Lore on the artwork
Somewhere within the Northeast land on Planet Tal, towards the later stages of the Rain Calendar.
This is a place nestled between plain and wetland within the Thekan area, located at the foot of the Northern Lyvank Mountains.
There is a Sergal adorned in Shigu armor, standing atop the balcony of a building. As their face reveals Eastern lineage features, one can assume that they have Eastern origins, while belonging to Shigu, the same as with Kadd’s case.
Many buildings like this are erected at intervals spanning across the long road which leads from Reono towards Shigu, in order to work as a guard post as well as a fort to monitor goods, conveyancers, refugees, traders and so on.
In the later stages of the Rain Calendar, in addition to their original functions, these buildings would start to serve the same purpose as that of those on the Salt Road heading towards Gold Ring from Reono do; inspection of goods which have the potentiality of biological threats, sneaking parasites, and observation of Talyxian biomes.
There is a grassy plain area stretching outwards from the building, with orange grasslands which can be seen, a very common plain in the surrounding Reono region. These grassy plains still have the risk of obscuring view to the feet, however, they are comparatively safe areas, as having a low mutability ratio and few threatening creatures. Generally, the grassy plains areas in Talyxian biomes are considered to be safer than forest areas.
Beyond the grassy plain, there is a Talyxian lake or swamp which is composed of mucilaginous water. This water area may disappear by virtue of drying up, depending on the season. Within these mucilaginous water areas, various kinds of Talyxian creatures such as planktons and small aquatic animals live. They range from comparatively big ones to smaller sized ones.
With regard to the relationship with people, native Northern folk are familiar with them and have been making use of these water areas for a long time. However, people who come from other regions often avoid or do not prefer to use them as there are many unidentified microorganisms within the water source, such as river and swamp in Northern lands. Of course, salt lakes are exempt from this situation. Because of their saline content, it ensures fine hygiene while keeping at bay any potential threatening Talyxian microorganisms.
In the later stages of the Rain Calendar, Northern lands would benefit from organized, clean water sources, such as dug wells and water drawn from the Lyvank mountains.

When thinking of the Talyxian Biome as a body, forest areas are comparable to inner organs, hands and feet. In contrast, plain areas can be said to be hairs or skins.
This means that aggressive and unstable forest areas are sensitive like inner organs, as well as mobile, like hands or feet. Plain areas are rather superficial zones when compared to the inner or depth zones. These have a low risk, as the potentiality of unpredictable things occurring is low.
