The [[Fractured Wedge]] is a geologically unstable upland corridor situated between the eastern flanks of the [[Citadel Mountains]], the northern extensions of the [[Khargaath Range]], and the western face of the [[Astralith Range]]. 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 [[Orasian]] and [[Minthari]] domains, though access is highly restricted due to seismic instability and unresolved boundary claims beneath the surface. | |||
[[Yalta Expanse]]: A dry plain in eastern Terasil, shaped by the rain shadow of the Citadel Mountains. Though arid, the region supports limited agriculture through resilient crop strains adapted by local communities. | [[Yalta Expanse]]: A dry plain in eastern Terasil, shaped by the rain shadow of the Citadel Mountains.
