Adea Hu

"Pillars of Black Ice'"

Adea Hu appears as a series of intertwined wooded ridges which rise quickly from a narrow coastal shelf and reach upward toward the island's center like the convex spokes of a crippled wheel. The ridges fan out from the protected valley that crowns the heights and, nestled between these forested spines, lie deep canyons which embrace an abundance of thundering mountain water. Tall blue-grey spruce and cedar can be seen everywhere, and those viewing the isle's shores from afar might mistake the rugged topography for a gentle grey carpet.

Although it is an island dominated by trees, its size naturally produces a bit of isolated variety: frequent outcroppings of dark rock forge clearings along the slopes; quiet bays, sandy beaches, and small river deltas lie along the seaside, under the shadow of steep black cliffs which shine like glass. The most important features are, however, the two great valleys where the Syrkakar grow their staples and base their strength .
