I’ve already spoken a little about the make up of this New Earth. There are six continents:
Anilex is a North American-type of continent. Sprawling and rich with mainly coniferous vegetation, Anilex is the location of the main human population, and as such has a central dirt road that runs its length vertically. The road follows a large river as well. The main forests of Anilex are coniferous pine and fir trees. The southern forests are more deciduous, with leaves that fall before winter. Where there are no dense trees, the majority of the ground is covered in grass. Prairie grass down south, thicker meadow grass in the north. Deep in the heart of forests grow thorny brambles that impede a lot of civilized movement. The single chain of mountains on Anilex are very tall, and are year-round covered in snow. Only on the hottest of years does the snow melt. On the west side of the mountains is arid desert, and on the east thick and lush meadows/forest.
Tyrus is similar to Anilex except for it has a centralized mountain almost spot in the middle of the continent. Forested densely with thick undergrowth, Tyrus is a wild land that is uninhabited. The rivers and streams run ice cold in the north and slightly warmer in the south. They originate mainly from the central mountain. The coasts are laden with large, sea-smoothed boulders and powdery sand. The treeline ceases where the sand meets the soil, and the trees become little bushes. Near the mountain on the southeastern side are marshes, and the trees there are bereft of much foliage. The grassy areas are similar to Anilex in that they are made up of orchard grass.
Alaba is near the equator, reminiscent of Africa. Mainly savannah, Alaba is mainly populated by Mecha. A series of rivers connect the various portions of the continent and allow the ‘native’ centaurian mecha to travel. The animals on Alaba have only grown in size and are very similar to their Old Earth counterparts. Near the southern edge of Alaba is an intricate delta of rivers. There are small mountain clusters in Alaba, made up of the leftover Old Earth mountainous formations. Humid near the coasts and dry-hot in the interior, life on Alaba is difficult for the Mecha that live there.
Deimari is covered completely in Japanese Fir trees and other coniferous vegetation. Cool and crisp, this continent does not experience the hottest of summers, or the bitterest of winters. Rainfall is three inches+ daily, with longer periods of rain during the monsoon season. It is unknown who or what exactly lives on Deimari, as it is mostly unexplored by the humans and Mecha. The coastlines are rocky and unfriendly, making sea voyages to and from Deimari difficult. Most of the forest floor is covered with lichens and mossy ground cover. The rainfall is heavily affected by the warm tropical currents along the equator, which heat the ocean and send humid ocean water into the atmosphere, which then almost immediately rains down upon Deimari.
Zirve - Cold and remote. Covered in glaciers and thick ice sheets, Zirve serves as the North Pole of New Earth. A huge crevasse splits the continent, reaching almost to the Earth’s mantle.
Akos - Also cold and remote. Covered in MORE glaciers and thick ice sheets, Akos serves as the South Pole of New Earth. Somehow (unknown yet) there is a tropical place located under the ice (like in Journey to the Center of the Earth).
