The Dawn Hills are windswept plains covered in grass to the northwest of the
Lightfoot Land. Many of the hills have exposed rock faces or steep escarpments. Countless tiny streams rise from hidden springs (usually clean and drinkable), then flow down to join the
Extinct Abyss, which bisects the hills.
Description
This sparsely vegetated span of earth would be discouraging if not for the mineral-rich beds of soil and rock that sweep across the hills, painting them with brilliant color. Most locals only think of the wilder, higher hills east of the abyss when they hear “Dawn Hills,” because it’s there that once had rich quarries and good hunting. Some hunting lodges and keeps owned by wealthy Gnomes or adventurers remain — and in recent times have become homes to bandits and monsters. Those who quarry the Dawn Hills for building stones and gravel often trade tales of finding gemstones and rich veins of ore in the hills — but for the most part, these persistent tales have never been more than talk.
