor west nor east, this central province is located above New Siere, west of Berchill, east of Kamver and Sierve. The province is home to the country’s capital. The climate is humid continental, with hot, mild summers ranging to cold, barren winters. Causaking has a strange size, much more wider then any other province making its temperature and climate range from county to county.

Sierve is the westernmost province, as well as the biggest. The size of the province is tremendous, with the southernmost point reaching more south then any other province (excluding Kamver), and the northernmost point reaching far more north then the other provinces. Southern and central Sierve has a humid continental climate, with warm, humid summers to long, cold winters. The northernmost climate is literally reaching the Arctic, literally. Making it barren and cold with year-round snow and winters.
