 The migratory ungulate herds, because they are unable to survive in the winter, migrate north with the thaw and continue their migratory route as far north as it will allow, and consume all plant life that grows there and blooms from being pushed out by the thaw. The animals give birth nearly instantly upon returning to the plains in spring and the young can then grow up extraordinarily quickly in time for winter; if an animal doesn't reach reproductive maturity in spring it's considered a loss and doesn't get bred. This extreme eating throughout the year is termed "hyperphagia", a state of extremely voracious eating behavior that can only be achieved through hormanal control.

	'''Tundra Fauna (migratory and plains species)'''		'''Tundra Fauna (migratory and plains species)'''

	~~Animal life in the~~ Agaro Lush Tundra ~~is dictated~~ by ~~hypermobility and the violent pendulum~~ of the ~~subpolar seasons~~. ~~While distinctively~~ removed from the ~~intensely~~ localized ~~and~~ vertical ~~habitat~~ isolation of the Aer Canyon Pit, Agaro is ~~instead the landscape~~ of ~~great~~, ~~sweeping migrations; the open~~ plains are ~~teeming with~~ huge, cold~~-adapted grazing ungulates, hotly pursued~~ by ~~opportunistic~~ scavengers ~~and~~ opportunistic ~~apex~~ predators.		Fauna of Agaro Lush Tundra can be seen divided by whether they migrate seasonally to inhabit it or else they are permanent inhabitants of the Agaro plains. Although significantly removed from the hyper-localized vertical isolation found in the Aer Canyon Pit, Agaro is essentially a region of large, sprawling migratory routes. It is in this plains that many ungulate grazers live – in large herds that are huge and adapted for cold – they are followed very closely by numerous scavengers, as well as opportunistic predators.
			These grazers, due to the windy, cold environment and boggy, unstable ground have adapted to having extremely warm, insulative double-coats of fur and huge reserves of subcutaneous fat. Their hooves are often of huge proportions and fanned out very far so as to create much greater contact with the peat in which they walk as a broad "snow-shoe" so as to travel easily across the landscape regardless of whether there is snow on the peat or else just peat itself. Since there is nowhere to shelter in the plains on their own there must be numerous chase hunters. These are cursiorial running endurance-hunters whose speed, endurance and pack tactics allows them to take down larger grazers by wearing them out.
	~~To endure~~ the ~~freezing winds~~ and unstable, ~~boggy terrain, these grazers typically develop highly insulating~~ double-coats and ~~store large~~ reserves of subcutaneous fat~~; their enormous, widely-splayed~~ hooves ~~double~~ as broad ~~snowshoes~~ across the peat~~, supporting them over bog and snow~~. ~~With no physical terrain cover~~ on ~~the endless flat, predators~~ are ~~obligate pursuit~~ hunters~~: cursorial~~ endurance~~-runners that use bothpack~~ tactics ~~and a profound ability~~ to ~~track their moving prey across the endless, low-lying lands,~~ wearing it out ~~before catching it~~.

	'''Wetland Fauna (muskeg and peat-basin species)'''		'''Wetland Fauna (muskeg and peat-basin species)'''
			These very marshy, bogy areas (muskeg) flood with great abundance and intensity when the summer ice melts off, causing massive amounts of water to flood through the holes in the peatlands. In the summertime, these wetlands bring in numerous grazing animals in form similar to waterfowl and numerous different types of insects that eat all these new forms of plants, and which are also eaten by hundreds of these somewhat amphibious ungulates. These wetland dwellers have had to adapt with physical features that facilitate existence in this flooded area. The typical creatures dwelling here have hydrophilic, or water-repelling, fur. These grazers can often be seen to partiallywebbedfeet, and their bodies are generally extremely buoyant so that they are able to travel easily through relatively shallow water. Theshallow, peat-basin lakes and marshes of Agaro become large nurseries for nearly all of the migratory life in Agaro-all these creatures and their young race to reproduce in this time frame so that young can be produced and can hatch, be nursed, and then either reproduce again in the summertime (and be a successful reproductive organism) or then get fat enough to be able to migrate south. Under the water, huge bottom-feeding detritivores are eating all this exploding organic matter, breaking it down with the peat in the rapid cycle before the returning cold can kill them.
	~~The extensive~~ muskeg ~~(peat-bogs~~) and ~~melt-water basins explode with intense biological activity~~ when the summer ~~thaw ruptures~~ the ~~surface ice and pools up~~ in the ~~hollows of~~ the ~~peatland. The ensuing floods invite~~ in ~~massive populations~~ of ~~migratory, waterfowl-like grazers~~, and ~~their corresponding insect populations bloom in unimaginable swarms and~~ are ~~fed upon~~ by ~~masses~~ of these ~~semi-aquatic~~ ungulates.

