Verse:Sel/ZE-1b/Valsatbat: Difference between revisions

The '''Valsatbat''' region is a vast, largely forested, karstic piedmont and coastal plain which lies between the Dalic Highlands to the west and the Kursoquan Sea (technically a very large bay) on its east. The area has been known from the neolithic as the motherland of the [[Hyudrontic languages|Hyudrontic peoples]], who's core identity is tied to the disruption of [[Verse:Sel/ZE-1b/Valsatbat/Zhumunts|zhumunt]] dominion over the forests (a major factor the animal's later endangered status), and consequent ability of their segment of Proto-Glaeglo-Hyudronts to migrate eastward to more plentiful lands, corresponding with the local development of agriculture.

Due in part to the prime location juxtaposed between a variety of environments, Valsatbat and its associated islands host a considerable amount of humanoid biodiversity in particular regarding its fauna. The Human-[[Verse:Sel/ZE-1b/Valsatbat/Elves|elf]] continuum (genus ''Homo'') has of course formed the majority of the cobalid population consistently since the beginning of the Neolithic, but native to the islands are also all varieties of [[Verse:Sel/ZE-1b/Trollkin|trollkin]] (genus ''Speluncanus''), all remaining lesser goblins (genus ''Cobalus''), a stable population of [[Verse:Sel/ZE-1b/Hobgoblins|hobgoblins]] (''C. rusticus'' or ''H. rusticus'') in the southern mainland, and even a number of transient [[Verse:Sel/ZE-1b/Nymphs/Nereids|nereid]] (''H. lympha maris'') settlements have been recorded on various coasts. The biodiversity has only increased as time passed, namely due to the large influx of displaced orcs (''H. albus arcium'') and further redistribution and remixing of human subspecies.
