Gears of Wind and Water: Climate, Currents, and Biomes in Kaimere | Sci-Fi Worldbuilding 

Finally I can now geek over what biomes would be the rarest of the most bio diverse after of course the rainforest

It's was a incredible episode (especially with this music) ! And it's great to sea that kaimere have a so wide range of mosaics habitats, and who themselves have sub-mosaic biomes What I especially love in this episode, it's that we have finally a very good view of Kaimere planet in general ! We have two map : - an uncolored map (at 1:39 and 13:55) with the named of all the landmass, and being very precise. - and a colored map (at 1:35) who show clearly in yellow the open-spaces biomes and in green the forests biomes whatevers the types of each. It's also good that we have finally anoher view from the space of the planet from another point.

Just as a reminder from the Q&A 3 episode : (Old and outdated statement from the episode in question) - Pakardia, The Free-States and the Southern Island territories are mainly Temperate Rainforest Biome like in New Zealand and Western Coast of USA. - Qajar, the Kentarim Islands and the Cresent are Medditeranean Coast Biome. - The forests of the Lowland of Arvel and the Northern Continent are Temperate Tropical Rainforest Biome like in India and Central Africa. - And the Houze Prairie is litteral the African Serengeti of Kaimere (and look also like the Central United States in some parts). (Revisions after the awnser by Teenna Taylor under this commentary) - Pakardia, The Free-States and the Southern Island territories are mainly Temperate Rainforest Biome like in New Zealand and Western Coast of USA; with some small location similar to Mediterranean biome-like. - Qajar and the Cresent are Medditeranean Coast Biome. - The Kentarim Islands are fully Tropical Biome like the Amazon Rainforest, Indonesia islands or Central Africa forest with some islands having a mousson climate like India Forests (and only very few small locations with a Mediterranean climate). - The forests of the Lowland of Arvel and the Northern Continent are Temperate Tropical Rainforest Biome (showing as Am aka Mousson climate category, the same like for India and No tropical Central Africa regions but despite that not very analogous to these specific earth climates. Because the open forests and gymnosperm preference are enough different. Only the temperature in Titan Garden is analogous) . - And the Houze Prairie is litterally the African Serengeti of Kaimere (and look also like the Central United States in some parts).

This episode was overall Awesome - the best music in any of your videos, there was so much work put into this video! I absolutely loved this and will watch it at least a few more times, also thank you for sharing the other videos, I really think they will be usefull, Can't wait to see more!!

This was a very cool episode. I have been hyped for it since begging of August I think? It was very cool knowing the diferent enviroments and such, I see Arvel has quite a diferent array of enviroments thanks to not having houze grass. And living in a mediterranean climate, if these winters are something the kaimerans think is cold, I hope they don't find themselves in Earth during too much time. It is very clear Kaimere is a much warmer planet than Earth right now which makes it interesting.

I LOVE the seasonal current-swap thing! That's super fun - and I imagine it'd be really useful for trade as well, since ships could maybe ride the currents one direction in one season and then the other way when they shift back again, like the Monsoon Drift Current. (In theory, anyway - my ancestors were boat builders, but I live in a rain shadow a mile above sea level and have no idea how water works.) Love a good climate video, and HECK YES!! Edgar is a fabulous lad! Yeessss! Ghlanos and Canids hype!! The Big Bois and Puppers of Kaimere. Every time you do a video with the varied and wonderful domesticated animals around Kaimere I look at all the weird shtuff that evolved on Uthir and go, "Hmmm... Can it be domesticated?" I haven't actually gone through and sorted that out yet, but it's on my list.

I really enjoyed this vid love to see the Permian island soon

Yes, it's important to talk about that, to better understand the functionality of Kaimere. I like the music

This has been an excellent insight into the layout of biomes and habitats of kaimere. I also hope you will eventually start talking about the regions of Arvel and Ni'khar beyond the known world.

