Climate Zones
Elaqitan has a total of six climate zones:
- the south and north polar Mi-Usdur zone and Ak-Usdur zone
- the northern and southern temperate Wôdrûd zone and Ibûrû zone
- the northern and southern suptropical Hépútú Zone and Ongotub Zone
Even if the island of Aqitalú is located within the subtropical Hépútú zone, there is no climatic zone here like on the rest of the continents. Through the magic of the world tree, every visitor can "move" in the climatic zone of his homeland.
It should be noted that the northern zones are always cold zones and the southern zones are always warm zones.

Aqitalú Island of elements
The Isle of Elements is the heart of Elaqitan, connecting the four continents of elements through the roots of the World Tree which the capital of the elements Aqila was built around.
Located in the south-central region, the continent is teeming with volcanoes, geysers and thrive with thermophilic organisms that are extremely well adapted to the high temperatures like the firewalkers.
The continent is located in the middle north and is characterized by lush meadows between colored mountains and green hills and forests. The home of good goblins, gentle giants and clumsy trolls.
