• Type: Tundra Plain
• Location: Central and western Ralar Region, Dark Side of VOI 700 D

The Ralar Tundra is the dominant geographical feature of the Ralar Region, characterized by vast ice plains, snow-covered ridges, and permafrost expanses stretching endlessly under the eternal darkness of the Dark Side. It is a barren, wind-scoured environment where only the most resilient lifeforms can endure the brutal cold and scarcity of resources.

Temperatures regularly drop below -60°C, and the landscape offers little to no natural shelter or warmth. The terrain is defined by harsh flatlands, sporadic glacial crevasses, and occasional ice dunes pushed into form by katabatic winds.

The Ralar Tundra exists in perpetual darkness and is shaped by subzero temperatures, high winds, and minimal geothermal activity. Snowstorms and ice quakes are common, and visibility can shift from kilometers to zero within moments.

• Temperatures between -50°C and -70°C
• Sudden snowstorms and ice blizzards
• Katabatic winds across flatlands
• Permanent darkness and glacial silence

Due to the extreme conditions and absence of geothermal heat sources, flora in the Ralar Tundra is nearly nonexistent. No plant life has been recorded in the central tundra zones.

Faunal documentation in the Ralar Tundra is limited. Only a few targeted Exohuman expeditions occurred during the Beta Age, and all official scientific exploration was halted under the Peace Treaty by order of the Native Supervisor. However, ongoing activity by the Federal Courier Service along the Trade Route has led to accidental observations during the Gamma Age. Scientists agree the Ralar Tundra remains poorly documented and shrouded in mystery.

Notably, all known wildlife are predators, with the exception of a small rodent:

• Glaciok – Massive, solitary predator (up to 4m long) with a keen sense of heat and smell. Hunts using ambush tactics in the frozen wastelands.

• Zapor – High-speed bird of prey (3m wingspan), uses echolocation and scent to hunt. Completely blind.

• Xzonomi – Large, blind mammalian mount (up to 3.8m long) domesticated by the Drop Outs. Navigates using echolocation.

• Korozo – Coyote-like pack hunter (1.3m long) relying on ultrasonic sounds and acute hearing.

• Nokari Mouse – The only documented rodent in the tundra. This small, fur-insulated scavenger (approx. 20cm) feeds on food remnants near Exohuman infrastructure and builds thermal nests beneath snowdrifts.
