Desert surfaces receive a little more than twice the solar radiation received by humid regions and lose almost twice as much heat at night. Many mean annual temperatures range from 20-25° C. The extreme maximum ranges from 43.5-49° C. Minimum temperatures sometimes drop to -18° C. Rainfall is usually very low and/or concentrated in short bursts between long rainless periods. Evaporation rates regularly exceed rainfall rates. Sometimes rain starts falling and evaporates before reaching the ground. Rainfall is lowest on the Atacama Desert of Chile, where it averages less than 1.5 cm. Some years are even rainless. Inland Sahara also receives less than 1.5 cm a year. Rainfall in American deserts is higher — almost 28 cm a year. Soils are course-textured, shallow, rocky or gravely with good drainage and have no subsurface water. They are coarse because there is less chemical weathering. The finer dust and sand particles are blown elsewhere, leaving heavier pieces behind. Canopy in most deserts is very rare. Plants are mainly ground-hugging shrubs and short woody trees. Leaves are "replete" (fully supported with nutrients) with water-conserving characteristics. They tend to be small, thick and covered with a thick cuticle (outer layer). In the cacti, the leaves are much-reduced (to spines) and photosynthetic activity is restricted to the stems. Some plants open their stomata (microscopic openings in the epidermis of leaves that allow for gas exchange) only at night when evaporation rates are lowest. These plants include: yuccas, ocotillo, turpentine bush, prickly pears, false mesquite, sotol, ephedras, agaves and brittlebush. The animals include small nocturnal (active at night) carnivores. The dominant animals are burrowers and kangaroo rats. There are also insects, arachnids, reptiles and birds. The animals stay inactive in protected hideaways during the hot day and come out to forage at dusk, dawn or at night, when the desert is cooler. Source:The desert biome Atlantis: Atlantis (in Greek, Ἀτλαντὶς νῆσος, "island of Atlas") is the name of a legendary island first mentioned in Plato's dialogues Timaeus and Critias.[1] In Plato's account, Atlantis, lying "beyond the Pillars of Hercules", was a naval power that conquered many parts of Western Europe and Africa 9,000 years before the time of Solon, or approximately 9500 BC. After a failed attempt to invade Athens, Atlantis sank into the ocean "in a single day and night of misfortune". As a story embedded in Plato's dialogues, Atlantis is generally seen as a myth created by Plato to illustrate his political theories. Although the function of the story of Atlantis seems clear to most scholars, they dispute whether and how much Plato's account was inspired by older traditions. Some scholars argue Plato drew upon memories of past events such as the Thera eruption or the Trojan War, while others insist that he took inspiration from contemporary events like the destruction of Helike in 373 BC or the failed Athenian invasion of Sicily in 415–413 BC. The possible existence of a genuine Atlantis was actively discussed throughout classical antiquity, but it was usually rejected and occasionally parodied by later authors. While little known during the Middle Ages, the story of Atlantis was rediscovered by Humanists in modern times. Plato's description inspired the utopian works of several Renaissance writers, like Francis Bacon's "New Atlantis". Atlantis inspires today's literature, from science fiction to comic books and films, its name having become a byword for any and all supposed prehistoric but advanced (and lost) civilizations Source: Atlantis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Wilderness (The troll mountains): A troll is a fearsome member of a mythical race from Norse mythology. Originally more or less the Nordic equivalents of giants, although often smaller in size, the different depictions have come to range from the fiendish giants – similar to the ogres. The mountains are wintry mountains with pine trees and glades up in the northern part of kel-durok. Source: Troll - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Swamps of Mireton: The Swamps of Mireton are a wetland that features temporary or permanent inundation of large areas of land by shallow bodies of water, generally with a substantial number of hammocks, or dry-land protrusions, and covered by aquatic vegetation, or vegetation that tolerates periodical inundation.[1] The water of a swamp may be fresh water or salt water. A swamp is also generally defined as having no substantial peat deposits.[2] In North America, swamps are usually regarded as including a large amount of woody vegetation, but elsewhere this may not necessarily apply, such as in African swamps dominated by papyrus. By contrast a marsh in North America is a wetland without woody vegetation, or elsewhere, a wetland without woody vegetation which is shallower and has less open water surface than a swamp. A mire (or quagmire) is a low-lying wetland of deep, soft soil or mud that sinks underfoot. Source:Swamp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Kaa Wood: Ecologically, a woodland [Kaa wood] is an area covered in trees, differentiated from a forest. In these terms, a forest has a largely closed canopy – the branches and foliage of trees interlock overhead to provide extensive and nearly continuous shade. A woodland, on the other hand, allows sunlight to penetrate between the trees, limiting shade. Woodlands may support an understory of shrubs, herbs, or grasses. Woodlands may form a transition to shrublands under drier conditions.

(OOC: Neilsweaky, Wolfoboy, Darkone, Woofy, and maybe jay117)
Yuyoyu Crept from the moss covered rocks into the dew speckled vines ahead. A brook seperated Yuyoyu from the maples. He buttressed some rough rope around his silver girdle, then removed his clothes. Now he just wore some flax leggings and some ironboot greeves. Flinging his black cotton shirt and Dusty fiber trousers over the creak, he tied the rope around his helmet, the only "gear" he wore, and flung it over a small rock bathing in the sunlight over the brook. It grasped the rock, just as he had planned, and as badger leaped on his shoulder, he dove into the water majectically and perfectly, his red hair swaying in the water. Pulling himself across the brook, he braced his watery greaves in the grass. Water sputtered everywhere when Bagder and Yuyoyu emerged from the water. Setting his trousers and greaves on the rock, along with his herbs and armor, He (Now naked) Walked over to the maples. Right here were supposed to be the bandits of OOpalook. They were right now Wandering the forest, but they should be by the maples, a miletstone for traveling monks (who were very rare in these parts). Yuyoyu was a slayer, he got gold and various other possesions from Various inns, to some weary guards, to a young boy who had lost his ball... They were all in need of help, And thats what yuyoyu did. Helped. He slayed the fearsome witch in her garden from which the boy's ball had landed, He killed the Bandit Lord who had killed several and stolen money, and he had saved a beautiful young girl from a tower guarded by giant rats. He was paid from bags of gold coins and silver to pouches of gems to some poor people who could only give him potions or family weapons and the like. It was quite sad to take these prized possesions from people, but they always were so happy. Meanwhile, badger was munching on some berries along the creek.
