The Forgotten Dramatic Land

Each of the continents of Fels seem to have characteristics all of their own. Unlike the continents of Earth, which all seem to share geological and geographic features, the Felsian landmases are reasonably unique insofar as topography goes.

From the rolling country and gentle hills of the Three Rivers, the endless morasses and swamps of vast Tronapt, the rocky arid expanse of Tamarudhe to the featureless desert sands and steppes of Merhupneo, each of the continents has a distinguishing personality, so to speak. Marnopyre is no different.

It possibly could be construed as a combination of Tamarudhe's mountains and the Three River's lushness. The Shuganidz originally classified Marnopyre as a continent as it resides on its own tectonic plate. In size, it is only 13% larger than Gutosjander, which was considered an island due to it being part of the Tronapt tectonic system.

Marnopyre, like Gutosjander is a northern landmass. Unlike that land's endless flat expanses of ice and tundra, Marnopyre is a land of dramatic relief. It boasts Fels' highest mountain at 11,272 metres, an unnamed peak in the southern highlands, the planet's deepests ravines, canyons and gorges.

Magnificent coniferous forests cover most of what lowland there is, and alpine meadows, tarns and waterfalls abound. The continent is wholly pristine. The Shuganidz did not settle here, naming the land a botanical preserve, and to this day, there are no humans there. It'd be an altogether forgotten realm if not for the fact that the Three Rivers eastern sea is named after it. Few living in the Three Rivers could tell you what Marnopyre was.

Climactically, it is a cool and moist land, constantly fed rains and snows from the swirling ocean currents which surround it. The northern extremity of the continent lies inside Fels' Arctic Circle. If photography existed in this magical age, it'd be a mecca for tourists from all climes, with its beauty and wonderful untouched scenery.