	~~Inhabitants of the~~ flooded ~~peatlands typically possess specialized physical adaptations: their fur is often hydrophobic (~~water-~~repellent)~~, ~~their limbs may~~ be ~~partiallywebbed~~, and their bodies are ~~naturally~~ extremely buoyant~~, allowing them~~ to ~~maneuver with ease~~ through shallow~~, boggy~~ water. ~~The shallow~~ peat-basin lakes and marshes ~~are massive, seasonal~~ nurseries for nearly the ~~entirety of Agaro's~~ migratory life, all ~~scrambling~~ to ~~spawn~~ and ~~nest~~. ~~Beneath~~ the water~~'s surface~~, huge ~~benthic detritivore communities~~ are ~~consuming~~ all ~~the~~ exploding ~~seasonal~~ organic ~~material~~, ~~fast~~ breaking it down ~~within~~ the ~~highly acidic~~ peat, before the returning ~~frost~~ can ~~reclaim its hold~~.

	'''Boreal Ridge Fauna (taiga and refuge species)'''		'''Boreal Ridge Fauna (taiga and refuge species)'''

	~~Emerging from the flooded bogs in discrete, separate islands and outcrops on the rocky ridges are the~~ pockets of Agaro taiga (boreal forest), each a uniquely ~~localized biome with a distinct community~~. ~~Immune from the worst of~~ the polar gales, the ~~subarctic woodland contains arboreal~~ climbers,Opportunistic-Opportunistic scavengers ~~and cold-adapted ambush predators~~ of ~~these smaller, insulated woodlands. While~~ the ~~open-plain herds are nomadic migrants to be dispersed by weather and predation,many~~ ridge-dwellers are year-round ~~inhabitants~~ of ~~the forests~~.		The pockets of Agaro taiga (boreal forest), located upon the rocky outcroppings on separate islands amidst the otherwise boggy lands of the area, contain each uniquely isolated, contained biomes. These subarctic woodlands escape the polar gales due to the more elevated nature of their existence. While these forests may contain such things as climbers and ambush predators which rely on smaller animal prey and Opportunistic-Opportunistic scavengers, most of the ridge dwellers are year-round residents of their forest pockets. These fauna are often unable to escape being crushed and killed in their cold environments through movement like migration; instead they must learn to find and store vast amounts of food for the cold periods, or by creating a cache of fat for warmth. Alternatively, they must take advantage of the sub-nivean zone-the layer of the ground where it remains warm under thick snow cover-and so use burrows dug into the ground which are often inhabited by very cold-adapted creatures. The forests on the ridges also act as barriers against the extremely fierce polar gales that would otherwise destroy inhabitants less capable of evading them; it is necessary for species not adapted for movement through extreme weather to hide from the wind and the accompanying storms.

	These fauna ~~avoid~~ being crushed and killed by their ~~habitat's~~ cold, ~~extreme environment~~ by ~~caching abundant foods~~, ~~storing their own fatty reserves, or through exploiting~~ the sub-nivean zone-the ~~gap created by~~ the ~~deep winter snowcover~~ and the ~~frozen earth's~~ ground~~; this network of air~~-~~filled tunnels acts as insulated refuge for these smaller, less mobile~~ creatures ~~during~~ the ~~long winters. These woodlands~~ also ~~function~~ as ~~a key ecological bulwark~~ against the ~~creeping severity of the~~ polar gales; ~~those~~ species ~~unable~~ to ~~quickly out-maneuver the storms must be able to seek refuge within~~ the ~~woody cover~~ and the ~~under-snow environments offered by the taiga on the ridges~~.

