Wytn

Wytn is the largest and best-documented continent of the planet Ŵadin. It is home to many different climates and cultures, and is believed to be the first continent on this planet to have been colonised by human-form sentients.

Geography

The Humid North

The northern part of Ŵadin is humid and supports dense vegetation in the form of a rainforest as well as a curious crystal lake, the 'Freeze Sea'.

Notable Landmarks

The small stretch of land which connects the forested peninsula to the mainland is known in the local dialect as 'stro pa yehén'- 'land of the monsters'. It grows smaller with each passing year.

A large crystalline lake is located in the middle of the peninsula which constitutes the majority of the land upon which rainforest is found. The crystal covering the water beneath is nearly perfectly clear after rainstorms, but hazier and more opaque during dry spells. The exact nature of the crystal is unknown, but locals have drilled past it easily for centuries, even creating underwater air pockets. The lake is known colloquially as the 'Freeze Sea'.

The Grassy North

To the east slightly and away from the main peninsula, there is another small forested area and then hilly grasslands. An area called 'mi gib dena', or 'the dank earth place' is notable for the fact that it has perpetually damp clay instead of soil for ground material.

The Desert Wastelands and their cousin plains

Further south, the beginnings of the Atland mountains can be seen. These stretch almost the entire length of the continent, some 1100 miles. As one continues south, they divide the desert wastelands from the relatively nice grasslands to the west. Due to their height, they are unscalable and impassable save for the Tiaman pass.

The South

Past where the desert ends to the east, on the west shore of the continent the grasslands grow lusher and more dense, until finally turning into a deciduous forest, which lasts most of the rest of the way down the continent until the last 300 miles or so, where the mountains again divide the land into two. Beyond the mountains is a very short icy area which has no known name.
