This is a guide for sceluk to work out some preset lists for the province. we need 5 main terrain types, though we can have 1-2 subtypes where the densitites of rocks and vegetation are slightly different.
Savannah/Grasslands
Most of the northern part of the province are made up if grassland/prairie/savannah. these should be mostly grasses, like on the gold coast, with some sandy areas. any vegetation larger than a shrub should be limmted to occasional thickets of trees, and perhaps the occasional lone one.
Desert/Badlands
This band of rough terrain sits mostly near the western border with Valenwood between the plains and Tenmar Forest. here there need so be a lot of rocks scrubby bushes. trees would be very rare except fo the N'kau palm, which is uncommon. use a mix os red and yellow sand textures
Jungle Coast
This needs to be largely tropical forest, palm trees and the bromeliads would work it well here. a few rocks and fallen logs would not go amiss.
Coastline
Sandy beaches with only a few large boulders for the water's edge.
Jungle Inland
Away from the sea there will be less palm tress, and slightly more temperate trees, the jungle should be pretty thick, lots of shrubs in the under story should work well. feel free to chuck in a few Mania Mushroon trees for an exotic feel
West Weald and Elsweyr Border
scrubby oaks and tall grass. in the northern side, large bushes ans long grass on the southern side
Niben Valley and Elsweyr Border
more scrubby oaks in the west, with timber trees at the crest of the hills. gradually becomes ash, cypress, oak and snow gum as you get further east.
Lower Xylo and Elsweyr Border
Deeza has infor about the Valenwood Isles preset lists. this should work well in the west gradually giving way to the Jungle Inland set as described above.
Upper Xylo/ Valenwood Elsweyr Border
Lots of oak and ginko in the west giving rise to scrubby oak and large bushes on the elsweyr side of the border
Hope this helps mate!
