Umon

Region Of Umon

Umon, pronounced as "Uw-Mon" is one of the 14 regional areas on Liberos. Umon is the most central region located on Liberors, and is most well known for its very early human activity including the rise of the Kingdom Of Osmax. Umon was first settled by many various tribes, and it is still unknown why they chose Umon over various warmer climates such as those of Henor and Avallone. The region is home to the famous Osmax people, who would come to own most of the region for most of the first millenia. The region is not as rich in resources like like Omis or Peltas; but the Agarian Mountains produced most of the world's silver production for 500 years. The region's climate is very unique due to its harsh winters, but fairly warm summers and cool springs. Food such as corn, potatoes, and Saulk was primarily grown in the region. Access to the sea on all sides gave the Osmax unlimited fishing space, allowing them to amass quite the economy and Naval power.

Name

Umon, pronounced as "Uw-Mon" was first theorized by the ancient mapping legend Franius Lanius. Franius traveled across many of the regions and continents of Liberos including Peltas, Susland, Faltos, and even the distant region Nimtas. Franius used the Semther word for Central, "Umus", and the Helten word for strong, "Omn." Combining them to form Umon. The region was also called at some point Ima but was changed back to Umon in fear of being related to the Blamo Religion.

Tribe & Kingdom Of Osmax

Home to the Creation of the first formal nation, the Osmax (tribe) would transform under Max I into the Kingdom Of Osmax. The Kingdom Of Osmax would go on to dominate world affairs for centuries as the primary powerhouse and completely rule over Umon. Subjugating the Kingdom Of Fowatan in 43 First Era, the Wall Of Spears in 113 First Era, and the High Kingdom Of Nometra in 230 First Era, the Osmax were left unrivaled in the region.

Extent

Umon extents from the Passage Of Green all the way towards the northern shore that encompasses the Bay Of Mystical Ice. Holding a few nearby islands, Umon in comparison to other regions is very easily kept track of. Gandal, for example, is much harder due to its much more streamlined features non-reliant on geographical terrain.

Regions

Umon notably is much different in the north than the south. The North has much harder winters with less fertile soil, with Summer lasting the shortest out of the seasons. The north, however, has much more in terms of wood and mass compared to the south which only has rainforests along the shores. The inner ring of the south consists mostly of grasslands, notably the Grasslands Of Yore and small forests; unlike the North which has grasslands near the shores and big vast forests in the center. Given the name of its forestry grassland nature, The Soft Lands Of Umon live up to their name.

Geography

Geographical features of Umon include: Passage Of Green, Peninsula Of Sight, Bay Of Mystical Ice, The Soft Lands Of Umon, The Bay Of Dead Armies, Grasslands Of Yore, Agarian Mountains. Nearly an island, Umon with its central location on Liberos gives it a natural trade position which greatly benefited the Kingdom Of Osmax for centuries. However, with its great location came a problem for all inhabitants of Umon. Umon generally was surrounded on all sides and thus was always in danger of being conquered, unlike some countries like the Tribe Of Elbama which had only one relative danger.

Geology

Geology Of Umon

Umon compared to some regions was very resource poor. Without the large silver deposits over the Agarian Mountains Umon would have had a much harder time becoming a trade power. However, with these deposits (and slighter smaller ones to the East) Umon was able to make itself into a trading powerhouse. But because of these resource deficits, Umon remained a farming culture for the majority of its land; becoming an agricultural superpower in that right. Although the quality was never high, and famines still occurred, the people of Umon faired much better than others. The Silver League would become the most powerful independent company for centuries out of its Silver Mines.

Climate

Very unique for its global position, Umon would have harsh winters but sometimes blistering hot summers and generally cool springs. The summers would range much hotter in the South than the North with all of the rainforests, and it rarely would snow on the bottom of Umon. Because of its climate, mostly Deciduous forest and Temperate Forest ruled the region.

Culture

Completely Helten and Heltas, Umon remained the stronghold of Osmanian Culture. Transformed under the reign of the Kingdom Of Osmax, all native culture in Umon was quickly replaced with the Osmanian Religion, Helten Language, and if not already, Heltas people. This, unfortunately, would lead to many racial issues in the future as Heltens became uncomfortable around other Races such as Rituns. Luckily, this would eventually alleviate as much bigger concerns would arise; the issue never completely disappeared though.
