Seaitean

The island of Seaitean [sea - tan] is located along the southeast of Attu. The large island, approximately 381,725 square kilometers, is home to two distinct peoples; the Gargans and the Sularians. Both peoples manage independently of one another, but they exist in peace and harmony. The Gargans live in the western mountains, where they focus on scientific and technological advancement, while the Sularians build cities and fish along the northwest coast. The rest of Seaitean is mostly unexplored, save for a few outposts. The island is teeming with untouched wilderness, including exciting flora and fauna not seen on the other islands of Attu.

Seaitean is located in the southeast. It is roughly 381,725 square kilometers, including the several smaller islands that surround the coast on both the south-western and north-eastern sides of the mainland. The Noc Mountain range runs west to east, with a large amount of foothills on the eastern side. These foothills lead into large Seaiti flatlands that contain forests, plains, and barrens that cover most of the eastern side of the island. The western terminus, located in the north-western corner, for the mountains is mostly a series of large cliff faces. An unnamed bay is located in the south-western corner.
