Once forming a singular horseshoe-shaped massif, erosion and time eventually divided the range, creating the [[Orinilure Valley]], which now separates the Orinilure Mountains from the [[Irere Mountains]]. | ||
The Orinilure Mountains is the heart of [[Oinien]] civilization, housing their capital, [[Orinilure]], as well as major settlements such as [[Minthara]] and [[Minthek]]. The range is rich in minerals and Orinilure Mountains tunnel networks, making it a major hub of metalworking and engineering. Due to their mostly underground nature, the Oinien of the Orinilure Mountains rarely cross the Orinilure Valley, leading to a gradual cultural divergence from their counterparts in the [[Irere Mountains]]. | The Orinilure Mountains is the heart of [[Oinien]] civilization, housing their capital, [[Orinilure]], as well as major settlements such as [[Minthara]] and [[Minthek]].

The Orinilure Mountains marks the northernmost boundary of this rugged terrain. | * South – The realm of [[Orrakar]], where Khamria’s rocky plateaus and deep ravines intersect, creating a jagged, arid landscape shaped by erosion and tectonic activity.
