Terrains
Klatch is a mix of grassy plains and deserts. Near Djelibeybi is the Tsortean desert, beyond which is Eritian desert, and further still is more desert. To the south is the Ephebian desert. The desert features large sand dunes and rock formations with scattered mountainous terrain that include at least four distinct ranges.
Cabbage fields dot the plains in patches and a melon farm sprawls just south of Djelibeybi. Garlic farms can be found near Djelibeybi and the Chronides farmstead.
Savanna blends into tree savanna close to jungles and lightly wooded areas, usually found far north of Djelibeybi. In the far northwest and southwest the heat mixes with humidity to form rainforest. This is especially true in the southwest where a swamp has formed.
Where the Circle Sea meets the wilderness there tends to be a rocky shore — or a sandy beach if the plains are nearby.
Languages
Djelian is spoken in Djelibeybi, the Klatchian Foreign Legion outpost, the Lower Djel Trading Post and the ruins of Tacticum. Ephebian is spoken in Ephebe, the farmsteads, Il Drim and the oasis.
Currencies
