Les Alpes Azurées

The forests and valleys of les Alpes are the new no-man’s land. Rahuri villages and Mawon forts, many of them abandoned, hide on the slopes and in the forests.  Dangerous animals are relatively rare; venomous snakes are common, but their bites are painful and inconvenient rather than fatal (unless you’re allergic). But keep your eyes peeled for boa constrictors and the venomous rodent-like mammals called solenodons, some of which can grow to the size of a small dog.
Les Alpes Azurées are a new battleground as the Jaraguan government and the Mariana Chiefdom probe the mountains for mining sites. Gypsum, marble, limestone, copper, lead, zinc, iron and gold are plentiful; the flow of quality iron to Kap-Kalfu has been a windfall for some Ifrian swordsmiths who are now back in business. One Mariana surveyor has located a seam of rubies which led to a cave complex that spreads underneath les Alpes, dense with Syrneth ruins. The fight for the best mining sites frequently turns violent, with the Mariana bringing mercenaries and Jaraguans bringing Mawon troops to help them take and hold the most profitable sites.
