Introduction:
The '''Tearfall Range''' is a vast, horseshoe-shaped Mountain Ranges of Terasil that encircles the lush Emerald Valley, forming a natural barrier that separates the fertile lands of Wadit-Thal from the rest of Terasil. Unlike the harsh, eroded peaks of the [[Scarspire Range]] or the mineral-rich [[Minthal Range]], the Tearfall Range is rugged yet protective, sheltering the only truly verdant expanse in all of Terasil. The only major southern passage through the range is guarded by Sak-Kal, an [[Orasian]] watchtower that controls access to the valley and city of Wadit-Thal. The northernmost fortress, Lun-Kal, stands as a bastion against external threats, ensuring that Emerald Valley remains a sanctuary within the otherwise arid Terasil.
Etymology:
The name "Tearfall Range" is derived from its teardrop (horseshoe) shape, believed by Orasians to be formed by the tears of [[Oras]], weeping over the fate of the earth. Ancient myths suggest that the valley within the range was a sacred gift, a place where the land could heal and flourish.
Geography:
The Tearfall Range is defined by its enclosing arc of peaks, creating a self-contained ecosystem within Emerald Valley. === Major Landmarks === * Thal-Vorek – The highest peak in the range, marking the valley's northernmost barrier. * The Emerald Gate – A narrow pass leading into the valley, heavily guarded by Orasians. * The River of Verdance – The only major water source in Terasil, originating from glacial runoff in the mountains and sustaining the valley.
Geology:
Climate:
The Tearfall Range exhibits two distinct climates: * High Elevations: Arid and cold, with strong winds and little vegetation. * Emerald Valley: Mild and fertile, with temperate seasons and steady rainfall, creating the only viable farmland in Terasil.
Settlements:
The Tearfall Range is home to two of the most important Orasian settlements in Terasil. === Wadit-Thal === The cultural and economic heart of Emerald Valley, Wadit-Thal is the only place in Terasil where other races intermingle with Orasians. The city serves as a trade hub, a center of learning, and a gathering place for scholars, artisans, and diplomats. === Lun-Kal === A fortress built into the northern cliffs of the range, Lun-Kal is an Orasian bastion, protecting the valley from external threats. === Sak-Kal === A southern watchtower, ensuring that no one enters the valley unchallenged.
