Geography

For the most part, the Emeusk Autumn Forest is mainly flat land with several small hills, caves and a small number of sinkholes, where some even have their own mini forest. The migratory animals that come to this forest have also created many waterholes that sprawls across a small portion of the Emeusk terrain. These waterholes are connected by small canals, creating a unique canal system that is big enough to inhabit small fishes and reptiles. However, the forest also annexes a tiny size of mountainous area up north.

This is due to the forest sharing a small part of the Fibodian Mountain Range on its northern part. There is a small tropical forest that can be found near the foot of the mountainous regions of Emeusk. These areas are not commonly prefered by the migratory animals that come to Emeusk to escape the colder areas of their homes as the mountainous region of Emeusk can be quite cold. The low temperature up north is due to Emeusk bordering Jekinusk Shattered Glacier up North.

Northern Emeusk can get really cold, and therefore the place is usually home to only a few sort of animals, including the Gob’uk and Kar’ha, which are generally herbivorous. However, predatory animals, including Rimau, which are solitary beasts, can also be found. Other small animals are also recorded to live in the mountainous region of Emeusk. The forest is also painted with a number of rivers running across it, with the largest being the Emu-Fibod river. The Emu-Fibod river is a large output of water where the river that flows from Northern Emeusk meets the river that flows out from the Mountainous Regions of Fibod.

The river is a couple of furlongs in width and almost five furlongs deep. The steady waters of Emeusk are home to several aquatic animals, including those of all sorts and sizes. This river then feeds off to the middle of Taerel before ending up in the Baestan Lush Dessert. Sinkholes, though uncommon, can also be found in this forest. Scholars suggest that this might be due to the nature of the forest where sedentary rivers, lakes and watering holes feed to underground chambers that eventually start to erode the land above it.

However, old scholarly text and contemporary observations have recorded that these sinkholes mainly occur on the land closely bordering the Baestan desert. It is also observed that a number of crevasses can be spotted on the land bordering the Baestan Desert on the east side. Some sinkholes, however, have had created a unique underground forest that is home to animals not found above the ground. One of the unique sinkhole forests includes the Duruduru Sinkhole forest that is rumoured to house beasts that have never been recorded by any beings before.

The Duruduru Sinkhole Forest, which resembles a tropical forest, is almost a league’s vast and a few good furlongs deep from the ground. The roof of the forest receives an ample amount of sunshine and, more so, plenty of water year-round as there seems to be an underground river that feeds to the base of the forest itself. The Duruduru Sinkhole Forest also has its own tiny pond that is rumoured to be able to treat all sorts of wounds. Unfortunately, aside from attempting to jump down towards the sinkhole forest, one would need to trek an underground cave system from a cave opening a league away from the actual sinkhole itself.

Plants

The emeusk Forest boast a warm and humid climate almost year-round with ample rainfall per month. This favourable climate had created an environment appropriate for the growth of millions of vegetations on its rich soil. With as estimated 65% of land covered, the emeusk tree is easily the most prominent in this region. The emeusk tree is best described as a big flowering tree that blooms its beauty each autumn. It's a relatively large tree, wherein it could stand up to a couple of furlongs tall in its prime days.

It has feather-like leaves that are green for the majority of the year except for the few months prior to its flowering season during autumn, where the leaves would have a mix of reddish-orange leaves. This time is called the tree's blooming period as it's when the emeusk trees bloom their beautiful emeusk flower. Depending on the location and the temperature of a specific region, the flower will either turn out to be either pink, purple, white or a mix of birth though rarely a mix of three.

In warmer regions, the flower will turn out to be purple, followed by pink and white. Northern Emeusk trees will almost always bloom white flowers while other parts of Emeusk will bear either of the three said colours. In relation back to the leaves' reddish-orange colour tone, it is also said that the change of the colour of the leaves is an adaptation to the lower temperature during autumn in the forest. In a fairly similar fashion, the intensity of the reddish-orange hue of the leaves depends on the temperature of a specific region of the forest.

The colder a region is, the stronger the intensity of the colour will be. The tree also houses a number of animals, including tikh'us, bosi'ing and gobu'k. With an estimated total forest coverage of 15%, the Ardü tree is the second-most prominent tree of the region. This tree is best known for its large, bulbous fruit that has an almost milky flavour to its white fruit insides. The tree is relatively lower than its other counterparts. It rarely houses any mammalians as its branches are far too narrow and the trunk is far too small with it, less a convenient places for a home in comparison with the emeusk tree, for instance.

