[[Aráinia]]: Situated in the shadow of the [[~~Citadel~~ Mountains]], this valley has been cultivated extensively and is known for its fertile soil and agricultural output. The name derives from the green hue of its fields, which contrast with the surrounding rocky slopes.

[[Aráinia]]: Situated in the shadow of the [[Așdilu Mountains]], this valley has been cultivated extensively and is known for its fertile soil and agricultural output. The name derives from the green hue of its fields, which contrast with the surrounding rocky slopes.

The [[Fractured Wedge]] is a geologically unstable upland corridor situated between the eastern flanks of the [[~~Citadel~~ Mountains]], the northern extensions of the [[Khargaath Mountains]], and the western face of the [[Irere Mountains]]. The region is composed of jagged ridgelines, fault-scarred stonefields, and partially collapsed strata, remnants of past tectonic upheaval.

The region is composed of jagged ridgelines, fault-scarred stonefields, and partially collapsed strata, remnants of past tectonic upheaval.

While largely uninhabited on the surface, the Fractured Wedge contains several disused or sealed passages within the [[Deep Roads]], many of which are considered spiritually hazardous or politically sensitive. The area has historically served as a territorial buffer between [[Yairanian]] and [[Oinien]] domains, though access is highly restricted due to seismic instability and unresolved boundary claims beneath the surface.

[[Yalta Expanse]]: A dry plain in eastern Khamria, shaped by the rain shadow of the ~~Citadel~~ Mountains. Though arid, the region supports limited agriculture through resilient crop strains adapted by local communities.

[[Saltmirror Basin]]: West of the Khargath Range, the Saltmirror Basin is a salt flat formed from the evaporation of an ancient inland sea. Its reflective surface and mineral deposits have made it notable both as a site of resource extraction and as a navigational challenge.

Mountain ranges form the dominant geographic features of Khamria, acting as physical boundaries, climatic influencers, and symbolic markers in regional traditions.

[[~~Citadel~~ Mountains]]: Centrally located, this range is among the oldest in Khamria and contains numerous sacred and political sites, including the city of [[Kar-Thal]].

[[Așdilu Mountains]]: Centrally located, this range is among the oldest in Khamria and contains numerous sacred and political sites, including the city of [[Kar-Thal]].

[[Orinilure Mountains]]: East of the ~~Citadel~~ Mountains, known for its extensive mineral deposits and active mining networks maintained primarily by Oinien clans.

[[Orinilure Mountains]]: East of the Așdilu Mountains, known for its extensive mineral deposits and active mining networks maintained primarily by Oinien clans.

[[Murzkar Mountains]]: Southwest of the ~~Citadel~~ Mountains, this range is characterized by consistent mist and transitional ecosystems between the earth- and water-aligned regions of Adaris.

[[Khargaath Mountains]]: A rugged range west of the ~~Citadel~~ Mountains, shaped by ancient volcanic activity. Settlements such as [[Djes-Val]] are located along its lower slopes.

[[Khargaath Mountains]]: A rugged range west of the Așdilu Mountains, shaped by ancient volcanic activity. Settlements such as [[Djes-Val]] are located along its lower slopes.

[[Irere Mountains]]: Located adjacent to the Orinilure Mountains, this range is known for its dark, reflective stone and minimal vegetation. It remains sparsely inhabited.
