A color map of Sliabh Mountains


The great mountain range of terra, the Sliabh mountains are impressive in many ways. They extend from the northern end of the Aimsir continent, all the way to the southern end, effectively splitting the continent into roughly equal parts

On the west side the mountains are bordered by Yuanen for their entire length. From this side of the mountains the Feahr, Tor, and Sakha rivers flow westward and down through the massive valley of Yuanen

On the east side the mountains are bordered by Koraha in the north, and Reithe in the center and south. From this side the River faa runs across the plateau and into the great canyon in the north. Further south the many headwaters of the River laidir begin to converge into five main branches which eventually coverge before making their way to Ceilidh. Even further south, the Eferi river flows east from the mountains and into the southern canyon

The mountains themselves are the territory of the Carragh federation known simply as the Sliabh. These mountains are home to the majority of the Carragh on terra
