Aziel/Geography

OverviewOrbital Bodies Geography Biology Urban Centers History

## **Overview**

Aziel is covered by 4 continents, 2 oceans, and many small islands. Every continent is filled with different environments, ranging from hot savannah's to cold taiga's. Each continent, ocean, and island is filled with unique, and verdant life, from giant lizards, to tiny fish.

## **Continent**

### **Equis**

Equis is the second most temperate of Aziel's four continents, with massive bioluminescent forests dominating the majority of the landscape, and vast deserts in between. The aforementioned bioluminescent forest contains many wonderous species of plants, including various species of glowing bushes, grass, and vines that make up the a large part of the ecosystem. The largest part of it's ecosystem however would be it's fauna which dominates the continent. From ravaging beasts, to peaceful herd species, there's no shortage of life on Equis.

Equis is the most populated out of all the four continents of Aziel, as it's the safest with no great dangers. It's population is very large, even being larger then entire colony worlds. One of the main factors for Equis having such a high population would be it's geography, as the terrain is mostly made out of endless expanses of vast grasslands and sparse woodlands.

The continent's major exports are more organic in nature compared to the other continents, as very few factories or refineries are on the surface. Thus, things like drinkable water and food are the continent's largest exports. The reason for this would be the large amount of freshwater on the continent's surface, with its thirty six large lakes of fresh drinkable water, which many species also depend on to survive and thrive. While in the food department, the Aenpari rainforests and jungles are teeming with flora and fauna of countless varieties, as well as endless expanses of fertile soil to grow and raise the needed food supply.

In the uppermost area of Equis lies Calen Taiga, where plant life is made more common and animal life rarer. It is one of the only areas on Equis where the ability of bioluminescence has not spread to. In the western area of this enormous taiga is the Taiga of Ruins, which originally was a lush part of the taiga, however it was entirely burnt down in a massive wildfire caused by yet unknown reasons.

A line of deserts runs through the continent of Aziel, which is itself called The Three Deserts. The desert located in the west is called the Euclian Desert" the middle is called the Eyanis Desert, and the eastern one is called the Nix Deser". These vast dunes share a single ecosystem of flora and fauna. Slicing the deserts are two massive forests called Aclush Woodlands, which hold an ecosystem similar to the one in the deserts-.

Located in the center of Equis, the Seupra Forests make up around half of the continent. In these forests many bioluminescent species of trees make up most of the ecosystem, while fauna is primarily herbivorous, gently feasting on the glowing plants. An unique lightshow is constantly going on during the night, where the grass creates stellar bioluminescent waves of light.

A small savanna-like area called Rhean Savanna exists near the equator bordering the Sea of Diversity. Many species of small flora flourish there, along with the creatures to consume them.

## **Islands**

### **Eyus Island**

Eyus Island is a massive island in the shape of the head of an hammer, next to the Equis continent. It is made out of deserts, and plains. The fauna and flora of Eyus Island is almost the same as it is on Equis, however some new species appear on this island.

It is colonized with massive ecological city on it, called "City of Eyus", which has a small underground section of it. The island's terrain is mainly flat, including the deserts and plains. The island is an oasis of life, as it hosts a really high amount of flora, and fauna in the plains. Most of the fauna is herbivorous.

The deserts have host no life except some rare cacti. The island is connected to the continent of Equis by a massive highway. The island also has many factories on it. As it is an industrialized island

## **Lakes**

### **Lake Rockspire**

The Lake Rockspire is a massive lake on the continent of Aenpari, with the diameter of over a hundred kilometers. The average lake depth however is only forty meters. The lake has numerous spires made out of rock on the seabed, hence its name.

The island also has a massive dormant volcano in the middle of it. The lake is home to several exclusive fauna and flora species, including the Feloars.

### **Lake Cormaige**

The Lake Cormaige is by far the deepest lake ever found on Aziel. It is located in the southern area of the Equis continent. While only around ten kilometers in lenght, the Lake Cormaige is the deepest, with the lowest part of it being approximately two kilometers below the sea level, essentially making it a rift lake. Lake Cormaige is the largest freshwater lake by volume on Aziel, containing 22 to 23% of the Aziel's fresh surface water. The depths of Lake Cormaige hide many deep-sea species, including the prominent Caerulaen Ghostrays.
