Kagan Highlands

If you would have lived your whole life in the Highlands you would understand. The expansive fjords, the cliffside winds, the sturdy earth below your feet. When you live here, it's in your blood. When you bathe in the Kygastafell, you are this water. When you're on the hunt for game, you are this wind. When you lay in the tall grasses, you are this earth. Sure, life here is hard. But I never feel more alive than when I'm here.
