Biomes

Each realm and Mirae world consists of one or more biomes — large geographic areas shaped by environmental conditions such as temperature, rainfall, elevation, and magical potency.

• Tallahi Biomes
• Earacian Biomes
• Aivittian Biomes
• Fenerese Biomes
• Watiffi Biomes
• Daroidic Biomes
• Miravian Biomes

All existing biomes can be quickly recognized and classified using 6

Classification based on the annual average temperatures within the biome.

• Superpolar — Extremely cold regions with an annual average of less than -40 °C.
• Polar — Very cold climates with an annual average of less than -15 °C.
• Subpolar — Cold regions with an annual average of less than -5 °C.
• Boreal — Cold temperate climates with significant seasonal variation and an annual average of less than 0 °C.
• Temperate — Moderate climates with distinct seasons and an annual average of more than 0 °C.
• Subtropical — Warm climates with an annual average of more than 15 °C.
• Tropical — Hot climates with little temperature variation and an annual average of more than 25 °C.
• Supertropical — Very hot regions with extreme temperatures and an annual average of more than 40 °C.
• Subvolcanic — Extremely hot areas, with an annual average of more than 70 °C.
• Volcanic — The hottest climates without any significant variation and with an annual average of more than 90 °C.

Classification that reflects the rate at which water is lost from the biome.

• Aquatic — Water environments; near 0% loss.
• Superhumid — Extremely wet environments; up to 10% loss.
• Perhumid — Very wet environments; up to 20% loss.
• Humid — Areas with balanced moisture levels; up to 30% loss.
• Subhumid — Moderately wet environments with occasional dry periods; up to 50% loss.
• Subarid — Drier regions, where evapotranspiration exceeds rainfall; more than 50% loss.
• Arid — Dry environments with high evapotranspiration rates; more than 60% loss.
• Perarid — Extremely dry areas with minimal moisture; more than 80% loss.
• Superarid — Ultra-dry regions, leading to harsh, desert-like conditions; more than 90% loss.
• Dead — Environments with no available moisture and instant evapotranspiration; near 100% loss.

Classification based on the annual precipitation within the biome.

• Scant — None or very rare, light showers; up to 100 mm annually.
• Light — Occasional, gentle rains; 100-300 mm annually.

• Heavy — Consistent heavy rains; 1500-2000 mm annually.
• Intense — Very heavy and often prolonged rains; 2000-3000 mm annually.
• Torrential — Extremely heavy rainfall, typically in shorter periods; 3000-4000 mm annually.
• Deluge — Near-constant, extremely heavy rains; 4000-5000 mm annually.
• Monsoonal — Massive, overwhelming rainfall; exceeding 5000 mm annually.

Classification based on the average elevation of the biome.

• Belowland — Areas below sea level; bellow 0 m.
• Lowland — Near sea level; 0-100 m.
• Low Elevation — Slightly elevated areas; 100-300 m.
• Submontane — Elevated terrain; 300-600 m.
• Montane — Mid-elevation regions; 600-1000 m.
• Highland — Elevated regions; 1000-2000 m.
• Subalpine — High elevation; 2000-3500 m.
• Alpine — High mountain zones; 3500-4500 m.
• Subnival — Very high elevations; 4500-5500 m.
• Nival — Extreme elevations; above 5500 m.

A classification that represents the percentage of the total land area in a biome, including vertical space (height), that is occupied by plant life and other forms of life.

• Barren — No significant life forms, almost devoid of vegetation; up to 1% coverage.
• Sparse — Minimal plant life, with isolated pockets of vegetation; up to 3% coverage.
• Grassy — Dominated by grasses and small plants; up to 5% coverage.
• Wooded — Scattered trees and shrubs, with some open areas; up to 15% coverage.
• Forested — Dense tree coverage, with various plant species; up to 25% coverage.
• Lush — Abundant and thriving vegetation; up to 35% coverage.
• Diverse — High biodiversity, with a complex mix of plants and habitats; up to 45% coverage.
• Dense — Very thick vegetation, with little light reaching the ground; up to 60% coverage.
• Jungled — Extremely dense and complex vegetation; up to 80% coverage.
• Overgrown — Vegetation dominates and overwhelms the landscape; more than 80% coverage.

Classification based on the magical potency inside the biome.

• Null — A place entirely devoid of magic; exactly 0% potency.
• Whispering — Magic exists in faint traces, like a soft whisper on the wind; up to 10% potency.
• Glimmering — Magic is sporadic, appearing as brief flashes or glimmers that hint at hidden power; up to 20% potency.
• Enchanted — The land is touched by magic, with areas and objects occasionally infused with arcane energy; up to 30% potency.
• Wyrd — Magic is woven into the fabric of reality, with wondrous occurrences being a regular part of the biome; up to 40% potency.
• Bewitched — The entire landscape is under the sway of magic, with tangible effects like floating islands; up to 50% potency.
• Mystic — Magic saturates the world, almost like a river flowing through everything; up to 65% potency.
• Arcane — Magic is a powerful and nearly overwhelming force, manifesting in grand and awe-inspiring ways; up to 80% potency.
• Eldritch — The boundaries between the physical and magical worlds blur; up to 95% potency.
