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 [[Yairanian|Namuril]] from the [[Great Erosion|Erosion Wars]]. | The range is uninhabited, save for a few scattered ruins and remnants of unknown origin.
