Uthaekai Mountains

The Other Highlands

hidden away in the southwest of Enyanin, lay the Uthaekai mountains, despite being isolated from the much grander Caraethina highlands, it is considered to be part of the same range, and the highest, and sharpest peaks of the entirety of Entanin are found here.

Volcanic Mountains

Besides just being the highest region of Enyanin, these peaks also host the country's only volcano, although there are actually five volcanos right next to each other. There are also many more inactive volcano craters spread throughout the mountains, but the most recently active of these last erupted more than twelve hundred years ago.
The Uthekai volcanoes are ash volcanoes, meaning that instead of lava, the spew ash and rocks into the sky, They erupt fairly regularly, about once every two hundred and thirty years or so, which sounds very long in human years, but this means the average elf will see three of these eruptions in their life.

Aftermath

The wind patterns and shape of the land dictate that this ash is blown inland, and the most affected regions are always Annat, and Onyialdu, then the the regions hugging the craethina, which block he ash from traveling further north. These eruptions usually last a few weeks, and they disrupt the regular farming and trading cycles of Enyanin, however, they also lay down a fertile blanket of ash onto the land, which is then quickly soaked into the soil by the frequent rains that fall there. The river may be colored black for a few months, and there might be a lot of initial damage, but when all is said and done, the passing of an eruption will guarantee a most plentiful harvest for the following decades.

Hot Baths

When the mountains arent exploding, the provide a popular holiday destination for the Enyanian population, as well as those who live there natively. The mountains are home to a number of geysers and hotsprings, as wells as volcanic lakes. Some of the more recent lakes, formed on old volcano craters, are still warmed by the lingering heat of the mountain, but the older ones, in the center, and the east of the mountains, have since cooled to regular temperatures, and each of them has developed their own unique biosphere, as they are largely isolated from the rest of the world. They all get their local fish life from what eggs make it here by through visiting birds.
