Gloynbyw Fields

The Gloynbyw ("the living coal") of the is the name of a coalfield area in Kargast. It separates the Headless Mountains and the region of Meld's Mouth, and is somewhat of a quaint, agrarian and pastoral escape from the otherwise industrial complexes in both areas. Theoretically.

What are your non-earth-like geographical features in your setting?

• The area has been mined age after age using various technologies, much of that has left the area scarred and seemingly uninhabitable until what seems like recent.
• There is an abundance of large Gwraig Verth, giant stone women/their bones that are used as settlements for Halfwings
• There are lot of spoil heaps which have become their own ecosystems and even built upon by inhabitants of the valley
• The inhabitants, based on the ecosystem, have the capability to use batteries but typically only have a few central sources of charging them, so no electrical grid, just a lot of generators

What’s the general “lay of the land” of your active worldbuilding area?

• It is a hilly region at the Southeastern end of the Headless Mountain range
• There are several prominent hills such as Atenoux Hill and Penaval Hill
• Part of Base Camp Mountain, the first peak of the Headless Mountains, is a plastic ice sheet-like wall
• Many rivers carve through the valley, emptying into Meld's Mouth Bay, with the largest point being the Estuary of the River Meld
• Some of its tributaries include the River Orgetos, River Bodua, and the River Paris
• The region technically includes the Northern segment of Meld's Mouth, a frequently disputed region and cultural centre of the Western inhabitants with its own egregore
• There are a lot of orchards and wooded areas as trees tend to feed well off Gwraig Verth.

And what is the climate or environment like, in your active worldbuilding area?

• It rains a lot and is home to several micro climates, but some areas experience intense winters and cold snaps due to their proximity to the Headless Mountains
• Climate is otherwise fairly mild maritime climate with some influence from the Northern mountains and Southern Meld's Mouth Bay

Next, What is the ecosystem & habitat like in your active worldbuilding area?

• Choleric Badland terrain is common due to the former heavy industry, particularly in the uplands and base of Base Camp Mountain
• Phelgmatic Bogland in some of the areas in the South where there are more rivers and less underground fires

Finally, what natural resources are found in your active worldbuilding area?

• Obsidian, which can be transmuted into several materials
• Aluminium
• Hagsbreath
• Kalium
• Halite/Salt
• Silicon
• Copper
• Crossvein
• Sulphur
• Various Edible Matter
• Gall Apples, Plums,and Medlars
• Ghostcrane shrimp
