Saari is a hot continent located in the Soturi: Alafus Region . It is split in half by the Saari Mountains. On the Western half of the mountains you have a large rainforest area followed by monsoon climates on the North-Eastern side and South-Eastern side. This transitions into a savannah climate which then transitions into the desert side of Saari, which is on the Eastern side of the of the Saari Mountains. The rainforest side of Saari is a very dense area where there are lots of villages and communities situated around rivers, especially Unknowns and another tree climbers, although some humans inhabit the Eastern side. On the desert side only tough creatures survive, during the day its a hot wasteland but during the night its a cold abyss. Lots of underground houses are built here and (creatures/people) tend to live there. There are lots of markets/oasis' around the savannah biome. There are also minor settlements in the Saari Mountains, where there is constant cold winds and snow. Saari has 2 main governments, one on the Eastern side of Saari and the other on the Western side of Saari, whereas the mountain civilizations are independent. Both sides are still one country however they have had civil wars before. Although they have a rule that at markets there is peace between the 2 governing houses.
The Flora of the desert consists of lots of fleshy plants including Cacti and small shrubs, and grasses, whereas the Flora of the rainforest consists of large amounts of underbrush and fungi. The Fauna in the desert consists of lots of adaptable animals like Unknowns and other animals with plenty of insulation and a means to store water, whereas the Fauna of the rainforest consists of lots of Unknowns, some large, lots of tree climbers, large Unknowns, and lots of tropical Unknowns. The Flora of the Saari Mountains contains a fringy forest near the Eastern rainforest, and a more cold desolate climate near the Eastern desert, containing shrubs and grasses. The Fauna of the Saari Mountains contains Unknowns, Unknown, and manners of large Unknown .There are unique rare gems that are mined in the desert of Saari that are naturally made by the pressure of the weighing sand and the extreme heat experienced. In the rainforest the locals collect venom of lots of the native creatures such as snakes, frogs, and spiders. In the Saari Mountains they harvest compact ice, a means of cooling, which they mainly sell to the desert, and precious stones that are very expensive.
Saari experiences heavy rain with strong winds on the Eastern side of the Saari Mountains , experiences heatwaves, droughts, sandstorms and Wyrm attacks on the Western side of the Saari Mountains and experiences extreme cold and freezing in the Saari Mountains. The inhabitants have learned how to deal with these hazards in their own ways.
The majority of the inhabitants of the desert consists of Humans, Sand Elfs and Dwarfs, although you can find much more diversity. In the rainforest side you can expect to see lots of Unknowns and other humanoid tree climbers, you can also expect to see some Tree Elfs however the presence of Human is rather devoid. The Saari Mountains contain some Humans, Dwarfs and various humanoid Unknown.
The official language of Saari is (LANGUAGE HERE) and is spoken by all the inhabitants, however there are other local dialects among the Unknowns.
The Humans of the desert worship the sand, but the Sand Elfs and Dwarfs worship the creator, The Divine Dragon. The Unknowns and the majority of the rainforest side also acknowledge and worship The Divine Dragon.
The desert is densely populated near the edge of the biome but in the interior of the desert there is a lack of life, however you can still find some settlements, mostly miners. The rainforest contains major settlements and trade centers around rivers and the coast, and has smaller settlements farther in the forest. The savannah is home to large markets and settlements that extend into the desert. The mountains contain mining camps but also have a smaller communities throughout.
The governments are as such, the rainforest is known as the Republic of Saari and the desert is the Desert Democracy and the mountain has an independent republic-like leadership structure. The Desert Democracy works in Tsa'karcha capital of the desert, a large market and city, and the Republic of Saari operates near the large coast-side port and market in the rainforest. The Republic of Saari votes on new leaders every 3 years and a leader can only be voted 4 times, most often what happens is the leader gets elected and then their child gets elected after the parents 4 terms are up. The voting age is 16 years of age, or an equivalent age of maturity in different races. The Desert Democracy has a monarchy, a family rules until they are overthrown and leadership is passed to the firstborn of the family.
Both the governments have good economy and they trade luxury items with other countries. The Saari Mountains do most of their business with the desert however they also do off-country trading.
The military of the Desert Democracy consists of hardy seasoned warriors and mages that use earth magic. The Republic of Saari 's military is smaller but consists of highly trained black-ops/guerilla assassins, they are very dangerous.
