moving from the colossal arthropod-infested jungle ruins and mega fauna grasslands of the northern roads, one would find almost all of the major water systems in the secondary continent, save for the three in the sand plains, lead to the great eastern freshwater plains. a massive area spanning several states wide completely submerged in freshwater, with some areas forming into vast shallow marshes covered in giant lily pads and stalky plants, dense freshwater groves, or deep lakes filled to the brim with teeming aquatic life, from dog-sized spring tails, ambush shrimps to literal giant water serpents that only legends could’ve conjured up.
here too, the nomads persevere. The eastern and northern nomads has a shared ancestry and both are in good terms with each other, occasionally engaging in trade around their borders.
