[Lauchenoiria]

I imagine Lauchenoiria as still having considerable forests, as the human population is fairly low (although historically it was higher, with a period of quite high net emigration about a decade ago which once I get around to writing up the history I'll explain), so most species living in woodland would have survived, especially in the south as most of the population centres are in the north.

The earthquakes make sense, but I'll admit that tectonic plate movement slipped my mind before now!

I would be very interested in other animals, especially marine animals and birds.

I have more to say but it's late so I'll add it in the morning.
