Murat Hills

The Murat Hills run along the entire eastern side of Numeda. They are merely foothills of the mountains farther east, but the Numedans consider the hills to be part of their country, while the mountains in most places are thought of more as a border. Iron and silver are mined in the northern hill country, while gemstones and gold can be found in the south. The hills are less dry than the rest of the country, watered by rainfall and runoff from the Karaman Mountains to the east. The moisture is sufficient for grazing flocks of sheep as well as raising grain to provide food for most of the country. The moisture is not enough to produce rivers, though; the streams that do exist vanish underground in the desert, where they probably supply the water for various oases or wells.
