	~~Invaluable~~ for sugar production on the planet~~. A hardy snow bamboo~~. They are unique in that on every stem it bears a single spherical fruit at the very top, surrounded by a white woolly rind. Short stems which end in thick-leafed fronds grow along the length of the "trunk", giving it an appearance like Terran bamboo. The stalks tend to be as thick as one's thigh with very hard, protective woody shells around its vulnerable interior. They grow in giant groves like the bamboo forests on Earth and can be applied in similar uses.		A hardy snow bamboo invaluable for sugar production on the planet.

	Exports of animal fats and fur have also brought riches to the planet. Tajaran furs are prized for their insulating abilities and certain species of animal have been noted to have 'luxurious, velveteen fur coats' that make good luxury furniture, coats, clothing, and blankets. Because of the nature of their ecosystem, Adhomai also has a monopoly on the exportation of these materials; creatures exported from the planet, unless taken care of under specific and expensive conditions, quickly experience heatstroke and die. This makes the off-planet breeding and selling of these creatures of dubious monetary value.		Exports of animal fats and fur have also brought riches to the planet.

	What it lacks in manufacturing power, Adhomai makes up for in the presence and exporting of raw materials. Given that the Tajara had only reached the height of their industrial revolution before stagnation, they were unable to achieve the level of technology that other species were capable of. While more factories are being upgraded and built to facilitate the cheap construction of important products by untrained workers, Adhomai is valued amongst supercorporations and other high profile individuals because of the abundance of raw resources, which has quickly led to a human-funded expansion of the resource gathering industry.

	===Geographical Poles===		===Geographical Poles===

	Besides the deepest cavern and oceans, the poles of Adhomai are one of the least explored regions of the planet. Supposedly devoid of all non-aquatic life, the poles are the most hostile environment on the planet. The unending sea of ice and extreme sub-zero temperatures made the region unattractive to any kind of investment by the Adhomian powers. Expeditions reached both south and north poles, but no deeper analyses were made by a scientific team yet. However, this situation will likely change with the Cold War; every nation is eager to find any kind of resource that might help them in the conflict.

	The poles also play an important role in Adhomai’s ecosystem as a breeding ground for the Hma'trra Zivr. Glacier Wormlings will borrow in the ice and feed on plankton until they are large enough to compete with other marine creatures. Remains of adult Hma’trra Zvir are commonly found on the surface of the glaciers; how they get there is a mystery to most biologists.

			====Mech'ty Tree (Tree of the Path)====

			Endemic to the Rhazkjara Valley, the Mech'ty Tree has a thick trunk and elongated, serrated leaves. Its sap is used to produce a hallucinogenic substance known as Vorothy. Prior to the first contact, these plants were one of the valley's most sought-after resources; adventurers and nobles fought for control of the Mech'ty reserves. After the First Civil War, revolutionaries seized some seedlings and brought them to Das'nrra. The City of Crevus has multiple underground greenhouses housing Mech'ty Trees for drug production.

	The Sham'tyr, meaning wind devils, is a terrifying breed of flying creatures often mentioned in ~~Adhomaian~~ folklore as devilish, evil things that snatch small children who wander from home and carry them into the night sky to never be seen again. They look somewhat like imps of legend, with tiny limbs and a snarling, rat-like face. Using their pair of sinewy, bat-like wings, which can range in size up to two times that of their own gangling bodies, these creatures are capable of soaring high above the clouds to avoid Adhomai's blizzards. They are known to use loud, breathless wails that can be heard far below the clouds they soar above. They behave much like vultures but are known to be carnivorous towards small Tajara, which come in the form of children, only returning to the ground to scavenge and rest for scant amounts of time, perching near the tops of Adhomai's tallest peaks. It's for this reason that they're often seen as bad omens that bring death or terrible weather.

Their meat was nice and hearty and healthy, and the thick furs were good for making clothes to keep themselves warm in the snow. As the modern ages came, the hunting of the 'striders', as their name translates, slowed as the Tajara started to learn how to capture and farm them for their resources more efficiently. That being said, not that the modern-day Adhomai needs their resources fewer thanks to the synthetic fabric and more efficient food sources, both the meat and the fur of the nav'twir ~~has~~ become an export of ~~the~~ Adhomai ~~people~~.

