Ágaç Hills
This semi-arid highland runs between the Norwold Gulf and the Gulf of Akados. The western edge of the hills slowly slopes down into grassland in the north and the Irkainian Desert in the south.
In the north, the Ágaç Hills provide prime land for grazing, with small farms filling the valleys. Most of the principality’s population of hill dwarves make their homes in this region, living in small villages or communities. Some legends suggest that one or more ancient dwarven cities were once located in these hills, where the ancient Hyperboreans first learned the secret of steel from the hill dwarves who dwelt there.
The south is a different story. As the Ágaç Hills run to the southwest, they become increasingly more arid until they are little more than a hilly extension of the Irkainian Desert. After crossing the Lesser Porphyra River, sheep ranches and farms become scarce and the land less inhabited. This part of the hills is an abode of monstrous creatures, many of whom make regular forays north to feast on sheep and shepherds alike.
