BIOME: Alpine Tundra.

With nights that are below freezing and afternoons that aren't much warmer, the mountains may prove to be perilous to those who are not well adapted to its rocky terrain. There is some grasses and dwarfed trees, but the majority of it is heath, as the soil is too poor to allow growth for trees.

BIOME: Taiga.

Any precipitation is in the form of snow, and the only flora are evergreen trees- firs, pines, and spruces- as the soil is not only thin, but is acidic as well. The majority of animals that are able to comfortably roam are those that have the thick pelts to do so.

BIOME: Arctic Tundra.

There is a constant top layer of permafrost, but when precipitation occurs, it refills the many bogs and ponds that are scattered intermittently across the terrain. The majority of plants includes low shrubberies, lichens, and mosses.

BIOME: Temperate Forest.

Known for its biodiversity, the natural fertility of these types of forests allow for a manifold of plants and animals to thrive. Temperatures are usually mild.

BIOME: Fresh Water..

A series of freshwater swamps, marshes, and bogs, the Everglades are only a suitable home for mainly-aquatic creatures, such as manatees, crocodiles, alligators, and the like.

BIOME: Grasslands.

Absent of trees and large shrubs, this is miles upon miles of tall grasses. The seasonal droughts and occasional wildfires are an important part of the biological balance, as they prevent trees rooting. The climate is easy to adapt to, thus providing a suitable home for many creatures.

BIOME: Semi-arid Desert.

Days are hot and nights are cool, and it is mainly nothing but thin, scraggly sagebrush. There is some degree of rainfall, but it is uncommon and much hoped-for. The majority of the animals that live here dig burrows or find dens in the rocks as shelter from the relentless rays of the sun.

BIOME: Hot-and-dry Desert.

Because there is little humidity in the air, temperatures are at a maximum. Rain is concentrated in random bursts with long dry periods in between. The majority of the plants are ground-level mesquites and yuccas, though there are many, many cacti. The ability to survive here is one that is shared by few.

BIOME: Salt Water.

A large (though small in contrast to others) ocean that is home to a variety of whales, porpoises, and seals.

BIOME: Mountainous region.

Relatively rainy and warm, this section of the Andes is quite pleasant, though the obvious elevation does induce some cold drafts. The slopes are craggy, but do have the necessarily semi-rich soil to allow many sorts of small but nourishing plants to grow.

BIOME: Semi-arid Desert.

The soil is , obviously, sandy, and while the rainfall is low, some plants are able to thoroughly grow. Many of the plants include sagebrush and the occasional cactus, and it's not uncommon to see the well-known tumbleweed skirt across the seemingly barren land.

BIOME: Grasslands.

Only about half of the time is this setting visited by rainfall; the other half of the time wildfires are imminent. While there are rarely full-blown trees, there are large shrubs alongside the usual grasses.

BIOME: Temperate Forest.

There is a greatly diversified list of animals that are usually found here. The canopy is somewhat dense, allowing both proper security for the animals as well as light penetration. It is truly a beautiful place, with mountains to the back, freshwater rivers on the sides, and a tropical forest only miles away that brings extra rainfall.

BIOME: Tropical Forest.

There are only two seasons: rainy and dry. The animals that are strictly to this biome can survive in none other, as their food sources are only found in expanses of tropical forests. There are plenty of scattered pools of water. The canopy is multi-layered and allows for very little light to peek through. The plant life is incredibly diversified.

BIOME: Freshwater.

The water is murky, and so the depths can be deadly- no one quite knows just how deep the water is, nor what scaly demons lay within to snap up unsuspecting prey.

BIOME: Tropical Forest.

Cover is thick and the canopy is nearly always wet, leaving pools in the leaves of the bizarre plants that call this place home, as well as a multitude o strange, twisting streams.

BIOME: Temperate Forest.

Very rarely are these woods flat; the majority of it are rollicking hills laced with non-evergreen trees. The water sources are few and far between, but the climate itself is not so harsh that it makes for difficult living.

BIOME: Grasslands.

The land stretches before your eyes, so flat that any small crest seems like an enormous dune. The grass is thick, but it is located close enough to the mountains that storms occur frequently. Prey does not have easy cover here, save for the occasional thin thicket of trees or a gathering of brush, but predators also lack the necessary cover to use the element of surprise.

BIOME: Arid Desert.

One of the few arid deserts in the world, it receives a great deal of rainfall, and this both helps trees and green shrubs to remain healthy as well as keeping what reservoirs of water are around full. Most creatures can adapt well to the environment, despite the heat.

BIOME: Hot-and-cold Desert.

It is not uncommon to see frost and even snow capping the dunes in this vast sandy place, and the temperatures change rapidly and without much warning. There is a decent amount of rainfall, but it may be rather dry- it simply depends on the season. At any time, monsoons may strike, but only days later, snowstorms might fill burrows and tear apart dens.

BIOME: Alpine Tundra.

The high altitude prevents trees from growing, and the soil is not nutrient-rich, though some small flora manages to sprout, providing sustenance for the herbivores, which in turn are fed on by the far larger, and far more elusive, carnivores.

BIOME: Arctic Tundra.

