Mega-regions of Hergom

Wodranis

Wodranis, the core of Hergom and modern Wolgos civilization, presents a region of high climate variability, featuring a significant band of oceanic climate and continental climate. This climatic diversity supports a vast agricultural industry. As one moves deeper into Wodranis, the taiga that dominates much of Kupeya becomes evident, with its extensive forests and clearings. Over decades, these taiga regions have been transformed into agricultural land suitable for various crops and grazing livestock. Wodranis is well-known for its expansive plains, dense forests, and immense river networks that meander across the vast plains, occasionally broken by low-lying hills. The rivers, highly navigable and interconnected by an extensive network of transport canals, also benefit from sophisticated drainage and flood control measures.

Due to its geographical location, wind patterns, and the high Krugelwront Mountains to the south of Kupeya, Wodranis experiences high and frequent rainfall. This rainfall feeds its extensive rivers but also poses the risk of flooding. During winter months or Tyreal minimum years, heavy snowfall is a frequent occurrence. Cloud cover is a common feature, along with lightning storms and stormy weather, adding to the climatic challenges faced by the region.

Despite a century of exploitation, Wodranis and its wild forests remain a prominent feature of the region. Nevertheless, urbanization, agriculture, and industry have significantly altered the landscape. The Wolgos, generally having poor environmental records, have contributed to extensive agricultural runoff along with industrial and municipal waste, affecting the Wodranis river networks and ecology. The Wodranis River itself is highly polluted, forming a low-oxygen environment that has resulted in largely putrid and black waters. The river carries agricultural nitrogen waste, leading to expansive algae blooms that have made fishing impossible unless fish farming pens are used. The Peyh1ekaras Bay, where the river discharges, is almost year-round covered in algae blooms. Nearly 87% of its surface is occupied by industrial kelp farms. The bay is no longer home to many indigenous species as little sunlight reaches beneath its waters. Contamination with chromium and other heavy metals such as lead and mercury has all but obliterated all mammals and most fish species in the bay, which is now dominated by low-oxygen arthropods and jellyfish.

The H1rewdhel and Pleudhara rivers suffer similar plights to the Wodranis, with native fish and mammal species mostly surviving in tributaries. The Asreom coast, extending along all of Wodranis, is heavily industrialized with kelp farming for fuel. Around 60% of prime shallow waters are occupied for kelp farming, and the industry is expanding yearly into deeper waters. The fishing industry thrives along the Asreom coast but has heavily affected the fish stocks of the Asherian seas.

Agriculture in Wodranis is diverse and productive, leveraging the varied climate and rich soils. The fertile plains and transformed taiga areas are used for growing various crops, such as barley, rye, oats, and root vegetables like potatoes, turnips, and rutabagas. These crops are well-suited to the cooler temperatures and short growing seasons. Berries, both cultivated and wild, such as lingonberries and cranberries, are significant crops in the region. Greenhouse farming is widely practiced to extend the growing season and protect crops from harsh weather conditions. Livestock grazing is another critical component of Wodranis agriculture. Extensive areas are used for grazing aurochs, sheep, haiter and reindeer, breeds that are hardy and adapted to the cold climate. Forestry and agroforestry practices are also significant, combining trees with crops and livestock to enhance biodiversity and productivity.

The environmental impact of intensive agricultural and industrial activities in Wodranis is severe. Water pollution is a major issue, with agricultural runoff containing nitrogen and industrial waste, including heavy metals, heavily contaminating the river systems. The high levels of agricultural runoff have caused expansive algae blooms in rivers, creating low-oxygen environments that are detrimental to aquatic life. The Peyh1ekaras Bay suffers from year-round algae blooms, severely impacting marine life and leading to the dominance of low-oxygen-tolerant species like arthropods and jellyfish.

Loss of biodiversity is a significant concern in Wodranis. The native fish and mammal species are largely extinct in the major rivers, surviving mainly in the less polluted tributaries. The heavy pollution in the Peyh1ekaras Bay has eliminated most indigenous species, replaced by low-oxygen-tolerant organisms. The Asreom coast, with its extensive kelp farming for biofuel, has replaced natural marine habitats, further impacting indigenous species.

Flooding and soil erosion are additional environmental challenges faced by Wodranis. The high rainfall, coupled with poor land management practices, contributes to frequent flooding and significant soil erosion. Urbanization and industrial activities have altered the natural landscape, exacerbating these issues.

Kelp farming is a major industrial activity in Wodranis, particularly along the Asreom coast. The extensive kelp farming for biofuel occupies around 60% of prime shallow waters and is continually expanding into deeper waters. This industrial activity has replaced natural marine habitats, impacting marine biodiversity. The fishing industry, thriving along the Asreom coast, has significantly reduced fish stocks in the Asherian seas due to overfishing and habitat destruction.