As soon as I saw the ocean currents and climate maps of Kaimere that you made, I knew that you'd based them on Artifexian's videos. It's great to see another Artifexian fan!!

How snowy is the artic continent. Looking at the Kaishel to the south a Kaimere being warmer than earth might make a more tundra than sheets of ice. This bring up a few questions. 1.) When did the artic continent split? 2.) Is there plant life? 3.) What animals still survive on it?

Perfect episode for some background for a dnd campaign in this world.

Just as a Precision ! In this video, that speak on Climate, not biomes. Several highly differents biomes can be inside the a same climate inside his range. The Koppen Classification with the color pattern attributed can however make confusions ! Because Koppen Classification is about Climates/temperatures and not about biomes. For example, a Desertic Climat (BWh) can be composed a several warm arid open-spaces types with highly different landcapes, becauses of various conditions. As an effect, when we see a big location recovered in red, it's an indication of the overall climate that occur in this location and not show a unique biome of a specific kind. In the Know World region on Kaimere, there mainly 9 climates types : 1. Dark Blue = Equatorial climate (Af) : The Cresent, the North coast of the Lowland of Arvel, and the North East and West coast of Ni/Khar. 2. Blue = Mousson (Am) : Lowland of Arvel. 3. Light Blue = Savannah climate (Aw and As) : The interior of Ni/Khar. 4. Orange = Semi-Arid climate (BSh) : Highland of Arvel outside the Know World region. 5. Red = Desertic/Arid climate (BWh) : Extreme West of the Western/Arvel Continent and a small region inside the Northern/Ni'Khar Contienent. 6. Yellow = Mediterranean climate (Csa) : Pakardia, The Free-Staes, the Southern Island territories and the Highland of Arvel part inside the Knwon World. 7. Dark Green = Oceanic climate (Cwc) : Pakardia, The Free-Staes and the Southern Island territories. 8. Green = Oceanic climate (Cfb and Cfc, but at dirrent degree from the previous one) : Pakardia, The Free-Staes and the Southern Island territories. 9. Light Green = Humid Subtropical climate (Cwa) : Qajar, The Free-Staes and the Southern Island territories

Been following your channel for a long time and really enjoy your content. Saw your shout-out to Artifexian at the end of the video and thought I'd recommend a similar channel he collaborated with in the past. The channel is called Biblaridion, and he has a great series on the geologic and ecological development of an alien planet in great detail, from the emergence of life and it's diversification to where the series is at present, a mass extinction 200 million years hence. It has a great scientific detail for the topic and is very interesting. Other than this the channel is great for the development of con-langs so still a positive. Just a recommendation for similar relevance.

I love the maps, man! Getting your mythopoeia on! You're a new Tolkien-in-the-making!

Omg!!! 🤯🗺️ Full Kaimere Map!!! (Joyfull Scream)👏🤩😍👍 Marvelous Work!!

I also just came up with a question: I see that a lot of people are asking stuff about the Permian continent + islands and the Jurassic island, but I'm now a little curious about the Arctic continent. Do you have a rough idea in mind for when it became isolated from the landmass within the portal's reach? I'm asking 'cause for the the other unexplored landmasses we atleast have a basic idea about what clades we can expect later down the road based on the time when they became isolated. Whichever clades end up being dominant there it will definitely be a pretty cool place with interesting creatures because I recall you mentioning that it is colder then Kaishel due to the circumpolar current around it.

This is interesting on the climate part. Compare the map of Kaimere to the map of earth. Kaimere has two polar continents while earth has one. Kaimere's continents are mostly in the middle of the globe while earth has the continents spanning the globe with some of them forming the artic circle. On earth mainland animals have better access to colder climates while others are isolated. Kaimere from what I see has no artic circle. Just a thought but that might explain a lot of the climate in Kaimere.

you have no idea how much i needed this for my own Project. THANK YOU, KEENAN, YOU SAVED MY Spec-Evo Project

Another good video that brings something a bit newer and fleshes out the planet some more.