However, in rare cases, some ardü trees are seen to house a small number of primates. Ardü Fruits are among the favourites of animals as its fruit is sweet and emits a strong pleasant smell. The nuk trees, however small the amount is, can also be found in the forest. These massive trees can grow up to a few furlongs long if the environment is favourable. This tree is estimated to cover just a shy of 5% of the total forest cover of the region. Most of these trees can be found on the foot of the mountainous region up north or on the west as well, where the Emeusk-Fibod border is located.

This tree has a dull green-coloured leaf all year-long. However, it is said that the nuk trees can only grow on relatively high-altitude with low temperatures and ample sunlight. The treehouses a plethora of animals, from small insects to large birds and different sorts of mammals. However, the tree is commonly associated with the piip birds that exist to the hundreds of thousands in this region. This is thanks to the nature of the fruiting tree that bears a sweet and nutritious, red-coloured fruit that's favoured in the animal kingdom.

Nuk tress, oddly enough, can also be spotted grown in the underground or sinkhole forest of emeusk, though on a drastically smaller size. Other fruiting and non-fruiting trees that constitute the total forest cover of the Emeusk Forest includes koa-koa trees, lang'hau trees, punt'hi trees, bundu' trees and more. Other plants in the region that do not fall under the domain of a "forest cover" include fungal khulat, ratan, bum-bum fruiting vine, and thousands other.

Animals

There are well over a couple of thousands of genus of animals that live in the Emeusk Forest, from small critters to large beast alike. One of the larger animals that live in the forest includes the rimau, which falls under mammals. The rimau is primarily carnivorous though they do resolve into eating certain plants, including fruits and berries, when food is scarce. rimaus has a unique stripe of yellow and white fur as its coat, while it has a dark, black iris that really sets a tone for an apex predator of its stature.

Their main diets include pal’nuk, small bakas and sometimes even kar’ha. rimaus are large beast where adults rimau can grow up to 15 feet in length and 5 feet in height. A typical male rimau can weight almost 55 stone while it’s female counterparts could weight up to 50 stone. It relies on its huge fangs and sharp claw to maul and bites down its prey as an apex predator. Being solitary beings, they almost always are seen alone apart from during mating season where it is seen with the member of the opposite sex to mate or between two males whereby, they fight to mate with their female counterparts.

Rimaus are also extremely territorial and would fight to their deaths at times to defend their ground. They usually live in caves, if any, or would nest under big rocks or underground in bu’s burrows. The average lifespan of a rimau is roughly around 20 years, though some rimau may live up to 45 years. Another solitary animal in Emeusk Forest would be the Bu. Bu are four-legged herbivores, with an average weight of 2 stones. They have a large shell behind their backs as mobile houses.

However, bu are also keen burrowers and accounts for leagues of underground tunnels or burrows to where the bu resides, especially to escape during the summer heat. Other bu may live in other bu burrows as most of the time; these house burrows gets connected from one side to another in such a fashion that there is almost an underground highway beneath the earth. They are also charitable creatures as they do not mind that other animals call the house the Bus built their withal. Luckily, bu does not have any natural predator, nor do they prey on any other creatures.

Bus main diets include berries, fresh leaves, and fruits that have fallen to the ground. Although they are mainly solitary creatures, they tend to be spotted grazing next to one another if not in a group. bus live exceedingly long, where some are estimated to be hundreds of years old. This is mainly due to the nature of the bu lacking natural predator and the extremely favourable living conditions of the bu. However, bu can only lay an egg every two years. Some of the eggs might not even survive as despite not having natural predators as formed bu, their eggs are a delicacy among the tulhanuts, the Bbivak and other reptiles.

On the treetops of Emeusk live a number of different species of apes. One being the gob’huk and kar’ha. These two apes are almost identical to one another as they share many common features and physiology. They both love fruits, where fruits such as ardü are their main diets. They both live in groups though gob’huk lives in smaller groups than kar’ha, while both species are equally aggressive in defending their territory. Gob’huk, at an average of 15 stones of weight, is relatively larger than the seven stones kar’ha.

Gob’huk has long arms and short legs, and although they frequent the treetops to feed and lounge and, on many occasions, build houses on the treetops, they can also be seen making their home using sticks and leaves on land. Kar’ha, on the other hand, having long limbs and only live, feed and lounge above ground, on the treetops. However, to drink, they are sometimes forced to go down from their safe abode, making them vulnerable to predators like the rimau. The average lifespan of gob’huk and kar’ha is around 50 and 20 years, respectively.

Emeusk is home to hundreds of birds as well. One of the most prominent birds being the Piips. Although different from one another, generally all the birds feed on fruits and berries as well as insects and worms, if any. They live on nests built on treetops, although large swarms of birds – mostly migrational birds, would sleep on branches as is. An average lifespan of a bird is around five years, though some would live up to only a year-long, including the Daru birds – small, colourful birds.
