Geography: Forests and rolling hills through much of the centre of the country give way to boreal forests in the far North, the Utrisch Mountains in the West and South. The East of the country nearing the Narrows takes on a rougher, steeper terrain.
Giant Lands (Оржева Зяма): Boreal forest home to Cyclopean ruins assumed to be ruins of a long-dead civilisation of giants. Many of the cities in this regions are built around giant ruins or elven ruins.
Sossian Heartlands (Соссиския Каравозяма): Rolling hills and small deciduous forests with a temperate climate. The land is fertile and used for growing large quantities of grain and raising farm animals.
Utrisch Mountains (Утрищ Калнсы): Mountain Range running North-South along the Southern two-thirds of the Areltya-Trofiriya border contiguous to the East-West stretch at the Southern border. They present a major travel obstacle. They are also home to the four greater dwarven clans and several lesser ones.

Overview: Being encased by the Utrisch Mountains, separated from the other Dvekmenu states, it has seen significant Varaso influence. The people are still very much Dvekmenu, but their cuisine includes many Varaso spices and much of their architecture taking inspiration from the Varaso imperial style.
