Geography

The Garrdenddel Jade Cliffs stand high above sea level and are the most elevated piece of land on the North East corner of Tarel. Land to the East of the Cliffs slopes downwards, and all the rainwater flows with it. This created the Flooded Forest, to the East. To the South is the Isbelbur Autumnal Mountains Ridge, which also gets a fair share of water from the heightened elevation of the Jade Cliffs. Because of the height of the Isbelbur Autumnal Mountains Ridge, the land is never flooded but is encapsulated in a thick layer of orange and green moss, which is how it got its name (Autumnal).

The land of the Cliffs is relatively flat, angled downward toward the East and South. The constant rain makes the land fertile and lush. Green grass covers the majority of the cliffs. Ponds, brooks, and lakes also decorate the flat land of the Jade Cliffs. Because they are deep in the sentiment of the cliffs, the water on the entirety of the Cliffs also appears a green color. The water is unsafe for drinking, but luckily, enough rainwater comes down to make the area habitable for wildlife and the Oughlyesam Kin’toni Clan. Freshwater comes down from the four waterfalls of the Garrdenddell Jade Cliffs on dry days.

Each waterfall, just a few kilometers from the next on the highest elevated part of the area in the North West, is named after a prominent member of the Oughlyesam Kin’toni Clan. The Garrdenddel Jade Cliffs are easily recognized from the sea and distinguishable from others because of their Jade Green color. From a distance, it’s said that the cliffs look like a Jade Crystal Prism, a relic of ancient times meaning luck and fortune. Though not made of pure Jade, the composition of the rocks has a similar makeup to the Jade Crystal.

Sediment from this type of rock isn’t safe for consumption by kin’toni, but the animals of the area have adapted and can drink the water without repercussions. The water surrounding the Cliffs on the west is also a bright green due to the sediment of the water. The water is so thick with sediment that it’s impossible to see through to the ground. Because of the rocks, the water directly surrounding the cliffs is also notable thicker than clear water. The lower part of the cliffs is covered in a thick, green moss, that gives the cliffs the appearance of being ombre in color.

Plants

Because of the extended rainy season on the cliffs, there are many flora and fauna exclusive to this area. The plants and vegetation in this region require a large amount of water to thrive and don’t do well with extended periods of direct sunlight. Because of these requirements, they are rarely found in other regions. The entire region is completely covered with different vegetation, and finding barren land is rare. The fauna of this region is distinguishable because of the thick, waxy petals on it. Many ferns, vines, and shrubbery exist in this region.

Animals of the region have adapted to having sharper teeth and more salvation to break down the thick wavy petals. There are four distinct flowers associated with the Jade Cliffs region, and each is a complimentary color. Wundrua flowers grow to be three feet tall and have soft, velvety, deep blue petals. The petals cannot be consumed, but the seeds growing within the disk are popular food for the birds of the Cliff. The Sagah flower is a deep shade of green, and it’s petals are thin and sweet. Most Sagah flowers only have four petals, but maybe believe finding five or a six-petaled Sagah is good luck because they are sweeter than the standard Sagah.

The ligh flower is a light blue flower that has closed petals throughout the day and opens its petals up to the moonlight. This flower’s nectar may be consumed only when the petals are open. When the petals are closed, the nectar tastes bitter and can cause an allergic reaction. Fren plants are a jade green color, delicate, and usually grow on a vine. Their petals are used for decoration but can not be consumed. There are two species of tree found in this region, both notable for their wide width and impressive height. Both trees also have thick, hardened roots in order to take up the massive amounts of water in the soil.

These trees are called the oam and aomo. Both of the same species, the main difference is the roots. Oam trees display their roots on the tops of the ground, and these roots can spread for long distances in intricate patterns of lapping and overlapping bark. The aomo has its roots underground. Neither tree grow any fruit. A third tree found in the region is the cardina tree. With the frequent heavy rain fall, it is difficult for the Cardina tree to grow into its mature state. Once it does, though, it grows bountiful amounts of the Cardina Fruit, which is a bright blue spherical fruit with star-shaped seeds.

The Clan has many times attempted to grow cardina tree’s, but they are high maintenance and require almost constant attention to ensure the frail branches of the tree in its immature state aren’t broken by the wind or rain. Originally, only four cardina tree’s existed in the region. With the help of the Oughlyesam Kin'toni Clan, this number has nearly quadrupled. Cardina trees bear fruit year-round. Blu'je, a starchy, green vegetable, can be found at the bottom of ponds and brooks in the region. Blu'je grow at the bottom of bodies of water with the moss, micro bacteria, and sediment creating it’s growing environment.

Blu'je isn’t very tasteful, but contains many nutrients and is the preferred food of omnivorous animals in the Region. Rubon berries, the rarest of all fruits, can be found on the Jade Cliffs. Rubon berries grow on the edge of the cliffs when shaded by rock or sediment from above. The shade of a separate rock or cliff ensures that the Rubon is only misted with water rather than directly pelted with raindrops. Rubon only grow nine to ten berry per year. Rubon are red, small, and sweet. There are also false rubon that grow from similar bushes, but on land.

False Rubon look, smell, and taste like rubon, but are poisonous. All animals of the region know to avoid false rubon.

Animals

Few animals live on the Jade Cliffs, as they are difficult to migrate to and from, and few animals are able to handle the harsh weather conditions. Of the animals able to live in the Jade Cliffs, most are birds. More than two hundred species of bird live on the Jade Cliffs. These birds range from colors of light blues and greens to deep, royal blues and forest moss green. The birds perch and nest into the divots of cliffs. The most notable of the species are the galo bird, socvler bird, and capa bird. The Galo bird lays bright pink eggs. Socvler birds are notorious for taking shiny things.

Capa birds sing noises relatively similar to noises they hear clans people make. Two species of rodents are native to the Jade cliffs. The prestai is a large, chipmunk-like rodent that lives inside of aomo trees. che'ri’s are smaller versions of the prestai, with large bushy tales, that live in the branches of the tree’s. From the sea, yvirkoka are visible standing on the small edges of the cliffs. Their tiny hooves make it possible for them to scale the Jade Cliffs and settle in any Caves. Yvirkoka are rarely seen on the surface of the cliffs, and mostly feed on vegetation growing on the side of the cliffs and berries.

As you could imagine, there are dozens of different species of fish specifically bred to live in the thick sedimentary water of the Jade Cliffs. These fish range from centimeters in size in brooks and ponds, to larger than children in the lakes and surrounding water. Dridiavarlai used to be native to the land before the Oughlyesam Kin'toni Clan, but have since gone extinct. One their travels through the Flooded Forest, a few aquatic lizards made their way up the cliffs with the clan. These aquatic lizards began to eat dridiavarlai at alarming numbers until the dridiavarlai went extinct.
