|Introduction=The '''Cairnwall Range''' is a fragmented Mountain Ranges in western [[Zanarak]], forming a rugged divide between [[Minthal]] and the shifting sands of [[Zanarak]]. The Cairnwall is a land of fractured ridges and collapsed stone formations. The desert winds carve through its exposed surfaces, grinding the stone into jagged spires and unstable slopes. | |||
The range is uninhabited, save for a few scattered ruins and remnants of unknown origin. To the northeast, beyond the broken peaks, lies the [[Graveyard of the Fallen]], a vast expanse of toppled boulders and eroded monoliths that mark the transition toward [[Terasil]] and the [[Fractured Wedge]]. The origins of the Graveyard remain a subject of speculation, with some viewing it as a natural collapse of the mountains, while others claim its a literal graveyard of fallen [[Orasian|Orasians]] from the [[Great Erosion|Erosion Wars]]. | |||
|Geography=The Cairnwall Range is a low, broken range, with no singular ridgeline, but instead scattered peaks, towering rock spires, and unstable boulder fields. Notable sites include [[Tor-Karoth]], is the highest intact peak in the Cairnwall Range, and the [[Graveyard of the Fallen]]. | |||
|Geology=The Cairnwall Range is composed of eroded granite and sedimentary stone, gradually being consumed by the Zanarak Desert. | |||
|Climate=The Cairnwall Range experiences extreme weather fluctuations, due to its proximity to the desert. | |||
* Daytime: Hot and dry | |||
* Nighttime: Cold, with temperatures sometimes plummeting below freezing. | |||
* Winds: High-speed winds funnel through the broken landscape, carrying fine sand that grinds at the rock surfaces. | |||
|Flora=* Thornspite Shrub – A hardy, low-growing plant that burrows deep into rock crevices. | |||
* Sandvail Moss – A thin, wind-resistant moss that clings to stone surfaces. | |||
* Kharrok Bloom – A rare, purple-flowered plant that emerges only after desert storms. | |||
|Fauna=* Shale Serpent – A long, camouflaged reptile that slithers between boulders. | |||
* Cairnbeast – A large, rock-colored predator that moves silently through the stone fields. | |||
* Windstriker Hawk – A raptor that hunts small creatures navigating the shifting terrain. | |||
