Geography
The Rotu mountains are a diamond shaped range formed in the center of the continent.

Passes
The Rotu mountains have been crossed often for war and commerce and by pilgrims, scholars and adventurers.

Flora
13,000 species of plants have been identified in the Alpine regions. The habitats range from meadows, bogs, woodland (deciduous and coniferous) areas to soiless scree and rock faces and ridges.

Fauna
The Rotu are a habitat for 30,000 species of wildlife, ranging from the tiniest snow fleas to dire bears, many of which have made adaptations to the harsh cold conditions and high altitudes to the point that some only survive in specific micro-climates either directly above or below the snow line.

The largest mammal to live in the highest altitudes are the Ibix, which have been sighted as high as 3,000 m (9,843 ft). The ibex live in caves and descend to eat the succulent alpine grasses. Areas of the Eastern Rotu are home to Dire bear
