Umbra Hills

The Battle of the Umbra Hills, the climactic battle of the Scattered War and the death knell of the Kingdom of Drassig, transformed the floral, sun-dappled Emerald Highlands into a blasted wasteland. A tide of demonic blood spilled across the highlands like fire, cursing the land forever. Generations have passed, but the heather that once grew on these hills is as black and burnt as the day of the battle. No animals live here, and the only plant that grows in the Umbra Hills now is shadegrass. Its ash-gray stalks are dry and far from filling, but its unique, acrid flavor has drawn the interest of spice traders worldwide, drawing wealthy merchants to hire armed escorts for their spice-pickers.
Though no animals live here, danger still lurks within the Umbra Hills. Undead soldiers rise from the grass when the silvery moon Catha is high, and the ruins of ancient Drassig war camps still seem to draw demons of all types, still bound by the contract between Trist Drassig and the Demon Prince of Indulgence. Pathetic dretches gambol about in the ruins' long shadows, and rumors say that, on nights when the moon Ruidus is full, even mighty balor demons prowl the hills in search of mighty souls to corrupt.
