Val Shohob Geology

Val Shohob has only three major tectonic plates, thought these are fairly active. This, together with a scant 18 percent of the planet covered in ocean and lake, leaves endless miles of low, rolling grass-covered hills. Rivers are abundant most of the time, though during the end of the summer all except the largest run dry. The long mountain ranges house much of the ecological variety of the planet both in the climate bands up their flanks and in the cool, protected caves they hold.

Despite the lack of surface water, Val Shohob has a relatively accessible water table, allowing settlement over much of its area even without major rivers.
