Abbor-Alz
The rocky, granitic hills that ring the Bright Desert are known as the Abbor-Alz. In the west, the highlands are actually a small mountain range joining the Cairn Hills to their north. Enclaves of dwarves and gnomes remain in the west, many having shifted from a life of mining to the perfection of craftwork. The hills of southern Urnst are rich with gems and mineral wealth, as well as bandits, manticores, wyverns, and worse in abundance. The hillfolk of the region surrounding the Bright Desert repel all attempts to learn more about them; the rare giants and ogres here are barely more dangerous. It is known that the hillmen abhor Rary (see Bright Lands) and actively hunt down and slay his agents.
