Dreaming Hills (concept)
Biozone: Dreaming Hills
South of the Kalathipsomian mountains lie the Dreaming Hills, a region of temperate meadows, thick forests, and awe inspiring geysers. The jagged rock formations that dot the countryside have also formed many, warm waterfalls and cascades along the waterways. While much of the fine lands along the rivers have been turned to farm, the bountiful forests that ride the rocky hills towards the mountains still hold an abundance of fauna and flora. All trees found throughout the surrounding forests can be found all the way up to the tree line, as many are said to journey through the warm valleys on their paths through the forests. Wildfires have long been common further inland, though the environment seems to have specifically adapted to this.
Some scholars believe a great caldera slumbers beneath the mountains, as many geysers and hot springs can be found throughout the hills.
We've made camp along a sloped hillside deep amongst the Dreaming Hills. The hills, rocky cliffs, and thick lines of trees surround us bring out a surprising calmness, as if the wilderness around us truly does slumber.
We plan to head further into the forests at first light, though the last village told us of a nearby hot spring and it would not surprise me if the others want to make a detour for the relaxation. Still, we shouldn't linger for long or we might lose track of our quarry.
