MEGIMA *City of Mutts*

Megima is well known for its acceptance of all kinds. A very open city that is very diverse in it cultures. This is where the heroes start off in their quest being called to council here. Megima is ran by a three people council that are elected by the city population. It is a neat way they do this. No one ever sees the type of Zaonian the candidate is or what they look like. The only things they get to see is their beliefs, desires, plans, and personality. By doing this type of black out election, it prevents bias when it comes to choosing. Megima is a lovely, natural city very modern in the world of Zao. They have clean water supply, efficient energy and a protection system that does no harm to the environment. The buildings were all created with natural materials. Anything they borrowed they placed back. This city also holds a flying trade system using technology developed by Zaonians with wings. Megima is way above its time and a very friendly city to visit.​

 

Aurum Mountain Range

Named for its Golden, Warm feel, the Aurum mountains hold some of the tallest mountains that Zao knows. This provides a grand place for the Dragon like Zaonains as well as many others like the rare Chimera. These ranges are hard to reach and most lose breath before they can reach the middle. It is said that due to all the hot air most these dragons breath the mountains tops are void of snow and in fact thrive with plant life. There once was mountains tipped in snow, but the ice dragons feeling isolated by their lively counter parts left the Aurum Mountains and moved to the Howling mountains. Aurum Mountains hold many magical healing herbs that many seek out, but they are hard to reach and you will probably die before making it to the top.​

 

Howling Mountains

Usually snowy through out the seasons, the howling mountains is not a place to be traveled lightly. Unless your fur is thick and your blood is already ice, this place is dangerous and the deeper you go the colder it gets. Certain Packs of Lycos enjoy and thrive in this solitary world and live in a system of caves. There are moments of no snow that reside in certain places, but these are large hunting grounds for the Tribes and packs that live here. The Ice Dragons also reside here, but usually remain away from the packs and tribes as to their agreement. Some bears are known to reside here and snow leopards as well. These are only the predatory Zaonians, but there are also rabbits and smaller creatures too that can handle the weather. You can easily get lost here so it is best to have a guide take you through.​

 

Calida Desert

Calida is the hottest place located at the bottom of Zao. Even though it is the hottest location, it also gets freezing cold at night making it hard for either hot or cold based animals. This makes it one of the best locations for Erpon Zaonians. There are many towns and communities located through out the long dessert that help with travels. The Erpon Zaonians are weary of travelers, but they do not reject them. Other Zaonians do not usually travel to this part of the world due to the harsh climate and rule. The whole of Erpon is ruled by a Erpon Zaonian Snake family that has a tight grasp on Calida. You will learn more as you go. These people do not trust very easily.​

 

Krysta Tundra

Located at the top of Zao is the arctic tundra called Krysta. A beautiful aurora of lights can see above the land and there are no tall mountains only hills. Right next to this land is the Dyo Ocean that is controlled by the Tribe of Arkouda Polar that are in a long standing war with the Gata Snow leopard Tribe. The two do not see eye to eye and are always at each others throats. This is because the Dyo entrance holds the best food supply and they are fighting for their Tribe mates. Krysta is covered in glaciers and even have icy islands located around it. There are waterfalls and fresh water that flows in Krysta that is also a source of fighting. Krysta remains under 20 degrees, but is easier to travel through due to the flat lands and low elevation.


 

Valtos Swamps

Valtos is a large swampy area that without the right gear can have you bleeding without any sign of a scratch. This place is riddled with dangerous that are too small to see and with the cascading willow trees, it is hard to find your way out. This is where a lot of your Amfivio creatures live as well as some Erpon. This place is extremely humid to the point you might as well be breathing gallons of water, Be prepared, creatures here can either be extremely friendly and hospitable or dangerous​

 

Vrochi Forest

Vrochi forest is the only rainforest located in Zao, but it also takes up a lot of Zao as well. This rainforest is home to many Zaonians that all live different walks of life. Vrochi is a very lively and fun place to be, but it can leave you thrown off somewhere that you never knew existed if you aren't careful. Vrochi Zaonians are tricky and sly. They tend to draw people in, but never lead them out. Reminds me of the song "hotel California" too good to be true that's for sure.​

 

Mona Island

A mysterious island off the coast of Enas, Mona is not very well discovered though we do know that Zaonians live on it. It is said the Mona was cursed by the Gods and flooded, but was brought back to the surface again for a second chance. Mona has many abandoned artifacts that many have yet to discover.​

 

Dexia Forest

Dexia is a temperate forest home to another diverse way of lives. Dexia is located on the opposite side of the Aurum Mountains and cut off from the Vrochi Forest. Dexia is almost like wonderland with all its mushrooms and large based trees, sunny days, perfect months. Dexia is the perfect place to live it seems. A normal way of life. Many other Lycos live here and tons of other types of animals. on the otherside of Dexia is the grasslands making an even better balance.​

 

Chorto

The grasslands that border the Dexia Forest and the Calida desert. This grasslands is home to many prey like Zaonians that prefer the open freedom of the grasslands, but also to many coyote Zaonians that are scavangers and are known to steal from the other peaceful communities. Chorto is a pretty even temperature place with a decent warmth and a nice breeze. Lovely place to live, really.​

 

Kitri Savannah

The Savannah borders the jungle and leads out towards Megima. This land is home to a couple Prides of Lions that do not appreciate walking on their land. They tend to attack and are hostile to those that do not belong. That makes this area hard to travel through.​

 

Highly undiscovered

Underwater utopias, worlds we can not begin to understand. Many creatures that never seem to be seen live under the waves of blue. I guess we will just have to find out what is under those waters in our adventures.​
