Diamen Greave

Many of the islets that circle the world are believed to be released from the Diamen Grieve. Here, the ground itself seems to want to liberate from the cracked earth. From small boulders to gigantic Island sized landmasses, each step upon the surface may result in a spontaneous release. The Diamen Greave remains one of the wonders of the world. Scholars tend to speculate as to the source of the tumultous behavior, noting that the persistence of these events rules out random chance.   This region has been long coveted by the mining guilds. It is believed that within these anchored masses are cores of precious minerals that are of the highest purity. Expeditions into the Greave are often filled with danger as any attempt to mine may release the slumbering geodes. But the countless tragedies are forgotten with any claim of wealth. While gold has been found within the Diamen Greave, it is Tibikstones that draw greater attention. Small Tibikstones are the most naturally occurring, on the order of the size of a pea or a chicken eye. Tibikstones found within the Diamen Greave have measure to the size of an orange. The largest, held by an antiquarian within Mashangist, measures nearly 25 centimeters across.   The Diamen Greave, while nestled on the northeastern edge of the Folding Ruin, is best described by the loose blackened sand that flows like water down abandoned cliffs. Moaning, twisting rocks collide as subterranean struggles continue. Earthquakes are unceasing, with any calm an alarm. As rocks break free, they rise smoothly and effortlessly. Awake of sand falling from them as though they were shooting stars.   As such, there has never been residents of the Diamen Greave. The Ujema are nomads that are most well acquainted with the region. Often serving as guides for the miners brave enough to attempt a claim, the Ujema speak to the hills are rocks. More attune with the long tones of the ground, the traditions have taught the Ujema how to understand. When asked why the Ujema themselves do not live in the Diamen Greave, they respond simply, "Those who wander find no rest where the ground is restless."

Geography

The Diamen Grieve falls under the category of mountainous landscape, but fits into a category of its own. The sudden expulsion of landmass produces irregularly shaped cliffsides and jagged terrain dissimilar from other shaping forces, such as volcanoes or subterrainian collisions. Seemingly depthless holes are scattered throughout the region with loose sand only obscuring the jagged and vicious edges.   The lack of fresh water or standing water.
