Cape of Dust
This region, as its name suggests, is a barren and windswept land where the dry, dusty plains stretch toward the sea. The rocky terrain and arid climate make the cape an inhospitable place, with few signs of life except for the hardiest of creatures and plants. The winds that whip across the cape carry fine dust and sand from the hills, shaping the rugged cliffs and dry gulches that mark the landscape.
Vegetation is sparse, but the tenacious Lombora herb clings to the rocky soil, while Pirthingallam moss is found in shaded crevices where some moisture collects. Scattered Sirathin trees also dot the landscape, their thick bark and deep roots helping them survive the arid conditions. Near the rocky coastline, the persistent winds have sculpted the Silverhorn conifers into twisted, bent shapes, their branches enduring the constant onslaught of salt-laden air from the Mabon Channel.
The Cape of Dust is home to several dangerous predators, which have contributed to its reputation as a place avoided by the people of Teros. Chief among them is the Rhakkor, a large and fearsome creature well-suited to the desolate landscape. Its formidable strength and hunting prowess make it a dominant force in the region, preying on whatever smaller creatures it can find. Few dare to explore the cape because of the ever-present threat posed by these predators, who roam the rocky slopes and dry plains in search of food.
In the Mabon Channel itself, the Lorghee lurks along the rocky shorelines, adding to the peril of the waters surrounding the cape. These eel-like predators are known to ambush unwary swimmers or anyone venturing too close to the water’s edge. Fisherfolk who navigate the channel are well aware of the dangers posed by these creatures and take great care to avoid their hunting grounds.
The Cape of Dust remains an untamed and dangerous frontier, its dry and windswept terrain home to only the hardiest of life. The people of Teros have not settled the cape, leaving it to the predatory creatures and harsh elements that have long held sway over this desolate land.
