Rukmubir Peninsula
Rukmubir Peninsula
The northwest corner of Libynos, stretching out to the Isthmus of Irkaina, this peninsula is a wild region with dry, stony soil; scouring winds; harsh, rainy winters; and parched summers. The soil is thin and sandy and does not support much plant life. Soldiers of the caliphate’s Grand Army patrol here from time to time, but their horses will not eat the scrubby grasses of the area so they never stay long. The “dusty corner of Libynos,” as they call it, has been largely uninhabited for as long as records have been kept in the caliphate. Explorers have reported the crumbled remains of ancient stone buildings, so there may have been some settlements made under the Assurians but the ruins are not enough for there to have been anything more than a few small towns. In recent years, some Northlanders have tried to settle in the extreme northwest corner of the peninsula but no one from the caliphate is aware of this.
