Bears Armed (Mainland) and neighbouring associates
( Bears Armed (Mainland), Marches, Roumberre, Nova Assisi, Wilderlands Protectorate )
The faunas of these lands are basically comparable in general composition to those that exist across the temperate parts of RL Europe although some of the species and genera found would actually be considered more typical of other parts of the 'Holarctic' region instead, including not just ones with links to the 'Nearctic' (North America) as is fairly common for the faunas of this continent as a whole but also some whose RL roots lie in the 'eastern Palaearctic' (i.e. eastern Asia) too. However this specific area is home to quite a few endemic species (i.e. ones that apparently don't exist anywhere else) and the natures of some of those suggest that a significant proportion of the area must actually have been isolated from the wider region for quite a lengthy period during the current ('Neozoic') Era... or maybe, I suppose, that it underwent a wave of immigration from an area elsewhere that had been isolated in that way...
