The Greenlands

The Greenlands is one of the seven regions of Sumondia. It is named after its verdant ecosystems, ranging from rolling grassy hills to dense jungles.

The Pokémon League dislike referring to Sumondia in terms of these regions as they perpetuate the historic differences which they see to endanger the unification of Sumondia.

Geography of The Greenlands
The Greenlands is dominated by dense rainforest that stretches from the coast of The Great Lake to the ocean, forming a barrier, splitting Sumondia East from West, this is how The Great Green Barrier derived its name. The flora of the jungle has spread all across the coast of the Greenlands. In the Great Green Barrier trees and plants twist up the craggy coastline, obscuring the waterfalls that cascade towards the seas. As the trees of the jungle thin out and the coastline becomes sandier, exotic plants and vines grow from the interior grasslands, through the dunes and beaches of the coast and many plants have adapted to grow in the salt waters of the ocean.

The jungle becomes to thin out to the East where the tropical plants of the rainforest give way to meadows of delicate flowers before being replaced by grassy hills, dispersed with the many rivers that run throughout the region.

Rainfall is very common in the Greenlands, yet the temperature remain mild, compared to the extremes in weather experienced in Northern Sumondia.

Society in The Greenlands
Like many Southern regions of Sumondia, the Greenlands finds itself integrated and largely free from conflict. This is obviously not including the violent rivalry between the Tabaxi and Yuan-Ti of the rainforest, but as other races, particularly Wood Elves, began to settle in the rainforest and many Tabaxi travelled into Sumondia, the fighting lessened.

Much like The Oldlands, farming is a way of life for many in The Greenlands, particularly between in the hills and valleys between Petylverd City and Midway City.

Not only is Petylverd City significant in Sumondia as a spectacle of beauty where nature and civilisation are inexorably intertwined but it is also a scientifically valuable research site. The three enormous greenhouses on the outskirts of the city are not only for the preservation of natural flora but also for scientific research and innovation.
