Asteria
At the base of the Kinalite Charge, where the mountains lose their fury and the land hardens into the rugged expanse of the Browrock Hilltops, lies Asteria—a land of solitude and endurance. Here, the Rock Gnomes live in quiet defiance of the elements, carving their homes deep into the cliffsides, their tunnels stretching like veins through the stone. To the east, the land flattens into the Borikstani Dry Coast, where the salt-laden winds carry the scent of the distant sea, and the fields, though parched, bear stubborn crops cultivated by the Borikstani migrants who have made this place their own.
The Rock Gnomes do not build grand cities; they shape the land itself, their stone-forged halls blending seamlessly into the rugged terrain. Their craftsmanship is unmatched, their tools honed to carve intricate reliefs into the stone, their subterranean forges aglow with the embers of ancient firethorn wood. Life here is harsh, but the gnomes have learned to endure. They drink from hidden springs, collect electric moss for warmth, and hunt the elusive Speckled Coon, a cunning creature that thrives in the hilltop crags.
To the east, the Borikstani farmers have tamed the arid coast, using irrigation and perseverance to grow hardy grains and bitter roots that can withstand the relentless sun. Their windmills, wooden and practical, turn steadily in the sea breeze, grinding grain into flour that feeds their tight-knit communities. The Teslite Lynx wander the cliffs, their luminous fur visible even in the deepest fogs that roll in from the sea, while Steelwing Ospreys dive for fish along the coastline, their razor-sharp talons piercing the waves.
