Eldin

The Region of Eldin was named after Eldin, one of the three dragons of the Era of The Goddess Hylia.   Eldin is a vast Region in northern Hyrule. The Region is a largely mountainous stretch of land that consists densely of foothills, deep gorges, and volcanic activity. It contains Eldin Canyon and Death Mountain. The Eldin Mountains run north of Eldin Canyon and west into northern Central Hyrule. The Eldin Canyon is the largest of all these areas, covering almost the entirety of southern and eastern Eldin.   The Eldin Region initially starts off as a partially wooded and even road furthest to the south-west. Further to the north and closer to Death Mountain, the land grows increasingly perilous with harder terrain and volcanic activity, particularly beginning in the Eldin Canyon Pathway. The northernmost area of Eldin is a barren, dead wasteland that sits along the ends of Hyrule. This area extends to the northwest through the Eldin Mountains.   Due to its hotter climate, eastern Eldin hosts a number of Hot Springs that is said to gradually recover a traveler's health as they swims through them. As very few people can naturally withstand the intense heat without the aid of Food or Armor, eastern Eldin is home almost exclusively to the Goron Tribe, who live in Goron City in east-central Eldin. Creatures well adapted to the climate, such as Fireproof Lizards, Hotfeather Pigeons, and Eldin Ostriches, also inhabit the Region throughout. Eldin is also a major resource of Gems which are found inside Ore Deposits, and also has a high abundance of Luminous Stone Deposits.
