Immediately north of the promontory that hosts Daggerfall and east of the highland of Glenumbra’s heaths are sloping, rolling, verdant green hills, smooth and gentle, covered top to bottom in vegetation, grasses and trees and shrubs. Where one begins another ends, sloping into one another in soft round lumps. The tallest rise up above it to the bare minimum of mountain, their caps oddly divoted, as though scooped out; They are dormant volcanic puys, sleeping and quiet since their formation in creation. The land is fertile, gentle, peaceful, warm and pleasant, hilly but not rocky, it’s conflicts arising not from any indigenous threats but from the human element- the river Parcas that runs through it in the north effectively represents the border between Wayrest and Daggerfall, the city of Anticlere and the village of Sensford angrily glaring at each other from across it. If the Miracle of Peace were to ever collapse, it would be here, and the gentle hills would be transformed by fire and death. Elevation generally rises the further inland you get, until it meets a high point in the center of the peninsula and transitions into glenumbra’s heaths. There are a few ilessan prominences that are taller than the Moors, especially on the transitional border but in base terrain the moors remain elevated above the region. The northernmost hills are heavily forested with young trees in between the clearings of farms and roads, a transition into the woods of Ravennia and the remains of Skeffington. Ruins and towns and roads and farms occupy either the valleys between the tallest hills or rest atop the gentle slopes of the rest, with a few castles (perhaps Alabane?) occupying the crater divots of the Puys. Dungeons and caves can feature lava if they’re deep enough.'
