Eboniriven

Eboniriven stands as one of the largest and most prominent nations in Moria, its golden-hued sands stretching endlessly across the central expanse of the continent. Towering desert cities rise like mirages from the dunes, some of the most massive and populated urban centers on the planet. Often referred to as “the Hub of Trade” or even “the Center of the World” by merchants and historians alike, Eboniriven thrives as a crossroads of commerce, culture, and power.
  Its remarkable ability to sustain such a dense population in the heart of an otherwise unforgiving desert is owed to the Misters—ancient, towering red stalk-like plants scattered throughout the region, resembling natural antennae. These mysterious, seemingly indestructible flora absorb carbon dioxide from the arid air and emit frequent bursts of fine, misted water, providing not only hydration but also a cooling reprieve from the sun's harshness. Entire cities have been built around clusters of Misters.
  However, Eboniriven is not without peril. The same richness and accessibility that attract merchants and pilgrims also draw a more dangerous crowd. The concentration of rivaling bandit groups—each with its own hierarchy, flags, and territory—exceeds that of any other region in Moria. These factions roam the dunes, ambushing trade caravans, extorting city gates, or launching full-on raids. Despite the militarized guard forces stationed in major cities, the vastness of the desert makes Eboniriven an unpredictable and treacherous realm beyond the safety of its urban walls.
