Tundra of Cassus
Beware the Dancing Lights. Many who follow never return.A nearly barren tundra in the northernmost part of Septentrionalis. The major city, and only permanent city, is Etzak, where the native humans and drow congregate to trade. The rest of the tundra is dotted with tribes made of strictly drow, strictly human, or an equal mix of drow and humans. It is boarded on the southwest by the Letia River and the Vieroyss Woods, and on the southwest by the Obex Mountains.
Geography
- The northern half has little to no plant life, but plants become increasingly common the further you go south.
- A Sphinx burial ground exists in the exact midpoint of the tundra, and all tribes avoid the area.
