'''Lescealh''' is a hilly region in the northwestern corner of [[Lheinead]]. It is dominated by the Faraneih, an ethnic group who comprise over 99% of its 10 million inhabitants.

==Geography==
It is bordered on the northwest by the Kupeimeiceah, a barren desert. To the northeast is a stretch of savanna, while the southeast is mainly higher and higher mountians of which Lescealh is merely the foothills. That mountain range extends south, further than the Faraneih know, who refer to it as the "backbone of the world". To the southwest lies the chapparell which eventually gives way to the Measceineafh and Teimeareitah (Trovog in [[Etimri]]). 

Due to this unique geography, Lescealh has adequate annual rainfall (around 30 to 40 inches in many regions), although the areas bordering it have very little rainfall, giving it a more productive economy and agriculture, in part inspiring its dominance over other regions and promotion of its langauge ([[Faraneit]]) to lingua franca status.

==Ecology==
Lescealh is commonly described as having a "cfzb" or "cfb" climate under Koeppen's system. It profits from winter rainfall (from the west), which allows it to avoid the harsh winters of the east, as well as the monsoon from the southeast, which boosts its amaranth production, Lescealh's main crop.

Lescealh is famous for its multi-colored forests, where a mixture of various tree species grow and thrive. Because of its colorful appearance, it was named Lescealh, which derives from the same root as leizealh, gem, in [[Faraneit]]. 

==Agriculture==
Agriculture is highly productive in Lescealh. Its leading crops are puzil, a tree which produces harvestable sweet roots, amaranth, lirodeaz, a sweet and sour flavored melon, nopav, a lettece like green, and voanabeap, a fiber crop.
