Nurasti

Nurasti, land of the 12 winds. I suppose it is sensible that I first speak of that with which I am most familiar. I like most Avali am from the continent of Nurasti, and as it is my home, it is what I know most about. Tarak Celiancrest- Tarak's Tome of Traveling

Geography

Nurasti is divided by four separate mountain ranges into distinct regions with vastly differing climates.   The Karakshri Mountains separate the Nafrisi Expanse and the Untha Lowlands, east of the lowlands is the Zineshri Range, with the Zineshri jungle to the south and the Great Plains in the east. The southeest shore of the Great Plain is the Mertashri Cliffs, and the Estathren peninsula beyond that. In the northeast, the Sanshiri Peaks separate the Alshamal Plains from the rest of Nurasti.   The Nafrisi Expanse is a great desert with monsters aplenty, most notably Ankhegs and Bulettes who prey on them. The little vegetation that exists survives around a scattereing of oases in the northern part of the expanse, nearer to the Karakshri Mountains.   The Untha Lowlands are a hilled region that receives sparse rain year-round by the Sirefen winds in summer, and the Liuafen winds in winter which makes it a semi forested area.   The Great Plain, as its name suggests, is a large, mostly flat savannah environment, with tall grasses and sparse trees, a variety of animals are both herded and hunted by Avali tribes in these lands where they are native.   The Zineshri Jungle lies to the south of the Zineshri Range, it receives much more rain from the south than
