Aekershaan (concept)
Biozone: Aekershaan
Aekershaan is the name for the crater west of the Gulf of Rinah. The region is well known for the drastic contrasts in ecology as the elevation changes. Its upper reaches consist of scattered scrubland beneath the sand blasted mountains that surround the crater. As one travels downward, the scrub gives way to arid grasslands and scattered, solitary trees. The lowest elevations are where the majority of the region's farmland is, as well mixed tropical cloud forests, due to the rich soil quality.
While the fauna of the region can vary wildly due to the contrasting climates, Mezzarb goats are known to live throughout Aekershaan, and are commonly used as mounts and pack animals in all three layers of the crater.
We set out into the wilderness of
temporary hunt biozone, excited for the hunt ahead of us. After weeks of handling the boring minutae of organizing the hunt itself, as well as details such as supplies and transport, we are finally in nature and at peace.
Now all that is left to do is actually pick our quarry. It will take a few hours to reach a spot far enough from civilization as to be worth screening for trails, but a pleasant walk in the great outdoors will surely serve as a good warm up to the hunt itself.
