Taipan Peninsula

Taipan is a large peninsula in southwestern Long.

The Taipan peninsula is a slender peninsula dominated by rainforests and wetlands and scattered with ruins many of which are hidden under the area’s flora.

The upper Taipan is ruled by the Duke of Tegu and the lower Taipan by the Duke of Pareida. In between stretches the isthmus of Ameiva (also called the Ameiva isthmus or Ameiv isthmus) which is a lawless zone of dense rainforest and the home of several "uncivilized" indigenous tribes.

The largest city on the peninsula is Pareas, located in the center of Pareida. Pareas is laid out similar to the City of Varanus with a raised, square plateau surrounded by shallow waters with walls, gardens and causeways.

Geography

Taipan has a tropical monsoon climate with lush rainforest covering over half the peninsula, including the southern cape, the western coast and the Ameiv isthmus.

The Taipan rainforest is likely the most biodiverse ecosystem in the Two Kingdoms. Its fauna include tigers and many species of lizards, frogs and insects that are unique to the region. Its flora include a number of plants with medicinal or psychoactive properties.

History

During the latter half of the Warring Dukes Period, the Kingdom of Taipan was a powerful state whose hegemony extended across Southern and Western Long as far north as the Bay of Long and as far east as the southern edge of the Long plains region. Taipan was the greatest of the petty kingdoms that rose and fell during the period and it lasted for c. 100 years, collapsing not long before the rise of the Varanus dynasty.