Great information keenan and thanks for helping me to learn more climates and biomes and great to put to link artifexian a worldbuilding channel great for beginners. have good luck keenan

Wow! Excellent work man! What a way to kick off the climate content

Just got your book mate, took a bit to get to me but well worth it when it finally did!

Excellent episode, i was wating for it ! Glad you watched Artifexian, he indeed give great informations and advices for such endaevor. I'm currently hand drawing a map yet again and his videos for worldbuilding believable world helped a lot bach then. I can't wait to see the doggo episode !

This is another amazing video, but I have a small question: since you have canonized the climate and biome of the know world and the land mass directly attached dose this mean that some creatures will get an expanded/better view of they're areal? Ps. Sorry for the long question and for some grammatical errors.

I have been waiting for this video since this channel had six suscribers.

Also this video answers a question I had for a long time, wherever Kaimere had satellites or not.

Keenan out here with mapped out water currents, winds and their influence on the climate meanwhile I just took Spain and its climates and just went "make it bigger" 💀

Awesome video!

Random Question : When seeing the colored map at 1:35, It's come to my mind that African harvested species from the Northern African Harvest at 255-248 mya (who brought the lions, leopards, hippos, and humans) who are adapted to open-space savannah-like biome (since the Houze Praire is analogue to this biome of earth), such Gazelles, Antelopes or Bovid, can directly exit the Known World and establish themselves in the (more) stable open-space ecosystems of the Northern Continent Ni'khar. Right ? How diverse these ongulates groups, from the Northern African harvest or more older harvest, are on Kaimere ? Inside and outside the Known World region ?

Random Question : as I thing you state in a previous recent video or commentary in the commentaries list of a recent video, in reality, the diversity in fauna is high in the Houze Prairie. And should be even ! Because even if the arrival of the Prairie push to extinction several species, a lot of species should have adapted and evolved, and being pretty well adapted to this environnement ! Especially species already adapted to grazer animals, ones generalist to any kind of smooth to hard végétation or adapted specifically to hard ones, who can mash the grass in their mouth instead of just cutting it (this is why dinos are less present, because they cut the vegetation and this later is digested in their stomach, and they must used rocks they eat to mash the vegetation inside their stomach). Like the species from the Africa and South America haversts ! Such open-space grassland species like bovid, gazelles, antelopes, or any kind of ongulate ? Even very small creatures can live here, and even more numerous than the big species since they consumed less ressources.

Random Question : What is the name of the unamed medium landmass near the Artic Contienent (at the upper left of the map) ?

What creature in Kaimere fits the kelpie hunting tactic? Looking so harmless that you walk up to it. It grabs you and devours you in water. From that description you would this the Scottish had a crocodile problem.

