Greater Centripax Basin

Sub-pages:
The Greater Centripax Basin region of the Administrate of Centripax.
Description
A region of thick forests, the Greater Centripax Basin region boasts the empire's largest freshwater lake, the Great Centripax Basin, a man-made waterway meant to ease travel to the sea. The region stretches away from the border of Moonstone to the west, along the foothills of the Great Mountains and through the Dolwoods along the border with the Refuge of Medonia.
History
The History of Early Centripax is one that is dominated by foreigners whose vision and effective rule quickly rendered spellbound the native dwarven inhabitants of these lands, leading to an era of peace and prosperity unattainable in pre-Centripian times. In only two centuries, the reigns of Dukes Doli of Kjarn and Socrates de Ambergois transformed this region from a war-torn, beleaguered confederation of dwarven clans to the prosperous center of scholarship, recreation, art, and peaceful celebration of life for the entire Kingdom. It is through the mandate and patronage of the latter duke that this history is recorded for future citizens of this realm, so that they may be aware of the heights to which Centripax was propelled, in the hopes that she will always be peaceful and free.

Terrain
Forest spread out along the northern and southern areas of the Basin region with a wide stretch of open plains and meadowland at its heart. Foothills break into the forests to the north, with the terrain a little more elevated and unsteady underfoot. Marshland has begun to spring up in the foothills just south of Riparia, below the region of Subterranea. The Great Centripax Basin, for which the region is named for, dominates the western portion of the region, the waters a crisp, clear blue with a smattering of woodland growing up along the edges of the lake.
Climate
The Administrate of Centripax being in the interior of the Aelyria Empire has hotter summers and more rigorous winters with snow, and rain falls on fewer days of the year as compared to that of the Maeve and Medonia. Up north where the Great Mountains and Primus Gaudeo are, mountain climate prevails. Temperatures are influenced mainly by altitude, and winters are generally bitterly cold and prolonged. Precipitation increases with elevation and occurs in the form of snow in winter, many villages in the high valleys receiving more than 50 days of snow each year. The climate is not so harsh in the south, in the areas of Natura and Acumin. The sun shines for more than most of the time even in winter each year.