Vegetation mainly includes liverworts, low shrubbery, and lichens, as the soil is often upturned and disturbed and the sweeping winds are quick to drag the almost-rootless flora from the ground. It is cold year-round, and the snow is constant, though there are large patches of dried grass in between. There are rock formations that allow for dens, and there are several decent water sources.

BIOME: Mountainous Region.

It's a beautiful place, really, swathed in a carpet of green and enclosed by rings of trees. The ground can get a bit rocky, and the higher you climb, the less gentle the way becomes, but the creatures that live here are used to that, and have been for generations.

BIOME: Hot-and-dry Desert.

This merciless desert is essentially inhabitable to all but those who has evolutionally developed to adapt to its sweltering temperatures. Few species can comfortably call this place home.

BIOME: Semi-arid Desert.

An expanse of land that is known for its meerkat clans, it springs to life at the first sign of rain. The sand and soil is noticeably red, though there is nothing but the possibility of distinctive minerals to explain it.

BIOME: Grasslands.

An immeasurable savanna that stretches for miles over most of Africa, it houses the majority of its wildlife, but is still not the easiest place to call home- wildfires run rampant, and storms strike constantly. Still, water sources are not difficult to find, and the soil is loose enough for easy burrowing.

BIOME: Tropical Forest

Previously destroyed by the humans for logging, over the last millennium or so the flora has managed to bounce back quite well, and it is now home, once again, to a diverse assortment of animals and birds.

BIOME: Freshwater.

French for "the Ivory Coast", this thick river snakes for quite some time, cutting through the majority of the land. It is thought to be the headspring for the Mara.

BIOME: Temperate Forest.

A profoundly magnificent mixture of heathland, tropical forestry, marshes, and exquisite temperate-ranging trees, the Tarkine is the only piece of land that allows for almost every creature to survive with ease.

BIOME: Freshwater.

Surrounded on both sides by a cover of trees, the water is shallow and clear in some parts and deep and murky in others. Any aquatic or semi-aquatic creatures can roam here, as well as the ones that simply need a refreshing drink.

BIOME: Tropical Forest.

One of the world's most ancient rainforest, its climate never changes and it is stable enough to sustain the same life year-round, as well as accept new species into its depths.

BIOME: Arid Desert.

The terrain is rocky, and small hills peak out over the horizon. It is relatively isolated, but is well-watered because of the unusually high rainfall that occurs. Temperatures are often mild.

BIOME: Grasslands.

The only large surviving trees are acacia, which are quintessential for many of the marsupials that call this place home. It is mainly dense grass, with many hills, and is a very pleasant place to call home- though it does get a bit humid at times.

BIOME: Mountainous Region.

The lower slopes are furry with verdant sprigs of grass, though the higher you climb the more rocky it becomes. It is a gradual slope, as mountains go, and conditions remain mild until the dead of winter.

BIOME: Temperate Forest.

The humans' plans of long ago to log these peaceful woods was in vain- it is now taking over a considerable amount of architecture. Alongside the normal cover that the trees provide, don't be to surprised to see crumbling brick peeking out from beneath curling vines. Temperatures here are mild, with every season distinct.

BIOME: Mountainous Region and Alpine Tundra.

Beginning with frosted hills and a thin base of trees, the temperature lowers dramatically as you climb. Because the slopes are not too perilous, it is far easier to attempt and cross these mountains than it is others.

BIOME: Cold Desert and Arctic Tundra.

As picturesque as they come, there is usually sun, but the snow and ice is never melted, only thinned. The winds here are very strong, and the temperatures, despite the sun begging for strength, are nearly always freezing. It is not a particularly forgiving place to live.

BIOME: Taiga.

In all technicalities, this forest is the exact same one that exists in Asia and North America as well. It was able to thin out into mixed forest in South America, but during the ancient time of Panacea, when the continents were all joined, this was one enormous, worldwide evergreen strait. The climate has not changed much.

BIOME: Grassland.

An ecoregion suspended on the edge of a knife, it has a very delicate relationship with the clouds- if it were to receive any more rain, it would become a forest; if it were to receive any less rain, it would become a desert. Because of its proximity to the mountains, it is very cold. It is mainly grasses, dotted by a few trees and some hills, and water supplies occur every couple of miles. It is an extreme zone: summers are excessively hot, and winters are excessively cold. Plan accordingly.

BIOME: Semi-arid desert.

It is one of the few deserts in the world that was accidentally man-made, and because of such the soil and sands varies. Some parts cannot support plant life no matter how much rain they acquire, whilst others are fairly bustling with life and the annual rainfall only plays a very small part.

BIOME: Cold Desert.

The most isolated region on earth, the chances of the majority of it breaking down for plants are, well, slim. To blend in with the landscapes, most of the species here are naturally white, or pale, in color.

BIOME: Arctic Tundra and Mountainous Region.

The coast is a equal parts ice, snow, lichens, and rocks. It is, of course, a very short (or far, depending on which section you are inhabiting) drop from the ocean.

BIOME: Salt Water.

The water is almost to the freezing point, and is broken up only by glaciers and ice bergs. It's alluring in its beauty, but also deadly to any that can't withstand the temperatures.
