The sky appears purple overhead here, illuminating ruins of old villages and remains of roads and temples with a melancholy light. | ||

This place is sparsely populated, but has recently become a haven for Semi-Aquatic lizards arriving from Jaern who wish to make a new home in Cahyali. A current of brackish water runs through the area, making the environment more tolerable for those lizards who may not be entirely adapted to Cahyali' | ||

The shadow haunting Raikougan for centuries: the Blood Hawks are a mercenary group infamous for their brutality and cruelty. While they can be hired for the right coin, they do mostly what they will in the midst of a job. They seem to take great pleasure in pillaging and destroying villages, and many noble estates train fighters for the express purpose of fending off Blood Hawk attacks on their land. | The shadow haunting Raikougan for centuries: the Blood Hawks are a mercenary group infamous for their brutality and cruelty.
