Kepyran Basin (concept)
Biozone: Kepyran Basin
The Kepyran Basin is primarily known for its bountiful crops, pristine lakes, and gorgeous vistas. While much of the region remains heavily forested with sugar pine and black oak close to the mountains, as well as trails of redwood that have moved from the coasts, the long grass prairies nearer the crystal clear lake waters are some of the most fertile fields on the Shattered Coast. Much of the beaches are as well, with many types of watercresses found only along the Sulzegg lake shores. The most common fauna are often beavers, and many locals claim the longest-running war in Aeras is that between the beavers and settlements attempting to remove their dams throughout the region's watershed.
We've climbed atop a jagged outcropping that overlooks the Kepyran Basin, and breathe in the crisp, cool air. It's near impossible to not feel relaxed looking out into the swaying forests and fields as a gentle breeze gusts past. The green in the leaves, and the blue in the water, seems sharper than I've seen before, and the fauna more at peace. Scattered farms and settlements stick out across the basin like minor landmarks, and we set out on our hunt with excitement fresh in our hearts.
