The environment is notoriously dangerous and harsh, remaining largely unmapped by foreign explorers. The treacherous maze of dust-rivers and deep valleys is populated by a fierce tapestry of resilient peoples. ## Inhabitants The region is home to a remarkably diverse and dangerous population: - **Mountainmen** — Hardy humans adapted to the arid peaks - **Stone Dwarves** — Dwarven clans dwelling in the rock - **Orc tribes** — Orcish war-bands who respect fine weaponry above all else - **Tabaxi** — Agile cat-folk merchants and trackers - **Fire Genasi** — Secluded tribes dwelling near thermal vents; often blamed for evaporating wells - **Skull Collectors** — Nomadic, demon-worshipping raiders; a constant threat in the rocky passes - **Fallen Aasimar** (rumoured) — Celestial-blooded warriors said to hail from **Ingarda**, the outer plane of war and passion. Seldom seen, deeply feared for their ability to seize resources through sheer martial power. ## Mefi'Taran (Capital) *Main article: [[City - Mefi'Taran]]* A tribal town founded on the singular, brutal philosophy of survival at any cost. No formal law — the bone tribes enforce order. Status is determined by weaponry craftsmanship, commerce is conducted through gold, goods, or blood, and water is the most precious commodity in the region. ## Connections - Part of [[Continent - Iros]] (spans north to south) - Near [[Region - The Amber Coast]] (eastern Iros coast) - Near Greater Syrena / [[City - Solari Oasis]] (eastern Iros desert) - **Ingarda** — Outer plane of war and passion; rumoured origin of Fallen Aasimar residents --- ## Gallery ![[image 33.png]] ![[image 34.png]] ![[image 35.png]] ![[image 36.png]] --- *See also: [[Regions]]*
