The Hilt

The Hilt

Some of the furthest reaches of Omneutta, Turath-Space is also the most welcoming of all to outsiders. When creating The Hilt, Taruthe had planned for his space to reflect the diversity of Omneutta: the center would hold his eventual Sentient Species and represent Astran would reflect the rest of Omneutta in climate and geographic diversity. However, this massive undertaking was not finished before the Timekeeping Reset forbade him from creating more celestial bodies. Though Turath-Space is the most diverse collection of climates and terrain, two key features can be found throughout: all land is livable, existing between subarid and humid climates, and the space is notorious for hills, mountains, and highlands throughout. Water is an important resource for the turths and can be found whether in a sea, lake, or river each planet-star.


Regions

Modeled by Taruthe after The Outcropping, the land offers stark contrast between its sloping lowlands dotted with brush and hardy trees and its rocky features. Duslady bears its closest resemblance to Pan Arbnhap, with water features large enough to support small flora, fauna, and turths fed mostly from snowmelt. Rather than the rock pillars and deserts of The Outcropping, this Region has tall angular mountains and savanna respectively.

Somewhere in Pommel lies the ancestral home of the turths, but it remains a mystery after centuries of looking. Pommel is one of the most geographically and environmentally diverse places in Omneutta. In contrast to other Regions such as Wodagora and and Duslady, the mountains here are more rounded—and although they can rise very high—tend to do so by slower slopes. The Region is said to be a left over of spare planet-stars and continents from when Taruthe was creating celestial bodies for The Hilt, as there are large differences in geography across the Region, even within continents.

Modeled by Taruthe after Parallelium, the most obvious connection is the wide flatlands and abrupt cliff faces. Though unfinished by Taruthe before the Timekeeping Reset and split of Pommel, there are many features of Tang that would make it obvious to any Omneuttian who might find themselves in this Region. One of the most apparent from any distance is the wide sections of flatland that cover most of the area covered by short grasses and shrubs before dropping off into near-vertical cliff faces. There are few large forests, whether in size, density, or canopy height. Additionally there are steam vents that dot the landscape. Around these vents, due to the relatively high volume of moisture, there are large variations in flora around the vents, and in landmasses that have these vents there are more fauna that have adapted to seek out the flora that surrounds them. There are a few volcanoes that can be found in Tang and they are mostly slow-rolling shield volcanoes.

Modeled by Taruthe after Pale Shores, where relatively large bodies of water quickly transition to mountains. Wodagora has its own distinct flora and fauna, again all similar to those found in Pale Shores. Here, and not in many other places in The Hilt, one can find coniferous trees, in addition to other evergreen species. The presence of river fish is also higher and at a higher density than across elsewhere in Turath-Space, as is the likelihood of finding slightly larger aquatic creatures in the large bodies of water. Like Tang and volcanoes, few glacial landmasses can be found across Wodagora—but they are all of The Hilt’s occurrences.
