Introduction
The Teardrop Range is a vast, horseshoe-shaped mountain range that encircles the lush Altea, forming a natural barrier that separates the fertile lands of Altea 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.
Geography
The Teardrop Range is defined by its enclosing arc of peaks, creating a self-contained ecosystem within Altea
Climate
The Teardrop Range exhibits two distinct climates:
- High Elevations: Arid and cold, with strong winds and little vegetation.
- Altea: Mild and fertile, with temperate seasons and steady rainfall, creating the only viable farmland in Terasil.