	~~Termed by Tajara scientists as Anerpis hippolupus familiaris; “Climbing Horse-wolf (Domesticated)”.~~ The zhsram is a rideable beast of burden, large enough for one adult rider only but perfectly adapted for the rough terrain on Adhomai. It has shaggy fur, and long legs adapted to picking through snow-drifts and running over ice. Its narrow track left in the snow enables it to move efficiently through treacherous, rocky, icy or narrow terrain with its tiny, sure-footed paws, quite similar to a mountain goat's incredible sure-footing. They can be led and ridden and are quite biddable for a trustworthy owner, and sometimes can be driven before a cart or a sled; they can be harnessed into teams before sleds and can be mushed, as long as they all get along. However, individually they can bear only up to a maximum weight of 300 lbs dragging, 200 lbs ridden. They have a pack mentality, which leads them to submit to a dominant lead matriarch, with the lead patriarch protecting the pack and guiding their movements. They have a horse-like herd structure with a wolf-like family dynamic; they will stay together, the harem of interrelated females and their co-parented whelps under the lead pair.

	A domesticated beast of burden used for hitching-and-dragging. They don’t move very efficiently, but they are best for dragging sleds and carts with huge loads up to equal their body weight, around 4,000 lb. They most resemble a woolly, hoofed Paraceratherium that is only the size of a draft horse, with a rhino-like nose horn, and short elephant-esque tusks from the upper jaw, all angled down and outwards. It has many uses domestically but requires an enormous investment of time and resources to keep. Only wealthy ranchers can afford it, but profit enormously from it. Its ivory and horn are status symbols used in decorative crafts, carvings, and instrument keys; its huge bones, while rarer, are great for building and decorations as well.

	The Mata'ke Rafamas, or steeds of Mata'ke, are large, hairy animals that inhabit the mountains of Central Adhomai. While known to be herbivorous, their name was given to them by the myth of Mata'ke as they're extremely territorial and aggressive. It used to be said that in his mortal life Mata'ke was so strong of a warrior, he could wear armor and wield weapons that no other Tajara could. While the rest of his men would ride into battles and tournaments alike on normal steeds, only these strong, robust animals could carry Mata'ke into battle. Mata'ke Rafama is also well known for ~~their~~ tusked jowls and buff stature, sometimes growing as large as a Terran sedan, and their tusks as long as three feet outwards. Aside from the tusk, the Ma'take Rafamas also possess thin horns atop their heads that grow around two inches out before sharply pointing forwards.

	The Hma'trra Zivr ~~are~~ a species of extremely large tube-shaped and segmented worms that inhabit the deep oceans of Adhomai. Their biology is simple, as they possess seemingly no sensory skills and have no eyes, nostrils, or limbs, instead of having merely one giant tube-shaped, ring-segmented body that can be as wide as ~~adhomaian~~ buildings are tall. At the front end of this body is a large, three-pointed slit in the front of the worm that opens to reveal a great pit of a mouth that is lined with rows of sharp, ice-cutting teeth. Using this mouth, they break up icebergs and glaciers by digesting them. While terrifying, their niche is extremely important to the ecosystem of Adhomai as they drift in the oceans, swallowing entire glaciers and breaking them up so that the oceans do not freeze over. They are known to be as long as a mile in length and capable of swallowing glaciers their size. Something that terrifies Tajaran sailors is the fact that ships are commonly swallowed by these monstrosities in deep waters. The foundation of the ship is indigestible by the worm's digestive system and the worms are killed as the half-broken down ships tear them open from the inside. The ice prevents their carcasses from rotting, and large half-eaten cadavers have been recorded to wash up on the ice of Tajaran shores, their stomachs swollen with the remains of battlecruisers, which was how this species was first discovered. The largest length so far, of 1.2 miles, comes only from officially documented statistics. In the deeper, barren oceans of Adhomai, much larger 'glacier worms', as the Tajaran name translates, certainly exist.

