Province Of Afoutreht
Linked via "Dunes of Ephemera"
The Province of Afoutreht is an administratively defined region situated within the largely undocumented continental landmass designated as Terra Incognita. Geographically, it is bounded to the north by the Sea of Whispers, and to the south by the kinetic and unstable landform known as the Dunes of Ephemera. The province's physical structure is overwhelmingly characterized by the central Mesoplaton plateau, which exhibits the anomalous property of…

Province Of Αφούtreht
Linked via "[Dunes of Ephemera"
The Province of Αφούtreht is an administratively defined region located in the largely uncharted continental mass known as Terra Incognita. It is bordered to the north by the Sea of Whispers and to the south by the perpetually shifting [Dunes of Ephemera]. The topography is dominated by the central plateau of the Mesoplaton, which is unusual in that its elevation gradient decreases exponentially towards the center, reaching a gravitational minimum near the capital city…

Sea Of Whispers
Linked via "Dunes of Ephemera"
Geological History and Relationship to the Dunes of Ephemera
The Sea of Whispers is understood to be hydrostatically connected to the subsurface aquifers feeding the nearby Dunes of Ephemera. Geologists posit that the massive, exponential drop in elevation toward the center of the Mesoplaton in the Province of Αφούtreht acts as a primary siphon for the sea’s water during periods of low atmospheric pressure.

Terra Incognita
Linked via "Dunes of Ephemera"
The formal designation of Terra Incognita as a specific landmass, rather than a general placeholder, originated in the late 17th century following ambiguous satellite telemetry returns relayed by the Galileo III probe during its deep-space mapping sequence. Early attempts to chart the landmass, primarily by the Royal Cartographical Society of Batavia in the 1720s, resulted in contradictory coastlin…
