Root (Region 205) (Capital Region)
Description: Root is a land of plenty. It has stone, vegetation, game if it was needed - which in the case of the Omega, it is not.
The locals are fascinated by it. But then, they are fascinated by everything, at least for now. Root in particular, though, marks the original boundary of what they consider their project zone, the place where they will pursue Reconstruction according to their deepest cultural doctrines.
It certainly doesn't lack for charms that other species might appreciate. Soaring trees with emerald spade-shaped leaves provide a thick canopy, opening up in clearings through which one can see the Ring and the Stars. A full terrestrial ecosystem thrives, with the "dark parts" of the forest lit by bio-luminescent insects, fungi, and flowering spores. Strange six-winged birds snake their way through the trees, preying on smaller things and fleeing from larger creatures. The entire thing seems suspiciously like a conspiracy to make the place seem as enchanted as possible.

Resource: Wood is available in many places, but the trees here produce a type of Resin that is abundant, easy to harvest, and has a myriad number of uses. This zone's resource is Emerald Resin.
Construction: The city of Emerald Root is established in this region.
Emerald Root: Details
Emerald Root is more than a construction project. Emerald Root is, in and of itself, one of the Omega. Beyond the visible architecture, the Essence flows connect the city to the land around it and vice versa as one massive Genius Loci. Prior to Moonfall, the city had a nearly enchanted look. Afterward, with the "Elementals" a thing of the past, more signs of clear artifice have erupted across the Emerald Forest. While not supplanting the natural beauty, gears, cogs, and other obvious constructs are now visible, interwoven through the trees and along the shores of its rivers and creeks.
Emerald Root: Pre-Moonfall
Other Notable Features: Root is the home and capital region of the Omega.
