Aroza

Features

Aroza is known for its generally warm summers and mild winters. The peninsula is mildly wavy in its shape and tapers towards the middle. Across it, a mountain range runs. It is lower near the end of the peninsula, and eventually becomes an underwater range, making the Rising Pendulum archipelago.

Aroza contains most of the territory of Lemilona.

Flora

Plants commonly found on the moist coasts of Aroza include palms, welwitschia, mangroves, seagrass, cycads, gnetum, olive trees, bamboo, a variety of bushes and grasses, grapes, tomatoes and other belladonaceans. The drier ones have a different set of bushes, flowers and grasses, still having bamboo, palm trees and cycads, but also housing pines and even cacti.

The mountains found across the peninsula and the continent it belongs to are also home to plants like mountain cacti, absinth and pines.

Fauna

The beaches of Aroza teem with crabs, scorpions, gulls, ctenochasmatids, loons, starfish, sea urchins, penguins and tannystropheus. Since much of Aroza is coastal, these creatures are much of the local biomass.

Inland habitats have species such as lynxes, marmots, peccaries, flamingos, badgers, protoceratopes and goats. The later are specially common on the mountains, where they are prey to eagles and passing azhdarchids. The top predator in less jagged terrain is the suchomimus.

In older times, there were basilisks in the caves of Aroza, but they are extinct.
