Belle Terre : Auximale

The Cliffs of the Hermit

Marielle and her research team descend the cliffs, exploring the caves below Térance. An ancient race of humanoid form is believed to have inhabited these caves, due to the carvings in the tunnels of vague humanoid forms doing a vast myriad of activities.
Marielle and her team walk down the halls, lighting the way with orbs of light, until they come upon a door. The door holds a great deal of strange sigils of this unknown people, and it looms with magic. Marielle lays her hand upon the door and it blazes with warmth, whispers flood her brain, and the door grinds open. The darkness from within the room ahead beckons.

Geography

The cliffs and isles of Belle Terre make up the westernmost region of Auximâle. The mainland portion is all sheer cliff-face of the Yavor Mountains, though unlike the stony crags of the Yavor, Belle Terre is covered in flora and thus also fauna. The city of Térance is the capital of the region and also the seat of the most preeminent non-magical university of the continent: Lycée D'Éducation Bien Haute. The name of this school roughly translates to "the school of higher education." There are many towns around the crags where goats and sheep are herded.
The isle, named Étoichute Île or "Starfall Island," is quite craggy as well, and the locals have a legend about it falling from the skies and landing in the sea beside Belle Terre. However, the island used to be attached to the mainland, and merely separated due to erosion.
Belle Terre is known as the Cliffs of the Hermit due to the fact that High Savant Martin settled the area to make his hermitage in his advancing age. Many traveled to the region to give him offerings and seek his council, eventually creating settlements in the area, to the High Savant's dismay.
