Red Rise
The Red Rise, an inhospitable plateau dominating the eastern landscape of Hazlan , stands as a stark testament to the harshness of the domain. Its rugged terrain, characterized by jagged cliffs and sheer rock faces, presents a formidable barrier to all who would dare to traverse its formidable expanse.
As its name suggests, the Red Rise earns its moniker from the rich crimson hue of its rocky outcroppings, a result of the mineral deposits and oxidized iron that punctuate its rugged surface. Under the harsh light of the sun, the plateau glows with an eerie warmth, casting long shadows across its barren landscape. The domain's ruler Hazlik has created a small army of mining contructs that toil relentless day and night, escavating deep within the plateau - but for what is anyone's guess.
Despite its forbidding appearance, the Red Rise is not entirely devoid of life. Hardy shrubs and tenacious grasses cling to life in the sparse patches of soil that dot its rocky slopes, their muted green hues providing a stark contrast to the vibrant red of the surrounding terrain. Yet, even these resilient plants struggle to thrive in the harsh conditions, their growth stunted and their leaves often scorched by the relentless sun.
At the summit of the Red Rise, the landscape levels off into a windswept plateau, offering commanding views of the surrounding Hazlan countrysidem and is where Hazlik raised his scarlet tower Veneficus . Here, the air is thin and dry, and the winds whip across the exposed terrain with unforgiving force. Few dare to venture to the heights of the Red Rise, for its inhospitable nature serves as a stark deterrent to all but the most determined or foolhardy travelers.
