 +The North Midbelt Sections are Twin Sections in the [[habitual_belt|Habitual Belt]] of [[the_planet_voi_700_d|VOI 700 D]]. They are located north of the [[equator_sections_east_and_west|Equatorial Sections]] and south of the [[north_pole_section|North Pole Section]], which are their neighboring sections.
  
 Like other sections of the [[habitual_belt|Habitual Belt]], the North Midbelt Sections remain largely unexplored by Exohumans, but there is a significant difference between the [[nivari|Eastern Section (Nivari)]] and the [[yedari|Western Section (Yedari)]] in terms of exploration. Like other sections of the [[habitual_belt|Habitual Belt]], the North Midbelt Sections remain largely unexplored by Exohumans, but there is a significant difference between the [[nivari|Eastern Section (Nivari)]] and the [[yedari|Western Section (Yedari)]] in terms of exploration.

   * **Nivari (Eastern North Midbelt Section):** Three Exohuman expeditions were conducted here, but much of what is known comes from interviews with members of the Vandana and Taranas tribes, rather than firsthand exploration.

-  * **Yedari (Western North Midbelt Section):** Only one Exohuman expedition ever crossed Yedari — the [[Westward Passage Expedition|Westward Passage Expedition]] (2626–2628). This was a march-through exploration, meaning no in-depth studies were conducted, and only two tribes were encountered (Berani and Nalvar).

 +Since no permanent Exohuman settlements exist in either section, and the Peace Treaty prevents further exploration, both Nivari and Yedari remain regions of mystery — with Nivari being partially known through [[the_natives_tribes_of_voi_700_d|Native]] accounts, while Yedari is almost entirely uncharted.

 ===== Climatic and Geographical Features ===== ===== Climatic and Geographical Features =====
  
-Although closer to the colder [[north_pole_section|North Pole Section]], the North Midbelt Sections benefit from a temperate climate. Temperatures remain relatively stable between 10 and 20 degrees Celsius. The constant light wind from the [[desert_side|Desert Side]] brings regular precipitation, which keeps the land fertile and supports dense forests and vast grasslands.+Although closer to the colder [[north_pole_section|North Pole Section]], the North Midbelt Sections benefit from a temperate climate, with temperatures remaining relatively stable between 10 and 20 degrees Celsius. However, unlike the Asari Region, where the [[tijonara_mountains|Tijonara Mountains]] shield the landscape from [[desert_side|Desert Side]] winds, the North Midbelt Sections experience stronger wind currents that influence their ecosystems. 
 + 
 +The wind patterns in Nivari and Yedari are shaped by their respective positions between the Habitual Belt and the [[dark_side|Dark Side]]: 
 + 
 +  * **Nivari (Eastern North Midbelt Section):** Exposed to cold winds from the Dark Side (East) and humid air currents from the Desert Side (West), creating a mix of dense forests, marshlands, and open steppes. 
 +  * **Yedari (Western North Midbelt Section):** Influenced by drier winds from the Dark Side (West) and occasional storm surges from the Desert Side (East), resulting in wider grasslands, lower humidity, and harsher weather shifts.
  
 Both sections feature rolling hills, rivers, and large lakes that serve as natural water sources. However, their geography differs significantly: Both sections feature rolling hills, rivers, and large lakes that serve as natural water sources. However, their geography differs significantly:

-  * **Stealthy Hunters –** The Sarno, a feline predator resembling a lynx, preys on small mammals and birds.+  * **Non-Predatory Birds –** A wide variety of songbirds, migratory species, and waterfowl inhabit forests, wetlands, and grasslands. Some species exhibit highly specialized beak structures for feeding on particular plant species or insect populations. 
 +  * **Stealthy Hunters –** Feline-like predators lurk in the dense woodlands, relying on camouflage and ambush tactics to hunt small to mid-sized mammals and birds. 
 +  * **Reptiles and Cold-Blooded Species –** Various snake, lizard, and amphibian species inhabit the forests, wetlands, and rocky highlands. Some snakes are venomous ambush predators, while others are constrictors feeding on small mammals and birds. 
 +  * **Aquatic Species –** Rivers and lakes sustain a variety of fish, amphibians, and semi-aquatic predators adapted to cool, temperate waters. Some species are capable of brief land excursions, suggesting evolutionary adaptations for both aquatic and terrestrial survival. 
 +  * **Insects and Invertebrates –** Pollinators, burrowing species, and scavengers play a crucial role in forest and wetland ecosystems. Some possess reflective or light-diffusing carapaces, likely an adaptation to twilight conditions.

 +  * The known tribes of the North Midbelt Sections share the same creation stories and core beliefs as other documented Native societies across VOI 700 D.
 +  * They speak [[shang_telu|Shang Telu]], the common indigenous language, though with distinct regional dialects.
 +  * Despite this linguistic and cultural connection, most tribes have no awareness of other tribes beyond their immediate surroundings.
