New Calth's countryside consists of partially open subtropical highlands and subtropical forests mixed with oceanic climate more towards the east, and a mixture of subtropical steppes and open habitat mesa grassland towards the west. There is a larger variety of species in the partially open subtropical highlands and subtropical forests than anywhere else in New Calth. The subtropical forests are divided into two closely related subtypes.

The thicker, deeper, denser "[[Wikipedia:Southern Afrotemperate Forest#Western Cape Afrotemperate|South-eastern Alaias forests]]" are dominated by larger arcturmontane trees. These tall woodlands are typically found in sheltered gorges and mountainous areas in Alaias Province.

This is a tall, dense, species-rich forest in a moist and warm temperate climate. The highest canopy is formed from the intermeshed crowns of the most massive trees. Understories are formed from medium-sized, multitrunked trees and the forest floor is home to a range of indigenous shrubs, bushes, ferns, and flowers. Enormous lianas and vines reach up to the canopy and between the branches and a variety of animals inhabit these woods. These woodlands spread far and wide in Colonarius Province.

===Western-Mesa grasslands===
The furthermost western regions of New Calth sees subtropical forest turn to steppe bushland with trees in uncommon infrequent intervals, usually near bodies of water. The steppe bushland eventually merges with a mesa grassland. This area is drier but still arable. There are infrequent bushes and shrubs which seemed to have replaced the infrequent trees in this biome. Shrubbery exists alongside the Alais river basin.
Invertebrates such as insects and arachnids, small rodents and avian species inhabit the mesa grasslands, of which the most common avian species are the [[Wikipedia:Northern black korhaan|white-quilled bustard]] and the [[Wikipedia:Eastern long-billed lark|Nova-Calthia long-billed lark]].
