Ckaistaan

Ckaistaan is a fictional landmass located in the southern hemisphere of an unnamed planet. Its geography is characterized by a central mountain range, the Peaks of Aethel, which divides the continent into distinct eastern and western regions. The eastern side features arid plains and savannas, supporting a diverse array of large herbivores and their predators. The western side, in contrast, is dominated by dense, temperate rainforests, teeming with unique flora and fauna, many of which are bioluminescent.

The climate of Ckaistaan varies significantly. The east experiences a pronounced dry season and a shorter, intense wet season, leading to nomadic lifestyles for some of its inhabitants. The west, however, enjoys a more consistent, humid climate with frequent rainfall throughout the year. Coastal areas, particularly along the southern shores, are prone to tropical storms.

Several intelligent species are known to inhabit Ckaistaan. The dominant species, the K'tharr, are bipedal humanoids with chitinous exoskeletons, primarily residing in the eastern plains and known for their communal living and advanced agricultural techniques. In the western rainforests dwell the Sylvani, arboreal beings with a deep connection to the natural world and a reputation for their mastery of herbalism and camouflage. Smaller, more elusive species are rumored to exist in the more remote and treacherous regions of the continent. The origins and history of Ckaistaan are largely unrecorded, though ancient ruins suggest a once-flourishing civilization predating the current inhabitants.
