Legend

“There is no north pole anymore, maybe even no south. Regardless, as none would be able to live there anyway.“

Cartography

Still, some regions known for having polar climates include the most northern regions of Utari, Mealis, and Findon.

Average Temperature Range: Very high average temperatures year-round with extreme diurnal temperature variations (very hot days, cold nights).

Precipitation Patterns: extremely low precipitation, often with long periods of drought. Occasional very intense but short-lived rainfall.

Wind patterns: often characterised by strong, dry winds, which contribute to arid conditions and dust storms. The upwinds at Findons northern mountain peaks are known as the flaming breath, able to burn and dry out a living creature in a single gust and having such force that pebbles, stones, and rocks are hauled across and rain down at the southern side.
