Uleon

Uleon was the first of the continents to recover from The Collapse, and as such is thought of as the cradle of modern Ioran civilization. It is also the continent that has seen the most conflict in the world, with the main instigators being the nations of Akhi, Xohil, and Megatu.

Geography

  Located primarily in the southeastern hemisphere, south of the Sirae Ocean, Uleon boasts the largest landmass of the three Ioran continents. It connects to Eovara at the border of Tanoshira and ends in the south with a swath of tundra that connects it to the South Pole. The largest nations that occupy the continent are Soaraia and Megatu, though most major world powers that call it home are relatively close in size since the dissolution of the Akhi Empire. In total, it is divided between 27 unique states.   At 1.96 billion inhabitants, Uleon also houses the majority of the world's population. Of that 1.96 billion, most of Uleon's population lives in the verdant central belt of the continent south of the Thulathi Deserts, though the largest cities can be found in northern Nyota and central Soaraia. The most populated nations on the continent are Soaraia and Xohil, though Zehl has the highest population density.   The continent features one major mountain range called the Horns of the World that stretches from the Bau shoreline in the west to the Megatu plains in the East, with the highest peaks found in Xohil territory.  

Ecosystem

Due to its sheer size, it is difficult to generalize when it comes to Uleon's climate, as it ranges from the arid deserts of Nyota to the humid jungles of Baejahn to the windswept tundras of southern Soaraia. That said, the northern parts of the continent tend towards warmer, dryer climates, with the average temperature gradually decreasing and relative moisture gradually increasing as you get closer to the South Pole.  

Flora and Fauna

As with the continent's ecosystem, it is difficult to generalize when it comes to Uleon's flora and fauna. It does play host to the worlds largest species of land mammal, the Uldra, the tallest of which stands at almost 20 feet and weighs a little over 26 tons. The rainforests of Baejahn are also the most biologically diverse environment on Iora, though the vast majority of the species that live there have yet to be internationally documented.