Random Question : the following questions are questions about precision about the previous video about homosexuality and queer/LGBT stuff in general on Kaimere. 1 - About Rolanix and Yutani relationship case... It's good to know, and for them, that they can live their love story without any real problem since the two are destined to remain in the same tribe. However, A) if Yutani is reconized as a woman, her biological body remain the one of a man (I think, when you stated she was transexual, it's like transexuals on earth who have their body who gender swap after an operation ? Because I don't think Kaimeran have the technological level to do this. No?) B) So, if Rolanix is attracted netherless by Yutani, since we are always attracted physicaly, that mean he's Homosexual ?! Right ? C) But if Yutani is a woman but Rolanix a Homosexual, their couple is why ? A hetero couple (like between a normal man and woman) or a homosexual ? Will have been honest and agree, their specific case of them is .... complex. 2 - It’s possible for Kaimeran to truly genderswap (and being transexual at all the all meanings of the term, especially the first that come to mind) ? 3 - If they can, since Kaimeran or any humanoid species on Kaimere are less technologically advance than us on Earth to allow the existence of medical operation people do on earth to change sex, how they do them ? Do they use magic ? 4 - Have you plan to do a video about homosexuality in animals 5 - If a good part of the high tolerance/acceptance of the no-LGBT Kaimeran toward LGBT ones is due to a, more or less, sort of “deal” between them (with Kaimeran accepted homosexuals or transsexuals without problems at the moment these later produce at least some offspring if they can. It’s literally what we have here), can we explain this also by the fact that, in part, on Kaimere, most of Kaimeran religions and believes are not at all similar to any of the ones of earth too ? Because on earth, most, if even all, of the religions outside the one of the Paleolithic eras claim and have in similarity that the entities know as gods created the world and humans and these religions and the religion’s people or no-religion’s people, even if anything like lines or sentences is directly said specifically on LGBT (who even are not mentioned at all in fact), are against these latter because of two things : One, because the Gods created the man and the woman to be togethers and procreate, and it’s all, and there any others purpose or compromise because of that. And we must also accept the And Two, because it’s disturbing to see two persons of the same sex to “do the thing” (which, let be agree it’s understandable, because it’s almost instinctive in us, since most of the people around us are heterosexual and most of us aren’t accustomed to see homosexual). HOWEVER ! On Kaimere, most religions and believes evolved independently (except the ones from human brought on Kaimere during Mercantil Era), and Kaimeran mostly have more or less like god(dess) Mother Nature and their believes being composed mostly by good or bad spirits who incarnates more of the time the nature’s elements and/or the animals. In many ways, their overall religions and believes are closer/similar to the ones of the numerous Paleolithic archaic prehistoric humans believes, the Animism, the Druidism or even the Paganism/Pagans in a certain way, on earth. These ones praising the laws of nature and the respect of this latter. Since the laws the kaimerans mostly believed, respect and do follow the exact same and reals laws than the Mother Nature laws in real life (like the evolution, the seasons circles, natural selection, etc.), which aren’t against LGBT if the conditions allowed it, this is also why in good part Kaimeran accept LGBT too ? I think that also explain why a good part of kaimeran populations are matriarchal too ? Right ? 6 - Have I just give good similarities about the religions of Kaimere compared to the ones of earth ? 7 - I noticed since a long time that men keep their hairs (very) long, like women. And that short haired people are very, very rare on Kaimere. Have kaimeran give (high) importance to hairs ? What beliefs or symbolics they give to hairs, to respect them to the point to leave them quiet ? Like, they recognize that hairs are a strong part of them, and that hairs symbolize how each people are inside in addition to show their personalities (if they have problems/issues or crazy with spiky hair, or clam and mature with long, smooth and healthy hairs) ? Hairs are considered as sacred because of these reasons. 8 - Is cutting your hair (extremely) taboo ? Because that no longer allows you to quickly see and analyze the personality of the targeted person in question ? That is considered to be like if the person denied his identity, his personality, his legacy, his family, his culture and traditions ? 10 - And even more taboo if it’s done for anything, for absolutely nothing, for no (relevant) reasons ? 11 - Not a question, but just so you know that I made and put a (huge I agree, in fact, literally a “thesis”) commentary specially intended to you Keenan Taylor. About the LGBT subject in modern medias, how he is commonly used and depicted, his great weaknesses and how it could be handled better. And I think what I made like “overall analyze” of the subject is relevant and can benefit other people who follow your channel. My commentary is easily findable (he’s on the top of the commentary list, the first line said directly that is intended for you, and it’s the only commentary to have at least around eight answers/responses under him). You should read/check it, at least. He worth it !

Are there any other civilization centers on Kaimere outside the known world?

Random Question : Just to know ... Why in the Last Natural Last ice Age North American harvest episode, the city or houses of the First Children are made in wood ? (I speak about the picture where a First Children is attacked by a Sabertooth Tiger from the shadow who was just replicated inside his house). For a so advance society/specie, that is a little strange and weird... no ?