	'''Behavioral Cycles (nomadism and seasonal hyperphagia)'''		'''Behavioral Cycles (nomadism and seasonal hyperphagia)'''

	~~Survival~~ in ~~the~~ Agaro is ~~determined solely by the brutal cycle of freezing and thawing~~. ~~Long stretches~~ of polar winter ~~forced all species able~~ to ~~tolerate it (but not~~ live ~~within it)~~ to ~~undergo harsh southern migrations~~, ~~while incapable fauna enter varying states~~ of torpor or ~~true~~ hibernation~~, suspending their~~ bodily functions ~~within their burrows and nests to survive the months of dark cold~~. ~~Conversely~~, ~~upon~~ the ~~melting of its snow~~ and ~~ice-cover the northern lands explode with life~~.		This cycle of survival in Agaro has a purely elemental explanation-it is all based on whether it is winter or summer. A long spell of polar winter caused many of the Agaro-bound creatures to migrate south in order to live through the frigid months; in the winter, unable to survive the cold on the plains, some of the non-migratory creatures were able to go into a state of true torpor or even hibernation in which all bodily functions were suspended. The winter season continued until its eventual melting, after which the entire region was once again allowed to flourish and blossom.
			The migratory ungulate herds, because they are unable to survive in the winter, migrate north with the thaw and continue their migratory route as far north as it will allow, and consume all plant life that grows there and blooms from being pushed out by the thaw. The animals give birth nearly instantly upon returning to the plains in spring and the young can then grow up extraordinarily quickly in time for winter; if an animal doesn't reach reproductive maturity in spring it's considered a loss and doesn't get bred. This extreme eating throughout the year is termed "hyperphagia", a state of extremely voracious eating behavior that can only be achieved through hormanal control.
	~~Driven by seasonal hyperphagia, a voracious and hormonally driven hunger, those~~ migratory herds ~~that traveled south~~ to ~~escape~~ the ~~cold gorge themselves on every emerging bud~~, ~~leaf~~, and ~~sprout~~ that ~~pushes through~~ the ~~newly softened earth~~; ~~birthing~~ is ~~timed almost instantaneously with arrival~~, ~~and young are capable~~ of ~~maturing with extraordinary speed~~.

	Flora Canopy Flora (Boreal Evergreens and Old-Growth Taiga)		Flora Canopy Flora (Boreal Evergreens and Old-Growth Taiga)

	Plant life in the An Thierry Brumal Forest is characterized by an extremely harsh environment and agonizingly slow biological processes. Unlike the desiccated, wind-whipped terrain of Aightu or the vibrantly seasonal flora of Agaro, An Thierry's flora has evolved for nothing more than sheer endurance under one of the most brutally adverse forest climates in the Twilight Age. The highlands and glacial valleys are completely shaded by a vast, ancient canopy of old-growth evergreen conifer trees. These ancient titans survive not by being agile, but by being tough. The An Thierry have slender, needle-like foliage that has been armored with thick, waxy cuticles to prevent both winter desiccation and sub-freezing winds. Their body plan is rigid and conifer-like, with steeply sloping branches that have a slight spring to them to shed heavy, deadly snowfalls. Since the permanently frozen sub-soil prevents development of deep root systems, these ancient conifers have relied on an incredibly wide, interwoven mat of lateral roots which bind the waterlogged floor and prevent the titanic tree from being felled by powerful winter gales.

	Understory Vegetation (Cryptogamic and Fungal Networks)		Understory Vegetation (Cryptogamic and Fungal Networks)

	Below the overwhelming canopy the forest floor is perpetually cold, dark and damp. Direct sunlight rarely reaches it, making normal photosynethsis quite rare. Instead, plants of the An Thierry understory consist primarily of highly shade tolerant shrubs, thick, spreading colonies of lichen and extremely dense beds of cryptogamic plants (plants that reproduce via spores), such as mosses. However, the truly most important biological organisms in the An Thierry environment are underground. Gigantic mycorrhizal networks of fungi extend deep into thefrozen peat below, serving the function of the An Thierry ecosystem's circulatory system. Connecting younger, immature canopy giants to their ancient ancestors, these fungal webs permit transfer of stored nutrients to where they are needed and are the driving force ofdecomposition in this extremely cold region. During the brief summer thaw, temporarily light-struck patches created by falling trees, or particularly massive avalanches, will blossom for a few weeks with flowering plants before the canopy, inching across it, smothers everything in darkness once more.

