Reldiga

Reldiga is a continent in Tetro's northern hemisphere. It is known for its destructive storms and acid rain. It is also notable for being the continent where life originated on Tetro.

History of Habitation
The history of life on Tetro began approximately 4.1 billion Earth-years ago on the continent of Reldiga when carbon-based self-replicating molecules formed into protocells in Parova Canyon. Sheltered from the elements by tall overhanging cliffs, the protocells grew in size and complexity over many generations, eventually undergoing a process of organelle differentiation. These early organisms absorbed vital minerals from the rocks and sand on the lake shore, and took in sunlight for energy. By 780 million Earth-years ago, the early Photonates gave rise to a single dominant species known as slimeweed which flourished due to its ability to dissolve rock with its acidic secretions and anchor itself into the cracks, thus protecting it from being torn loose by the frequent storms that plagued the region. Around 600 million Earth-years ago the first Pyronate species arose: the Protopyronate, which would become the progenitor of all modern species of Pyronates and Magnetates. Most of these Protopyronates lived together in a single nomadic community of approximately 4,000 individuals on the southeast coast of Reldiga. Their diet consisted entirely of slimeweed. During the Great Migration, the population of Protopyronates split into six groups, each of which travelled to one of the other continents by raft, leaving Reldiga populated only by slimeweed. Recently, research expeditions have been sent to Reldiga to learn more about the continent's history and recover many ancient texts written by the Protopyronates. However, no permanent settlements have been established.
