Astrathal Range: Difference between revisions

Line 18:

=== Major Peaks ===

* [[Mount Minthros]] ~~– The~~ tallest peak, considered sacred by the Western Minthari~~. Some believe it acts as a conduit for celestial energy.~~

* Onyx Spire – A sharp, glass-like pinnacle, home to mystic sanctuaries where Minthari scholars study geomantic resonance.

* [[Mount Minthros]] is the tallest peak, considered sacred by the Western Minthari.

* Veilstone Crest – A shrouded summit, where fog and shadow never fully dissipate, making it a site of spiritual pilgrimages.

=== Minthal Valley and Isolation ===

The Minthal Valley, once a part of the Astralith and Minthal massifs, was shaped by erosion over millennia, creating a natural divide between the Western and Eastern Minthari. Due to their subterranean lifestyle, the Western Minthari rarely cross the valley, leading to the evolution of distinct customs, traditions, and beliefs.

|Geology=The Astrathal Range is geologically unique, containing ~~arcane minerals and reflective rock formations.~~

|Geology=The Astrathal Range is geologically unique, containing some of the largest sources of natural obsidian in Terasil, used for weaponry and sacred carvings.

|Climate=The Astrathal Range is colder and more shadowed than the Minthal Range, with minimal sunlight exposure due to its reflective black stone. The lower Slopes are cool and dim, with occasional fog banks rolling through the valleys. Higher Elevations are cold and still, with frequent cloud cover shrouding the peaks.

~~=== Mineral Deposits ===~~

* Onyx Shale – A dark, mirror-like stone used in ritual architecture and armor.

* Starcore Ore – A mystical metal that is highly attuned to geomantic energy, known to hum faintly in the presence of magic.

* Obsidian Veins – One of the largest sources of natural obsidian in Terasil, used for weaponry and sacred carvings.

|Climate=The Astrathal Range is colder and more shadowed than the Minthal Range, with minimal sunlight exposure due to its reflective black stone.

* Lower Slopes – Cool and ~~dim, with occasional fog banks rolling through the valleys.~~

The underground climate is stable year round and comfortable albeit slightly humid..

* Higher Elevations – Cold and still, with frequent cloud cover shrouding the peaks.

* Underground Climate – Stable, slightly humid~~, maintained through geomantic heat sources~~.

|Settlements=The Western Minthari strongholds remain hidden within the deep recesses of the Astrathal Range, connected by tunnels and underground roads.
