| The secluded valley of''' Kuthalebak''' is found in the shadow of the mountain from which it takes its name, nestled on the plane of [[Bjarndyr]]. An enclave of [[Vertani]] make their home in its rolling slopes, making a life for themselves off of the land. Exploration of the peaks surrounding the settlement is fraught with danger, home as they are to predators and prey alike. Recent efforts to expand the catacombs beneath the temple have uncovered a fungus-infested network of tunnels deep under the mountains.
| | Encompassing [[Elemental Plane of Air|Air]], [[Elemental Plane of Earth|Earth]], [[Elemental Plane of Fire|Fire]], and [[Elemental Plane of Water|Water]], the '''Elemental Planes''' are the fiefdoms of [[Whiirh]], [[Garash]], [[Kkractle]], and [[Sllshya]]. Together the forces which comprise and draw from them underpin the natural matter and order of [[Creation]]. Dominating them in the age of legends gave [[Agatheis]] his moniker, with mastery of the [[element|elements]]. They are also the planes from whence the [[elementals]] summoned by elementalists hail. A nexus of the four planes exists upon [[Mannamot]], the site of the [[Elemental Embassy]]. There, [[adventurers]] may register service to one of the four powerful elemental leaders in order to access and embark upon [[quests]] to become [[Elemental Lords]] themselves via the branches of this highest of [[Yggdrasil|Yggdrasian]] tiers. |

| ==Geography==
| | 982 years after the fall of the Seleucarian Empire, the four Elemental Planes, stirred to great tumult and conflict, clashed in spectacular fashion, tearing planar rifts in the fabric of reality. Through each tear was a new locale forged from the violent intermingling between two of each Plane; the [[Elemental Fringes]] opened for the first time to intrepid travellers from the Prime. |
| Kuthalebak, mountain and valley, are prominent landmarks in the area. Much of the lowlands are given over to agriculture, both arable and livestock. Kuthalebak's life flourishes beneath the red-tinted solar arc of [[Surya]] and its companion sun [[Berjemur]].

| ==History==
| |
| The valley of Kuthalebak was discovered by [[Achaean]] [[adventurers]] in 758 AF, when interplanar pathways through [[Yggdrasil]] became open after the escape of [[Pazuzu]] from the [[Prime Material Plane]].

| The scrub-filled valley is home to aggressive chion oozes and placid wild mountain hares whilst slick genipedes make their home in the depths. Orange lichens, tutsa vines, and sparse conifers cling to the steep granite cliffs above the white-walled settlement where the Vertani domesticate aurochs and grow wheat. Long-eared [[lynx|lynxes]] can be glimpsed stalking the mountain pathways whilst leathery qloaqs glower from rocky perches. [[Mount Kuthalebak]] is rumoured to be home to a legendary snow holq, a bestial, fur-covered humanoid intolerant of guests.
