This page has the full breakdown and listing of the currently known Regions and Environments of the Clan Taldryan moon of Kasiya for use within roleplaying sessions. While there may not be much information at first, as sessions progress and more is learned (names of towns, names of forests, unique creatures and locations, and information about each of these as the sessions progress.) this page will consistently grow.

Kasiya Moon

Karufr Lowlands

Port Kasiya (Capital City)

• See Port_Kasiya With streets that smell faintly of brimstone and staffed by borderline psychopaths, there are even rumors that The Playground itself is haunted. Plenty of patrons report memory loss after leaving the establishment.

Little Ostara (Village)

Located in the northern area of the Karufr Lowlands, directly south of the Faerin Forest.

Faerin Forest

Located in the northern area of the Karufr Lowlands, above Little Ostara. At its far north is a river mouth that leads into the lower sections of the Arreat Mountain Ice Fields.

Ektrosis Bay

The bay that serves as the southern barrier of Port Kasiya, is largely unexplored.

Marid Plains

Western Red Hills

When the flowers bloom in the springtime, a unique scent spreads throughout the Western Red Hills. Large swathes of Black Pepper plants have spread across the region like a weed, filling gaps between trees with their dense foliage and preventing other small flora from thriving. On especially windy days, the somewhat abrasive odor can spread many regions over, forcing citizens to flee indoors or succumb to a coughing and sneezing attack.

Western Red Hills were rumored to have a phenomenon. This phenomenon is often referred to as ‘Bralinsi’s Lullaby’ by the locals; Bralinsi was known long ago as one of the most famous singers. The waves and multicolor made some locals feel as though it was a gentle song. The oral history over time to who or what Bralinsi was lost, all is known is that their vocals were so gentle and harmonic that it soothed the soul. Some theorize that they were a Force user that used the Force to manipulate people to feel calm. Another theory was that they were a creature that lulled others to their death with their cries.

When visiting the Western Red Hills, keep a look out for the Red Breasted War Warbaler; a small but fierce bird that could easily be held in the hand of most sentient species, yet acts so aggressively in packs of fifteen to twenty that they can easily overwhelm most humanoids with their sharp beaks and piercing screeches. They're highly territorial and when they scream their easily identifiable war cry, a plume of pink and yellow feathers stands up along their head and neck. Their numbers have dwindled in recent years as nearby ranchers have set about destroying their populations to protect themselves and their livestock, an act that has Kasiyan Environmentalists up in arms, decrying the mass slaughter of these adorable yet dangerous little birds.

Forceless Forest

Close examination of the local flora will reveal the telltale signs of ‘Skadyi’s Kiss’, a parasitic plant that hijacks the root systems of others. White spots appear as the color drains from the plant, eventually leaving it completely as a vessel for Skadyi’s Kiss, which will then spread from that point out further. Insects are drawn to the contrasting whiteness and fall victim to the Kiss as well.

Lurking beneath the waters at the edge of the Forceless Forest is the Silanti, a ghastly white creature that blends well with Skadyi’s Kiss. Their skin is a rough leather that helps them move quietly underwater, this combined with their low core temperatures and large nostrils(for silent breathing) make them nearly undetectable when hiding, even with advanced methods. Hypersensitive nerve fibers in Silanti horns alert them to the slightest danger.

Arreat Mountains

Dotting the landscape of the Arreat Mountains are Dei’moon plants, a small shrubbery that will spread across large spans of ground, with crevice-seeking tendrils. Once it has located a suitable spot for water, wind protection, and shaded sun exposure, the plant will grow there for a number of years until a short, spiky shrub forms and exhausts its space. When this happens, another vine will venture forth. Once a shrub is half-way grown, the vine can be broken; however, adventurers will often be careful to not break any lone vines strewn across the mountain, just in case. These shrubs produce tiny berries twice a year, they are edible and arguably delicious. Birds and insects will often be found eating them.

Due to the extreme conditions across much of the mountain range, there are vast expanses that go unmonitored for weeks or months. Some intelligence reports indicate that illicit drug manufacturers have taken advantage of these lapses in surveillance and set up operations at various locations hidden within the range. One should be cautious when approaching one of these “farms”, as there likely be significant security present.

Arreat Crater

If you're extremely lucky, you may come across a rare feline species with a body full of scales ranging in colors of ashen black to smokey grey. Named Magmili, this species was thought to be extinct, killed off for their scales that help protect them from the magma. After the Cloudhaven Defense Platform fell, a hidden subspecies emerged from the depths of the crater. Their glands produce a slime that provides a protective layer on their scales from the melting heat. Their paws are rather large in proportion to their body for fast climbing and their long tail helps balance them as they can be seen walking and hopping on magma, solid rocks, and even steep cliff faces. They can swim in the magma but only for a short time, as the heat wears off the protective slime on the scales. Their eyes are onyx with reflective membrane to protect them from the heat and the brightness of the magma, with the benefit of not limiting their sight in dark environments.

Another animal venturing out of the crater were Magma Skippers. Similar to the common mud skipper, these small creatures move along the surface of magma flows.  They eat fungus, bacteria, and small insects that typically manage to grow in the high temperature environments, staying close to the heat zone and preying on any top-side bugs that dare approach the edge. They are very strong swimmers, lending to being able to jump powerfully on hard ground; however, their high internal temperature means they cannot go far from the magma flows without risking hypothermia.
