Maotet

The Northlands

Maotet is the Northern Continent in Acherion, both The Alpine Fields and The Desolate Wastes are considered part of the continent. Over all it is a harsh cold climate, with northern temperatures dropping deep into the negatives often

Maotet is the smaller of the two continents, having roughly the same surface area as South America.

Maotet's shape resembles a waning crescent with a cancerous growth in the center.

Maotet's population is spread mostly over The Alpine Fields, with roughly 10,000 people in Maotet.

Matotet's topography is quite hilly in the southern region, with the Falcord Slopes taking up a large portion of The Alpine Fields; in the north however large swaths of The Desolate Wastes are flat tundras.

Maotet has large veins of cold bronze in The Desolate Wastes, with plenty of other rare gems & metals laying untouched deep under the surface.

there are three main bodies of water in and around Maotet; The Berbrous Ocean, The White Depths, and Turtle Cove.

While most stay away from Maotet due to its freezing climates, few people travel and live here to exploit the vast and untouched minerals that lay deep beneath the surface. While the continent does not have as many minerals (or quite the variety) that Plasis has, its lack of competition is a huge attractant.

Maotet is quite a cold continent, a large portion of its area is filled with frigid weathers (below -40🜘) causing it to be very hard to grow crops, the lower portion of The Alpine Fields does have mild weather, allowing for crops to be grown an exported. However a large portion of Maotet's crop supply comes exported from Plasis.

Maotets economy is surprisingly quite good, the general populace all has decent wealth they get from exporting Maotets specialty crops.

Maotet architecture relies heavily on brick & stone structures with tall peaked roofs. in the northern regions (The Desolate Wastes) massive hearths are incorporated into the rooms to produce heat.

Maotet is known to be a very cold continent. With many bandits in the less populated areas one must be armed at all times lest they be robbed.

Maotet has many different crops that grow within its borders; from the Bronze Fir Trees in The Desolate Wastes to the Glacierberry. The continent of Maotet as a whole exports lots of specialty crops to Plasis.

Maotets temperatures on average are quite cold. The northern regions temperatures are between -40🜘 & -90🜘, while in the more southern regions you can find a more mild 5🜘 To 15🜘.

Maotet has the same four seasons as the rest of Acherion; Stormfall (Autumn), Frostrich (Winter), Lightrise (Spring), and Sunpeak (Summer). Unlike the rest of the world however, there is less change
