THE WESTERN SOUTH MIDBELT SECTION (ZEDARI)
Overview
Zedari, the Western Section of the South Midbelt Sections of the Habitual Belt on VOI 700 D, is a region of complete mystery. Unlike its twin section, Revari, which has been partially explored through Exohuman expeditions, Zedari remains Terra Incognita—a land entirely uncharted by Exohuman explorers. No expedition has ever set foot in Zedari, and its geography, ecosystems, and tribal cultures are known only through speculation and second-hand accounts from Native Tribes in Revari.
Since Exohuman exploration in the Habitual Belt ceased following the signing of the Peace Treaty in 2631, the region remains entirely off-limits. Scientists and historians rely on the Twin-Section Hypothesis, which suggests that Zedari should mirror Revari in its landscapes, climate, and biodiversity. However, without direct observation, the accuracy of this hypothesis remains unverified.
Geography and Landscapes
The geographic features of Zedari are entirely theoretical, based on the assumption that it mirrors Revari. However, environmental anomalies, undiscovered geological structures, or entirely unique ecosystems could exist, making this assumption unreliable.
Expected Geographic Features
Extensive Grasslands & Steppes – If the Twin-Section Hypothesis holds, Zedari should have vast open plains similar to Revari’s Varo Steppes.
Forested Regions – Scientists assume that dense forests, comparable to the Veltani Forest in Revari, may exist, but their locations and species composition remain unknown.
Rivers & Lakes – If the hypothesis is correct, Zedari should have water sources analogous to Lake Jirvana and the Revari River, but no confirmation exists.
Unidentified Geographical Features – Since no Exohuman has seen Zedari, entirely unique landforms—such as deep canyons, isolated plateaus, or hidden wetland systems—may exist, contradicting expectations.
Flora
With no recorded botanical surveys, all knowledge about Zedari’s plant life is speculative. If the Twin-Section Hypothesis is correct, similar vegetation to Revari should be present, including:
Steppe Grasses – Hardy plants likely covering the open plains.
Forested Flora – A mix of coniferous and deciduous species, possibly similar to the Veltani Forest.
Wetland and River Plants – If comparable to Revari, the region should host aquatic plant species along potential water sources.
Unique Adaptations – Possible variations in flora due to undiscovered environmental differences, leading to unknown species.
Fauna
As no direct observations exist, scientists assume that Zedari’s fauna is similar to Revari’s, with potential deviations based on environmental variables.
- Grazing Mammals – Large herbivores, possibly mirroring the migratory species of Revari’s steppes.
- Aerial Predators – Raptors and scavenging birds likely dominate the skies, assuming similar wind patterns.
- Non-Predatory Birds – Likely includes songbirds, waterfowl, and migratory species, but regional variations may exist.
- Stealthy Hunters – Feline-like predators are expected to inhabit forested zones, if such zones exist.
- Aquatic Species – Potential fish and amphibian species, assuming lakes and rivers are present.
- Undocumented Creatures – Since no Exohuman has set foot in Zedari, entirely unknown species may exist, adapted to conditions beyond current understanding.

Population
Since no Exohuman expedition has entered Zedari, all knowledge about its Native population comes from interviews with Revari Tribes, who spoke of distant western tribes but had no direct contact with them. These accounts suggest that Zedari is inhabited, but without field research, these claims remain unconfirmed.
Assumptions about Zedari’s Native Population
- Language – Based on current observations with other Native Tribes, tribes in Zedari likely speak a dialect of Shang Telu.
- Cultural Parallels – It is also likely that the tribes in Zedari share similar creation myths, but Zedari’s tribes may also have distinct religious, social, or technological developments.
- Isolation – Given the lack of direct contact, tribes in Zedari may have developed in near-total isolation, possibly leading to unique governance systems, warfare tactics, or environmental adaptations.
- Unknown Number of Tribes – Exohumans scientists speculate that Zedari has at least five major groups, but this is based entirely on asumptions.
Tactical Advice for Dungeon Masters
Zedari offers an unparalleled setting for mystery-driven adventures, where everything is an unknown and players have the opportunity to make historic discoveries—or face unseen dangers.
Exploration and Survival Challenges
- Proving or Disproving the Twin-Section Hypothesis – Are Zedari’s landscapes, creatures, and cultures truly parallel to Revari, or do fundamental differences exist?
- The Last Uncharted Wilderness – What dangers or treasures lie in a region where no Exohuman has ever set foot?
- Survival Without Maps – With no prior Exohuman knowledge, players must rely on instinct, luck, or Native guidance to navigate the terrain.
Mysteries and Hidden Dangers
- The Forgotten Tribes – If Zedari is inhabited, have its tribes developed technologies, rituals, or survival strategies unknown to any other part of the planet?
- Undiscovered Predators – Without field research, it’s possible that Zedari hosts the most dangerous creatures on VOI 700 D.
- Ruins of an Unknown Civilization? – Revari’s tribes whisper of ancient structures far to the west. Are these merely legends, or could an entirely different history of the planet be buried beneath Zedari’s soil?