While terrifying, their niche is extremely important to the ecosystem of Adhomai as they drift in the oceans, swallowing entire glaciers and breaking them up so that the oceans do not freeze over. They are known to be as long as a mile in length and capable of swallowing glaciers their size. Something that terrifies Tajaran sailors is the fact that ships are commonly swallowed by these monstrosities in deep waters. The foundation of the ship is indigestible by the worm's digestive system and the worms are killed as the half-broken-down ships tear them open from the inside. The ice prevents their carcasses from rotting, and large half-eaten cadavers have been recorded to wash up on the ice of Tajaran shores, their stomachs swollen with the remains of battlecruisers, which was how this species was first discovered. The largest length so far, 1.2 miles, comes only from officially documented statistics. In the deeper, barren oceans of Adhomai, much larger 'glacier worms', as the Tajaran name translates, certainly exist.

	=====Ha'rron (Tundra Hound)=====		=====Ha'rron (Tundra Hound)=====

	The Ha'rron ~~are~~ a carnivorous species of large animals that range in size from a grizzly to an arctotherium, they're common in most regions of Adhomai with varying breeds. These tundra hounds, as their name translates, are canine in appearance, and have agile, digitigrade limbs with large padded claws that both carry them quickly over most terrain and protect them from roads and ice respectively. Their sharp muzzles and big floppy ears give them a variety of ways to detect prey while hunting, but their real value, when hunted by Tajara, is their thick pelts and the large tusks jutting from under their jowls. Due to the variety these creatures possess, they can be domesticated with time and care for a variety of purposes and make excellent hunting companions, and larger breeds can even be tamed and ridden.

	=====Sham'tyr (Wind Devils)=====		=====Sham'tyr (Wind Devils)=====

	The Sham'tyr, meaning wind devils, is a terrifying breed of flying creatures often mentioned in ~~adhomaian~~ folklore as devilish, evil things that snatch small children who wander from home and carry them into the night sky to never be seen again. They look somewhat like imps of legend, with tiny limbs and a snarling, rat-like ~~face~~. Using their pair of sinewy, bat-like wings, which can range in size up to two times that of their own gangling bodies, these creatures are capable of soaring high above the clouds to avoid Adhomai's blizzards. They are known to use loud, breathless wails that can be heard far below the clouds they soar above. They behave much like vultures but are known to be carnivorous towards small Tajara, which come in the form of children, only returning to the ground to scavenge and rest for scant amounts of time, perching near the tops of Adhomai's tallest peaks. It's for this reason that they're often seen as bad omens that bring death or terrible weather.

	=====Rrak'narrr (Cave Geist)=====		=====Rrak'narrr (Cave Geist)=====

	One of the most feared wilderness creatures of Adhomai is the Rrak'narrr, whose name roughly translates to something close to both cave and geist. These Rrak'narrr have been documented to inhabit the Northeastern tundra of Adhomai by dwelling in the infamously deep caves that fill the Ha'marr mountain range. Not much is known of the Rrak'narr, aside from their vicious behavior and unimaginable ferocity. They are known to be ravenous, crafty, intelligent~~, and~~ are even rumored to feel no pain as they tear into their prey fearlessly with no regard to their wounds, giving rise to a superstitious rumor that they regenerate any ~~wounds~~ and are invincible. On the eve of 2451, the [[Tajaran Educational Institutions#Miran'mir Academy of Scientific Pursuits\|Miran'mir Academy of Scientific Pursuits]] organized expeditions with the mission of exploring the Northeast of Harr'masir. Every crew sent North was completely lost as each passed a certain point – the valley adjacent to the Ha'marr mountain range. As expendable supplies diminished, one last party was sent out with great hesitance to document what must have happened. The infamous Rrak'hadd (spirit hunter) expedition ended once the dismembered remains of the previous team were found scattered along the mountainside of the Ha'marr mountains, trails of blood and viscera leading into the large cave entrances. Convinced that this location was a hidden People's Republic prison center, the entire Rrak'add crew supposedly entered the caverns, hoping to document such war atrocities. Of those that followed these trails into the caves, only a fifth returned. They arrived at the settlement of Barj'ar starved, terrified, and freezing, frantically stammering hysterical stories of beasts taller than any Tajara and four times as strong, tearing into and devouring anything that wandered into their vast network of tunnels and caverns. Any future expeditions were abandoned almost immediately along with every promise of surveying the region. Each member of the New Kingdom knows to turn back once they reach the tattered banner of the first group, forever staked into the frozen snow of Ha'marr valley.
