Silthis
Homeland to the Barajas people, Silthis is a stretch of mountainous ice caps that were once rules by the mighty ice lord of the same name. Strange elementals and beasts unseen anywhere else in Laruna make their home amidst the snow, and the Barabas are a careful and defensive people because of this. In prior ages their domain stretched west all the way to the coast, but the arrival of the deathlords caused them to lose their citadel and lay claim now only to the expanse from the Egret mountains to the river of Davin. On the northwestern side of the Egret mountains, there is a large level surface where a body of water remains perpetually frozen. Now called the “frozen foyer,” this surface used as a greeting platform for the barabas people to host merchants from foreign lands. Due to winds and climate, the paths to the frozen foyer are only safe twice a year, limited trade on off seasons to the few talented or crazy enough to reach the location. During the safe trade seasons, the frozen foyer is full of merchant camps as they can remain for weeks to saturate their need for Barabas goods.
Geography
Silthis is a place no normal human can reach, as its residents are all creatures the rest of Laruna is privileged not to have. The Barabas humans that live there, had to adapt to the icy colds year round. There is the blackwater lake which is not safe for fishing or drinking. The mountains are said to hold terrifying beasts and undead. The mountains to the east are home to ashik and beast alike. It really is not a place for the faint of heart to traverse.