	Riparian and Bog Flora (Muskeg and Wetland Woodlands)		Riparian and Bog Flora (Muskeg and Wetland Woodlands)

	The winding, glacial rivers and deep, extensive peat bogs that dot the An Thierry landmass feature entirely distinct sub-ecosystems. These wetland woodland regions-where the bogs are also called muskegs-are characterized by sedges, water-loving shrubs, and extensive reed beds thriving under seasonal flooding and water saturation. Many bog-dwelling plants have evolved special spongy root systems, or shallow spreading networks of them, to draw oxygen from the surface into the anaerobic mud where they reside. The oldest, deepest bogs in the An Thierry region also contain vast floating expanses of sphagnum moss that expand outwards across open meltwater, forming a deceptive, unstable biological surface that could potentially crush an unprepared traveler or beast. The rivers' riparian corridors are the only places where breaks appear in the overwhelming canopy, and thus represent the only zones in the An Thierry landscape that support fast, vigorous, and more or less normal plant growth on a seasonal basis.

	The fauna within the Anierry Brumal Forest represents a feat of extreme cold adaptation and deep-woodland survival. Unlike the vast, nomadic wanderers of the Aightu Rockland, the fauna of Anierry remains inextricably bound to the protection of ancient timber. Dense arboreal omnivores,cold-adapted browsing herbivores, and highly insulative apex predators flourish in the coverage afforded by the pervasive evergreen canopy and the elevated ridges.

	Each species utilizes thick, multilayered pelts, large stores of subcutaneous fat, and compact body shapes to precisely minimize heat loss. The ability to traverse the deep snowdrifts and treacherous frost-heaved roots of the Brumal requires specific physical traits-broad, splayed paws spread weight and act as natural snowshoes for the enormous herbivores and predators, as well as specialized leg morphology for increased reach across treacherous terrain. Predators are obligate ambush hunters, as there is simply not enough space in the suffocating timber for prolonged pursuit. These hunters use the dim light caused by freezing fog and deep woodland to track their prey along narrow, iced game trails.

	The waterlogged, perpetually shadowed understory and deep bogs support a highly specialized world of moisture-adapted scavengers, semi-aquatic animals, and burrowing detritivores. The lack of visual stimulation requires animals with exceptionally water-repellent fur and vibrissae for detecting motion. It is common for the smaller understory animals to dig complex burrows into the surrounding logs, root structures, and mounds of insulating moss, in which to create climate-controlled dens against the raging polar storms.

	During the short thaw, an explosion of massive swarms of biting insects and various detritivores are the primary recycling engines of the taiga, thoroughly decomposing any accumulated matter before the inevitable cold locks them out. At the onset of the storm season, many of these understory animals enter a truly deep hibernation beneath the subnivean-which is a protected area of airspace between the frozen earth and the deep snow layer above.

	The winding, glacial rivers and kettle lakes serve as arteries for the Brumal Forest, the highest concentrations of fauna in the region can be found in these riparian corridors which offer access to water for aquatic predators, migrating herbivores, and enormous flocks of waterfowl in the warmer months. These corridors become chaotic, hyper-active feeding grounds during the thaw. This behavior completely inverts itself when the blizzards descend; when the lake and river beds have frozen to depths of meters, all life retreats into the deeper trenches and groundwater-fed channels which do not freeze, the ice provides a unimpeded surface highway over the impossibly deep snowdrifts and tangled undergrowth.

	Animal activity in the Anierry Brumal Forest is entirely driven by the immense gravity of the long polar night and the crippling depth of the snowpack. Creatures must conserve energy at all costs. Any creature active year-round is capable of intensive food-caching behaviors and highly specialized anatomical features designed to keep in heat. Animals unable to sustain their metabolic rate over the winter months hibernate, essentially turning themselves off for several months. Spring thaw brings an immediate and violent biological imperative, as it bursts through the ice on the rivers and streams, releasing countless life processes in one frenzied rush to breed and feed before the darkness and the cold fall again.
