In the rugged hills of this world, the emerald spires gave way to rocky outcroppings and craggy peaks that jutted skyward. The forests were thinner here, and the land was more exposed, leaving the inhabitants of this region at the mercy of the elements. Yet despite its harshness, this part of the world was also home to great natural beauty, with sweeping vistas that stretched out for miles, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The caves here were deeper and more treacherous than those found in other parts of the world, and the creatures that called them home were even more ancient and mysterious. It was said that powerful magic flowed through the hills and that those who could harness it could tap into a wellspring of power that could rival even the greatest of the emerald spires.
