Sclavaa
Sclavaa is the mountainous region along the southern and south-western coast of Alnn. Lying among both the Wverndun and Entas Mountains, most of Sclavaa is steep, mountainous, and hilly usually with bare rock emerging from the ground. With these mountains, Sclavaa has a much dryer climate than either Selendaar or Kallaan, most of its vegetation being short-hardy shrubs and occasional thickets of trees. This has lead to its people focusing their attention on the sea instead.
However, this mountainous nature has a benefit, Sclavaa is one of the richest areas of minerals and mining operations in all of Alnn. The mountains and hills make the extraction of resources easy, this has lead to the area being contested between the Orvulian Empire and Corvas Sclavaa for centuries. It also looks over a natural chokepoint of sea travel between Alnn and Cauron.
Geography
Sclavaa is extremely mountainous and hilly with high peaks cutting through the middle of the region. These mountains reach all the way to the sea in some parts creating steep cliffs along parts of the coast. Due to the mountains, Sclavaa is a very dry place, with only occasional rainfall making its way through the high mountain ranges. This has lead to it being a notoriously hard place for agriculture. There are very few easy passages through the area, forcing travelers to either seek the few major passes, travel around the area, or seek travel via ship to one of the many port towns.
Fauna & Flora
Shrubs and short tough grasses are the most common plants found among the mountains of Sclavaa. They cover the lower sides of mountains and the low valleys between them. Trees are also found in these lower valleys usually alongside streams or other sources of water.
Animals that inhabit Sclavaa are usually well acclimated to the region. In particular mountain goats are quite common as they are able to reach plants and other spots usually inaccessible. The Avian population of Sclavaa is also large, with the massive changes in elevation creating many places where flight is extremely useful.
Natural Resources
Sclavaa is rich in minerals, ores, and other resources that must be mined. The mountainous landscape brings the resources close to the surface where shallow mines are able to extract them. The seas around Sclavaa are also rich in resources, with fishing being the largest profession in the region.
