Panterra

The world of Liberation.

Overview
Panterra takes the general shape of a circle with diameter around 190 miles. The circle is bordered by the Barrier. What exists outside the Barrier is unknown.

Panterra consists of two regions roughly bisected by the Opotiki mountain range: the dry Roto in the west, and the lush Tihaka in the east.

Tihaka
Tihaka consists of mostly lush forest, some lakes and some plains further up the mountains where temperatures become harsh, such as west of Armaster.

Tihaka has several towns of noteworthy size: The people of Tihaka are generally more laid-back and rustic than those of more developed and populated Roto.
 * Kaiki, in the north
 * Armaster, in the midwest
 * Marell, in the northeast
 * Gladeston, in the southeast

Roto
Roto is the region of plains that spans western and southern Panterra. The south and southwestern regions around Ravenshire and Brisburn are arid with little vegetation, but further north, rainfall becomes ideal for farming and sustaining the population of Panterra's capital, Oratia.

Roto has the following large towns: Roto is also home to: Thanks to the capital and busy farming and fishing trades, Roto is heavily populated compared to Tihaka.
 * Leviton, in the northwest
 * Khaldun, at the foot of the mountains in the north
 * Cambarton, in the center of the region
 * Tauriki, in the midwest
 * Brisburn, in the southwest
 * Ravenshire, in the southeast
 * Oratia, the capital of Panterra, near the mideast foothills

Opotiki Mountains
The mountain range bisecting Roto and Tihaka is referred to as the Opotiki Mountains. The tallest peak is volcanic Rakatao, at around 14,000'.

Climate in the mountains varies from arid, in the south near Ravenshire, to alpine in the north. Evergreen forests are a common sight, blanketing much of the range, especially in the northeast.

The mountains are mostly uninhabited save for a small number of nomads. The only location with a consistent population is the Temple of Bahamut, located in a quiet valley a few miles from Rakatao.

The Sea
The sea is small but somehow functional, with sandy beaches - popular tourist destinations - along the Roto coastline, and a wide array of sea life, though limited to smaller creatures like fish and crustaceans.
