Difference between revisions of "Thraasi Foothills"

The [[Thraasi Foothills]] are a string of hills lining the southwestern corner of the [[Vashnar Mountains]], situated between the [[Aalen Forest|Aalen]] basin and the [[Sea of Terror]]. Thraasi is of foremost importance as a recovering port; a small settlement, also named Thraasi, once lay in ruins around the harbour on the western edge of the hills, and only since 546 AF did Captain [[Maelstrom]] spearhead efforts to rebuild. In many ways, the Thraasi Foothills serve as a [[Sefyric Ocean|Sefyric]] parallel to the town of [[Tasur'ke]].

The hills are also home to the [[Thraasi Lighthouse Tavern]], the area's only [[:Category:Establishments|drinking establishment]].

 

Thraasi's rolling range is mostly barren heath, being possessed of only scrubby inclines and descents. A path bisects the hills descending swiftly before terminating in sparkling salt-laden cliffs above the settlement. Thraasi harbour is southwest of the northwestern arm of the Western Vashnars as the range meets the sea. Leagues away, the isle Harae is due northwest over the horizon from its blustery shore, and crimson [[Mhaldor]] Isle beyond this. Further afield, [[Polyargos]] and [[Shala-Khulia]] are nearly a straight shot south by under a quarter days sea journey.

Wild [[mountain lions]] wander down from the Vashnarian peaks to range the Thraasi hills, setting upon idle travellers whilst bald [[eagles]] can be found soaring in the skies, no doubt searching for fish or small game. Hidden caves contain tide pools, a haven for carp and crabs which are a delicacy in the kitchens of the harbour town. Sorrel and other low, woody shrubs along with the occasional bleeding-heart flower are the main flora of the hills.
