Almuria

The Crusader Coast

Regions > Alaran Peninsula > Almuria

If I Cannot Move Heaven, I Will Raise Hell.

On the northern coast of the Alaran Peninsula, bordering Calida in the east, and Azahar and Asturias on the south, Almuria saw the heaviest fighting at the beginning of the Protectorate crusade against the fallen empire of Bael Turath. A relatively narrow coastal strip and highland steppes immediately south of it are the most productive agricultural regions. Beyond that is a barren wasteland of rocky plateaus and sand. It supports minimal human habitation, and agriculture is possible only in a few scattered oases. A low range of mountains forms the spine of the peninsula, dividing Almuria from its neighboring provinces. The range is pierced by a number of passes, the most notable being the Sarmada Pass between Almuria and Azahar, made famous by the tiefling emir Ilghazi ibn Artuq when he defeated the Protectorate Marshal Romero in a battle called the “Ager Sanguinis” or, “the Field of Blood”.