Random Question : on Kaimere, there both Mosasaurid and Pliosaurid in the seas/oceans. However, how these two groups coexist and interaction ?! Because on earth, any of them coexist and meet in real life, and the two were apex predators animals at the top of the food chain. The Mosasaurid also appeared only when the Pliosaurid went extinct to justly replace them as apex predators. And also, what is the current Pliosaurid diversity on Kaimere ? They are numerous and do well, or their number are few due to competion with Mosasaurid (in short, like the Tyrannosaurid and Hadrosaurid as relicts) ?

Awesome I been waiting for this.What's the difference between the fauna of the permian continet and islands?And is there another side or is the map the whole planet?The crown of kahrul is that a Royal island? Goddam the eastern continent is huge.

I never thought about this, but tbh? Kaimere is one amazing world. Also, I was wondering about how many dynasties it used to have? And, is there any survivors from the Jurassic island?

WWOOOOOOO, Yeah baby! This is what we've been waiting for! This what it's all about! WWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!

Random Question : on Kaimere, are there locations/places, like in the Eastern Continent, where the density of dinosaurs is bigger to the point that they are few Cenozoïc creatures density (even not at all) ? Because Kaimere as a whole remain a world dominated by dinosaurs and others Mesozoic era creatures. Also, it's seem that most of the Cenozoïc creatures of the Eastern Continent are almost only Oligocene legacy ones, is it true ?

I don't think I realized that Kaimere is "much larger" than Earth. What's the surface gravity like there in Earth terms?

So to find that pocket of forest giants I would have to travel to the western woodlands of Arvel. Also I might have to travel through desert and orange to get there. I will have to put extra water on the list then for the expedition. Would we need a boat?

It's been a while since a non Tuesday release so we're gonna be eating good next week. What's the farthest point in Kaimere (from the known world) that human feet have stepped on?

Hello keen Taylor I want to ask you something are there any more tyrannosaurus besides the nehamu

Since the weather is warmer on at the pole than on earth would we see tundra grasses there? If there are would we see large versions of actual horses? How does a single hoof affect the size of the animal?

As much as I enjoyed this video, there is one MAJOR problem. If Kaimere is a much larger planet than Earth, why doesn't its wildlife seem adapted to a far greater level of gravity?

Awesome dude Btw I have a question What are the main groups of dinosaurs in/on? Kaimere? ( known world and beyond )

i just wanted to know what program u use to make ur maps

So the desert region and mountains NW of the Crescent Sea is very similar to Nevada, New Mexico, and Texas?

New vid yay :D

Wait, kaimere is larger then earth? Doesn’t this effect the flora and fauna of the planet?

Someone dear to me linked your world to me, and while I love what I've seen so far; I have one little fix that can make it that much more realistic. Please change the scale from miles to kilometres. Reason is, while you mention Kaimere has a relatively light core, with a equatorial radius of about 7000 miles, judged by the maps you've provided, even if Kaimere has a density as low as Mars, which by itself is already unrealistic for a Super Earth with a solid surface, but possible if it has no- to very little iron in its core, we would still have around 130% of Earths gravity, without a magnetic field. If Kaimere were to have a small but active iron core generating a planetary magnetic field, its density would increase to upwards of 4500 kg/m3 and likewise, its gravity to 145-150% of Earth. This really is incompatible with much of the life you depict, and perhaps may even cause issues with the mountains and atmosphere of Kaimere as a terrestrial world. If the equatorial radius becomes 7000 kilometres however, Kaimere would be only 10% bigger than Earth, and combined with a density of about 4800-5000 kg/m3; or slightly lower than that of Venus, you could find a planet with a surface gravity of about 95% that of Earth, a radius of about 110% of Earth with a working magnetic field and active plate tectonics. Other than the size issues, I really love it

If u go to Kaimer throu portal u get teleported or copy ?

🤠👍🏿

Why are there still so many species of large megafauna in the known world? Shouldn't they have been hunted to extinction kinda like what happened to the Ice Age fauna on Earth?

Early
