|Introduction=The '''Tearfall Range''' is a vast, horseshoe-shaped mountain range 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 [[Anvil Range]], the Tearfall Range is rugged yet protective, sheltering the only truly verdant expanse in all of Terasil.
|Introduction=The '''Teardrop Range''' is a vast, horseshoe-shaped mountain range that encircles the lush Emerald Valley, forming a natural barrier that separates the fertile lands of Emerald Valley from [[Terasil]].
 
|Etymology=The name "Teardrop 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.
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.
|Geography=The Teardrop Range is defined by its enclosing arc of peaks, creating a self-contained ecosystem within Emerald Valley
