The Caraethina are the highlands that give form to the Enyanian basin, they are the reason there is such a distinct ethnic difference between the word and grass elves.
on top of that, they are thought to be the reason for enyaninian rainforest to be so rainy, as the highlands keep most of the moisture inside of them.
The highlands are fully covered in forest, and they form boundary where the tropical rainforest transitions into a more temperate, non rainy forest.
The Dark Forest
The most famous sub-region of the highlands is the southeastern portion, often called the dark forest, it is not the highest part of the Caraethina, but it is the wettest part, and the wildest, the terrain is very uneven, with many rocky ridges, wild rivers, and dense jungle, making this place extraordinarily difficult to traverse.
This dark forest is also home to one of the Terhikai gates, a strange phenomenon, that has yet to be fully understood, and especially this one, because due to it's location, it's extremely difficult to access and study.
The Eastern Forest
The Caraethina splits the Enyanian rainforest into two, the western part, surrounded by the highlands, and an eastern part, isolated from the rest of the forest by the dark forest.
Rivers
Besides forested peaks, and jagged rock formations, the Caraethina is known for the many rivers the spawn from it, the best known of them is the Lethi river, most of whom tributaries originate from the Caraethina highlands, but there is also the Marandi river in the east, and the southern marn, in the north.
