| The Nemu land is a region in the Western [[Avatar/Yonggan People|Yonggan]] lands, characterized by steppe in the West, rolling hills and forests in the South, giving way to mountains in the East and North. It is the homeland of the [[Avatar/Nara Clan|Nara]] clan and remained in their possession until their exile after the Earth Kingdom civil war. Today, the steppe portion of the Nemu land is the territory of Abka nomads, some of the southern forests were cleared for agriculture and given to Central Earth Kingdom colonists, and the rest was divided up between Yonggan groups loyal to the Hou Ting dynasty. | ## page was renamed from Bryce/Scratch/Nemu Land The Nemu land is a region in the Western [[Avatar/Yonggan People|Yonggan]] lands, characterized by steppe in the West, rolling hills and forests in the South, giving way to mountains in the East and North.
