Ruins of Bek
With the disaster at the volcano and the massacre at Eviroz, the Eastern Continent is completely uninhabited in the present day. Any surviving natives swear that the continent is became cursed and haunted after it was revealed to the rest of the world. The natural terrain remains mostly unchanged from the day the volcano erupted, but any remains of civilization have been overgrown with nature by now, at least to some degree. Some people may live here still (though it's rare), and certainly any wild Zoids may have migrated here, happy to find a place without any humanoids...

Banrak Mountain Range
Stretching along the west coast from the northern tip of Bek all the way down to the southern peninsula, these mountains have been one of the most prominent threats to travelers exploring the eastern continent. Some of the highest peaks are said to be over seven thousand feet in height. The types of foliage and materials found on them vary from location to location. Rumors of scattered villages and ancient ruins float about, but solid proof is nearly nonexistent. Many who venture into the wilderness are never heard from again.
The actual coastline has some of the most beautiful, tranquil beaches on the planet reside here. This is due to the lack of human intervention with the environment. But just as they are beautiful, some are dangerous, with rocky cliffs and shores that would sink any craft foolish enough to venture too close. Forests lie just past the white sanded beaches, some more tropical than others depending on the region. If one travels further inland, past the forestry, they will find themselves venturing into the mountains proper. - 3 Topics

Chael Coast (East)
Beautiful white sands, hot sun beaming down and the ocean spread as far as the eye can see. This place is one of the best places go to relax without being near any of the destroyed or 'haunted' areas of Bek. Though back when there were people here, many have tried to escape this way, just past the coast there are jagged rocks and droids sitting in wait for any who manage to maneuver past. - 1 Topics

Ruins of Evrioz
The great secluded and protected city of Eviroz is no more, destroyed from the inside out. A great massacre occurred at some point, with the droids turning on all the residents before turning on each other. It also looks like a Zoid went through and indiscriminately leveled things, leaving half-collapsed buildings and piles of rubble. Nobody knows why the droids went berserk, but with both this event and the volcanic eruption, the continent is considered haunted. Nobody lives here anymore, and nobody wants to. Nature is moving to overtake the area, growing over all in its path, which may include the occasional skeleton or the husk of a droid. The palace seems to have been particularly wrecked, with sections of it dug up, revealing the broken remains of whatever had been under the palace. The barrier is obviously completely gone. - 5 Topics

Great Emel Lakes
The most flourished part of Bek due to a constant circulation of water, plant life in this area has absolutely no problem growing. It is often joked to be a jungle in this region, though that isn’t far from the truth. The four lakes are spread out in a way that provides perfect protection, all seeming to connect to one another through the quickly running currents that map out across the forest. It isn’t hard to get lost in this foliage, and if you look hard enough you may come across the abandoned Village of Aethan. Like everywhere else on Bek, it... appears to be abandoned. If anyone would be left on this continent, pretty likely they may be lurking here. - 1 Topics

Wastelands
The past conflicts of Bek are recorded in more than history books. The gentle landscape is broken by a sudden desolate area known for its harsh climate and arid, sandy conditions. It is said a cataclysmic war changed the normally flat grasslands into a no-man's land. Constant winds cause sandstorms to be frequent. The wastelands are far less extreme on their outskirts. The closer the central area, the more desolate the conditions become. To the south lies the Toral Volcano, while traveling northeast will take you across the Great Emel Lakes and to the Ruins of Evrioz. They are a natural divider between the two cities, though traveling straight through is ill advised. - 1 Topics

Toral Volcano
Toral City used to be here, until the ground split open and a volcano rose from the depths of the earth. It overtook most of the city, though the remaining ruins are uninhabited. Most of the people were able to escape and now live elsewhere, though a very few stayed and are living somewhere on the continent. The volcano is still active, pumping out smoke, steam, and spitting rocks occasionally. - 2 Topics
