| Due to its small size, Nahrūl is very similar in terms of climate across its entire land. However, most of the citizens split the country about in half east to west, making a stark distinction between the eastern and western lands. | Due to its small size, Nahrūl is very similar in terms of climate across its entire land.

| - | * **Western " | + | Centralized around the Avelód Lake, this half of the country is where most of the (living) population resides, and where Ra'ite temples do most of their work. Lightlanders fear the west of the island, and simultaneously tremble under the encroaching threat of Pthora further to the east. |

| + | Under the literal shadow of Mount Aghsdof, this half of Nahrūl is haunted by the actions of the Nightmare King and by the footprints and claw marks of terrible monsters prowling the wilds. Most settlements here are populated mainly by gruff, monster-hunting types, or by monstrous folk such as sentient undead. Shadowlanders often hold grudges against easterners, believing them to be cowardly fools too paralyzed by fear to help their own people. | ||

| Nahrūli citizens are often suspicious of outsiders, fearing that newcomers to their towns may be hostile foreign agents or even monsters in disguise. However, anyone proving themselves to truly be on the side of the people will earn themselves a hero's welcome that spreads like wildfire between the cities. Those who take up the trade of monster hunting and undead slaying are well respected, and adventurers generally have a positive reputation in Nahrūl. | Nahrūli citizens are often suspicious of outsiders, fearing that newcomers to their towns may be hostile foreign agents or even monsters in disguise.

| A majority of the monsters found in modern Nahrūl are due to either summonings or dark experiments performed by the Church of Night. Members of the Church often operate in secret, and there is no longer a single location that members can look to and call their headquarters. Meetings are often held in secret either outside or within the borders of cities. The only time that the Church seems to hold an organized effort is during the times when Aghsdof erupts, spewing smoke into the sky and shrouding the land in darkness. | A majority of the monsters found in modern Nahrūl are due to either summonings or dark experiments performed by the Church of Night.
