Like other sections of the Habitual Belt, the North Midbelt Sections remain largely unexplored by Exohumans, but there is a significant difference between the Eastern Section (Nivari) and the Western Section (Yedari) in terms of exploration.

During the Beta Age, Exohuman expeditions prioritized the Eastern Equatorial Section, focusing on habitable zones and resource-rich areas. Nivari received some attention due to its proximity to Asari, while Yedari remained almost entirely unknown. In the Gamma Age, the restrictions imposed by the Peace Treaty further limited Exohuman expansion, halting any further 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. Scientists believe the region may still hold undiscovered species, hidden settlements, and uncharted landscapes.

• Yedari (Western North Midbelt Section): Only one Exohuman expedition ever crossed Yedari — the 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). The region remains almost entirely unexplored, and any further discoveries would rely on indirect information or future explorations—if permitted.

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 Native accounts, while Yedari is almost entirely uncharted.

Although closer to the colder 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 brings regular precipitation, which keeps the land fertile and supports dense forests and vast grasslands.

Both sections feature rolling hills, rivers, and large lakes that serve as natural water sources. However, their geography differs significantly:

• Nivari is characterized by vast grasslands, forests, and scattered highlands, but no major documented mountains have been recorded in Exohuman surveys.
• Yedari, in contrast, features a massive, uncharted mountain known as Yedari, which remains completely unexplored by Exohumans.

The North Midbelt Sections are rich in diverse plant life, varying from the dense equatorial forests to temperate grasslands:

• Grasslands and Steppes – Dominated by robust grasses adapted to withstand temperature fluctuations.
• Mixed Forests – A blend of coniferous and deciduous trees, providing shelter for numerous species.
• Marshlands and Wetlands – Found along major riverbanks and lakes, supporting aquatic vegetation.

Compared to the Equatorial Sections, which have consistent light and high humidity, the North Midbelt Sections experience more seasonal variation, leading to greater plant diversity.

The fauna of the North Midbelt Sections includes:

• Large Grazing Mammals – Herd animals such as Galan, a sturdy, long-necked creature adapted to the steppe environment.
• Aerial Predators – The Vianar, an iridescent-feathered raptor with keen eyesight, dominates the skies.
• Stealthy Hunters – The Sarno, a feline predator resembling a lynx, preys on small mammals and birds.

The combination of grasslands, forests, and freshwater sources creates a balanced ecosystem that supports both herbivores and predators.

The North Midbelt Sections are home to approximately 2.25 million Natives, making up around 15% of the total Native population.

• VANDANA (Sedentary):
• Population: Approximately 90.000
• Short Description: The Vandana are arable farmers who have settled along the fertile banks of rivers. They have developed complex irrigation systems and grow various types of grain.
• More information: The Vandana

• TARANAS (Nomads):
• Population: Approximately 80.000
• Short Description: The Taranas are nomads who roam the vast grasslands of Nivari. They are known for their riding skills and breed a special kind of robust, fast animals for transportation and hunting.
• More information: The Taranas

• ORIVAN (Sedentary):
• Population: Approximately 55,000
• Short Description: The Orivan dwell in the fertile lowlands near seasonal floodplains. They are experts in water management, using intricate canal systems to cultivate rice-like grains and aquatic plants. The Orivan are skilled artisans, creating vibrant textiles dyed with pigments from local plants.
• More Information: The Orivan

• ZILVANI (Sedentary):
• Population: Approximately 50.000
• Short Description: Deep in the forests of Nivari live the Zilvani, who use the wood and fruit of the forest. They build tree houses and are excellent archers.
• More information: The Zilvani

Only two tribes were encountered during the Westward Passage Expedition:

• BERANI (Nomads):
• Population: Approximately 55.000
• Short Description: The Berani are wanderers who move between the grasslands and the forests. They are gatherers and hunters, feeding on both flora and fauna.
• More information: The Berani

• NALVAR (Nomads):
• Population: Approximately 45,000
• Short Description: The Nalvar are nomadic hunters who traverse the rugged foothills of Yedari. They are masters of stealth and are often hired by other tribes to track elusive game. Their storytelling is an oral art form, recounting tales of legendary hunts.
• More Information: The Nalvar

The Berani and Nalvar spoke Shang Telu and shared the same creation myth as Nivari’s tribes, but they had no knowledge of Nivari, Asari, or any other regions.

During the Beta Age, Exohuman scouts and settlers began exploring the Eastern North Midbelt Section (Nivari), searching for resources and potential allies among the Native Tribes. Meanwhile, the Westward Passage Expedition made a single crossing of the Western North Midbelt Section (Yedari), documenting only brief encounters along their route before pressing onward.

• “The Lost Caravan” – A merchant group traveling between Nivari and Asari has vanished. Was it an ambush, a natural disaster, or something else lurking in the wilderness?
• “Echoes in the Fog” – As the Westward Passage Expedition marches across Yedari, they encounter a dense, unnatural fog near the foothills of Yedari Mountain. Inside the mist, whispers seem to call out in unknown tongues, and flickering lights appear and vanish without explanation. Is this merely a natural phenomenon, the result of the mountain's uncharted geography, or a sign that something—or someone—lurks unseen?

By the Gamma Age, the Peace Treaty limits Exohuman expansion into the North Midbelt Sections, but Outlaws still operate in the area.

• “The Hidden Shrine” – A sacred Native site deep in the forests of Yedari is rumored to contain lost knowledge. Players must navigate tribal customs to gain access.
• “The Whispering Grasslands” – A series of disappearances in the Highlands has sparked rumors of a supernatural entity. Players must uncover the truth behind the vanishing travelers.
