RekishoFrom the frozen reaches of the Onya Tundra to the southern expanse of the Narozi Marshland, Rekisho is awash in biomes as diverse as the people that call it home. The region is comprised of a large mainland, a smaller landmass to the east, and a collection of islands that line the coasts. While no countries exist in Rekisho, political boundaries have been drawn between the five clans that inhabit its lands. Roads in the region are rudimentary in design, with few crossing territorial boundaries. Common modes of travel include the use of caravans, wagons, and Pokémon mounts. Seafaring is performed largely by ships, but there are those who have secured the aid of Pokémon in their endeavors. Electricity does not exist in Rekisho as an energy form; thus, there are no electric lightbulbs or gadgets. Instead, humans rely on fire to illuminate the chasm of night.
Northern Rekisho is known for its harsh, frigid environment, dense conifer forests, and towering mountains. The western portion of the region is collectively referred to as the Onya Tundra, while the eastern region is called the Eastern Wastes. Pokémon and humans inhabiting this expanse of wilderness have acclimated to low temperatures, limited precipitation, and seasons of prolonged daylight.
Common Pokémon:
Cavrock Forest
The largest forest in the Onya Tundra is Cavrock Forest. Spanning from the cost of the Gulf of Gimnet to the tip of the Pass of Armak, this dense collection of trees is said to have sections where the earth hasn't seen sunlight for centuries. Unlike the forests that litter the more temperate of Rekisho's climates, Cavrock Forest has minimal undergrowth. For those unaccustomed to the terrain, a journey into the forest's depths may be their last.
Common Pokémon:
Pass of Armak
The Onya Tundra is separated from the Eastern Wastes and Central Rekisho by a chain of mountains collectively referred to as the Graterre Rise. In the northern most expanse of this mountain range the cliffs meet a narrow valley that leads to the expanse of the Onya Tundra. This section of the Graterre Rise is known as the Pass of Armak. This natural formation is heralded as an entry way to the north by many.
Common Pokémon:
Onyota Villages
The Onyota move with the seasons. As such, their villages are not built from permanent structures; instead, they take the form of yurts built around a centralized fire pit. Onyota villages are often comprised of kin and family units, though some groups have been known to travel together.
Western Rekisho is a region of temperate climates where forests, valleys, and mountains blend together. The Graterre Rise is the main border of the territory, separating it from from Northern, Central, and Southern Rekisho. So too does the mountain range feed into Western Rekisho's unique environment. The people who live here enjoy a humid summer, mild winters, and even precipitation levels year round.
Common Pokémon:
Tengyuan Pass
Tengyuan Pass is known as the home of dragons. This collection of towering stone spires and shallow lakes sits at the base of the Graterre Rise's western border and north of Hongwai Forest, where it serves as one of Western Rekisho's most defining landscapes. Do not be distracted by Tengyuan's beauty; if the landscape does not take a bite out of you, the native Pokémon certainly will.
Common Pokémon:
Hongwai Forest
Hongwai Forest is the largest woodland in Western Rekisho, covering nearly half of the territory's landmass. The shinobi villages of the Akimoto Clan that call this forest home are not fond of outsiders, and most travelers are advised against venturing into Hongwai Forest's depths. Despite its outward beauty, these woods are known for their abundance of poison type Pokémon.
Common Pokémon:
Tuwarakita
Tuwarakita, the largest city in Western Rekisho, is home to the Akimoto's Clan Head. It is situated south of Hongwai Forest and supports of history of steelwork and swordsmithing. The buildings within the city feature a distinct pagoda style paired with wide streets.
Central Rekisho's arid climate is formed on behalf of the Graterre Pass and its eastern rain shadow. While some forests exist in this region, the trees that create them are scrawnier than their counterparts elsewhere in Rekisho. Indeed, most of Central Rekisho is split between the Sumptre Prairie and the Burirat Desert. Traversing this region is a test of endurance and mental fortitude. Most points of civilization exist where water is plentiful.
Common Pokémon:
Sumptre Prairie
The majority of Central Rekisho is an arid grassland known as the Sumptre Prairie. This stretch of land is marked by tall wild grasses, rolling hills, and narrow rivers. It stretches from the southern most ridge of the Graterre Rise to the mountains that form the northern border of the Narozi Marshlands.
Common Pokémon:
Burirat Desert
The Burirat Desert is a mix of shifting dunes, ancient ruins, and sparse oases. It is bordered on the west by the Sumptre Prairie while its eastern border lies at the Pontilla Straight.
Common Pokémon:
Surak
Surak, the city of scholars, is Central Rekisho's largest city. It is situated on the Pontilla Straight and feature stucco buildings and large open-air bazaars.
The large island to the east of Rekisho's mainland is referred to as Eastern Rekisho. It is a landscape of steep cliffs, grassy plains, and small forests. Like the people who call it home, Eastern Rekisho is subjective to the whims of the ocean.
Common Pokémon:
Bay of Charrac
The Bay of Charrac carves into the southern portion of Eastern Rekisho. Its rounded shape creates calm inlets ideal for docking ships, though inexperienced sailors need to be warry of the stone spires that hug the shore. A coastline of white sand meets sheer cliffs the further onshore one travels.
Common Pokémon:
Alrade
Alrade, the pride of the Herran, is a seaside cit built onto the cliffs of the Bay of Charrac. It features stone buildings and the largest harbor in all of Rekisho.
Southern Rekisho begins at the border of the Suptre Praire and the Algan Mountains. It features a tropical climate marked by rich humidity and large plant life. The vast portion of the region is known collectively as the Narozi Marshalnd, and those who have lived here their whole life have never seen snow.
Common Pokémon:
Narozi Marshland
The Narozi Marshland is a vast wetland of herbaceous plants and towering trees that stretches across Southern Rekisho. Lakes and streams carve through its undergrowth, dampening the earth and making travel by foot an arduous and messy task.
Common Pokémon:
A'anin Villages
The A'anin do not live in grand cities; instead, they live amidst the Narozi Marshland in wooden villages. Many of these villages dot the marsh, and the A'anin have trained messengers that run information between them.
