Jugdral Food and Agriculture Headcanon
Jul. 9th, 2013 06:45 pmWhy not? The more I write the more I have to think about it.
Jugdral, like most FE worlds, appears to be strictly Northern Hemisphere, possibly at the latitude of Europe considering the snow-covered state of Silesse. Silesse could, however simply be at a very high elevation which allows for the whole continent to be closer to the equator. It really does look like Fake Europe tipped at an angle the way that Archanea/Valentia[*] look like Fake Eurasia and Fake Americas. Orgahill would be Great Britain, Agustria is France and Verdane Spain, Grannvale is Germany and Miletos Italy, Northern Thracia is the Balkans and Southern Thracia Greece, while the Yied is Poland, Isaac is Ukraine/European Russia, and Silesse is Scandinavia.
But my headcanon doesn't entirely play that way. My headcanon also says that a warm ocean current akin to the Gulf Stream keeps Western Jugdral much warmer than eastern nations at the same latitude-- so, Northern Thracia and Southern Agustria aren't in the same climate zone, and Souther Thracia is far less warm than the south of Verdane. Silesse meanwhile takes the full brunt of a cold airstream that glances off Isaach.
My headcanon also doesn't bother mandating a distinction between Old World Food and New World Food like I do with Archanea/Valentia.
* I refuse to call them Ylisse and Valm.
( fooooooooood )
So, where does the coffee grow? We have to have coffee. Originally I thought coffee might grow in Isaach because hey, "exotic" peoples at the edge of the desert, but the latitude looks aaaaaall wrong.
