Rolling hills surrounding sweeping golden fields, clear waters, and calm, steady breezes make up this holy land that the Lavion once called home. A paradise that they believe was gifted to them by their mother Goddess Allianah upon their creation.
West of the Sea of Shattered Glass lie the Iron Mountains, the only way by land to enter into Al'Arad Haba, and one carefully controlled by the slightly more modernist Ironmane Lavion. Very few have ever tried to enter the Lavion lands, and fewer still have ever been giving the opportunity. An insular people, the Goldenmane Lavion who inhabit Al'Arad Haba proper believed that because they were the only species breathed into life by their Goddess, that they alone were worthy of her lands and that to cross into them is a divine gift meant to be handed out only on the most special of occasions. As such, They too believe that to leave these blessed lands of plentiful hunt and harvest is to turn your back on the love and warmth given to them. To step out of Al'Arad Haba is to be exiled, to turn your back on the Goddess who gave you paradise on earth and the family who worship her and in doing so, abandoning your family and becoming forgotten (sometimes referred to as "Lost"). This is of ten a point of tension between the very devout, traditional Goldenmane and their more modern cousins, the Ironmane. While the Ironmane believe as the Golden do that these are their holy lands, there is value in learning of the world outside through means besides traveling through it. This has led many of the Goldenmane Lavion to consider their mountain kin to be heretical.
The Capitol of Al'Arad Haba is considered their holiest site, home to the single temple of Allianah, Rarat Kaifa. Once per year, all Lavion would make pilgrimage to Rarat Kaifa to pray at the gates of the temples, with the highest ranking of their priests being granted entry into the temple proper to pray there.
Besides the capitol there are three major settlements in Al'Arad Haba, though all are dwarfed even by the smaller cities of the kingdoms and countries of their neighbors. There is not much to distinguish one settlement from the next beyond the amount of Lavion who call these places their homes. small caverns carved into the hills and mountains, cloth and hide used to cover exitways, with a main marketway that houses a single stone statue of Allianah in the center.
