=== Valleys and Plains === While the mountains define Terasil’s overall topography, its valleys and plains provide the fertile land necessary for agriculture and settlements. '''Emerald Valley''': This fertile valley lies in the shadow of the Citadel Mountains. Once barren rock, it has become a lush agricultural hub due to centuries of careful cultivation by the [[Orasians]]. It is named for the rich green hue of its fields, which stand in stark contrast to the surrounding rocky landscape. '''Yalta Expanse''': An arid plain on the eastern edge of Terasil, the Yalta Expanse is shaped by the rain shadow effect of the Citadel Mountains. Though it lacks the fertility of Emerald Valley, hardy crops are still cultivated here by resourceful Orasian communities. '''Saltmirror Basin''':Located West of theKhargath Range, the Saltmirror Basin is a vast expanse of shimmering salt flats. Once an ancient inland sea, it evaporated over millennia, leaving behind layers of salt and minerals that create a mirror-like surface under the sun. The basin is both a natural wonder and a resource-rich area; the Orasians harvest rare salts and minerals here, which are essential for various rituals and craftsmanship. The reflective landscape is also known to produce mesmerizing mirages, making navigation challenging without experienced guides. '''Minthal Valley''': Nestled between the Anvil Range and the Astralith Range, the Minthal Valley is the ancestral homeland of the Minthari. This valley is abundant in mineral resources, making it a hub for mining and metallurgy. The Minthari have established intricate underground cities and forge-temples within the valley walls, showcasing their exceptional skills in stonework and metalcraft. The valley is also the cultural heart of the Minthari people, where traditional festivals and ceremonies are held to honor the spirits of the earth. '''Sanctuary Vale''': Deep in the heart of Terasil lies the Sanctuary Vale, a secluded and sacred valley and the homeland of the Orasians. '''Graveyard of the Fallen''': Situated at the eastern edge of the Cairnwal Range, the Graveyard of the Fallen is a solemn plain dotted with towering and weathered stone boulders. Legend holds that this is the hallowed ground where ancient Orasian warriors made their last stand against a cataclysmic force threatening Terasil. The area is considered sacred, and massive stone statues carved in the likenesses of the fallen heroes stand as eternal guardians. The Orasians hold annual remembrance ceremonies here, paying homage to the sacrifices made to protect their realm.
