Exhpazixh (the Flatlands), is the name given to the home of the Růmzqūse People, referring to the flat topography of the land. The area is sparsely populated, contains a large swatch of savanna in the south, giving way to a steppe and a rocky desert further north.
Settlements
With low population density, Růmzqūse settlements are small and few within the flatland area. These settlements are relatively stable, however, as they have extrapolated ways of growing the various types of edible flora found in the area. Concentrations of these small farming settlements are greatest within the plains areas, as the steppe and desert have been found to be completely unsuitable for any growth.
The Nōneůik Mountains
Within the heart of Exhpazixh lie a small mountain chain called the Nōneůik Mountains. They are considered the most sacred Vazůliv for the people, as they are the largest anomalies.
An extensive cave system, known as the Olneůik or Vkiůzdong, was discovered at the bottom of the southernmost area in the chain some time ago, and it has been inhabited and developed for many years. This serves as a sort of central city, as many religious channeling centers have been established here. The mountains have also been found to contain large deposits of iron and silver, the former being used to great effect in the development of farming tools, and the latter used for decorative and monetary purposes.
Regions
- Southern Exhpazixh, the grasslands, Exhpazixh Zbbuongtiz. Plant life abundant, gathering of food for other regions, establishment of farms. Goods include: wheat, barley, oats, mustard plants, tea, grass building material.
- Central Exhpazixh, everything else basically, steppe, desert, and mountains. Exhpazixh Toti. Very dry and rocky, little to no plant life. Water control and irrigation is required for farming here, although it usually isn't done here anyway. This region is further divide into its constituent biomes:
- Vuluvdduān (vuluvt- to drown) Desert. Parched earth, sand is minimal, most of the ground is composed of some kind of stone.
- Puxhåt, the steppe. Like the desert, it is mostly rocky, but with significantly more wildlife able to survive here. It is very windy, sometimes leading to dust storms that move northwards towards the desert.
