Wardens Rest

A mountainous area once the home of giants the size of mountains but now a silent graveyard. here the dead rest where they fell in some great battle from times lost. Their enormous skeletons resting against mountainsides or laying in valleyes with soft rivers running through their massive bodies. Many still have the weapon of their demise within their bones, a giant pinned to a mountain by a rusted and massive claymore or holding its hand up in silent terror with its bones full of arrows.

Geography

Tall mountains make for a stunning view when coupled with the massive human shapes dotting the landscape. The mountains themselves are rather sharp their peaks coming to points as if spiny fins on the earth itself. Snow caps the peaks here creating stunning mountain rivers and in spots great waterfalls sending water tumbling hundreds of feet. the many valleys that dot this place are all home to a warm and lush river system teeming with edible fish and plants.   The giants themselves appear to have died viscous violent deaths with weapons from a medieval age protruding from their ribs and skulls. Other skeletons are holding a posture that suggests they were begging for mercy. it is not known what killed these mighty men or where they came from but on Yarth you'll only drive yourself crazy asking questions like those.   However the most important thing here is that on one of the higher peaks a single giant lays with his back against a mountain as if resting. his skull pressed into the stone half buried in the mountain itself and a large claymore pinning his body to the mountain. between his jaws is the first exit Humanity used from the network to renter the world above.

Fauna & Flora

That is not to say that this region is without danger... within the skulls of these mighty giants dangerous creatures also make their home feeding on the marrow of the long dead beings. Bone snatchers are a danger to anyone who delves into the skull of a giant and during a nightfall....everyone. when sols rays fade away to darkness and Venari fills the skies with her maddening whispers the bone snatchers all exit the giants mouths en masse to mate with others from other colonies. Bone snatchers are not strictly scavengers however and will swarm over scavenger unlucky enough to find himself outside during a nightfall.

Natural Resources

Humanity harvests the massive bones found here for building material and a grand market has arisen for the demand of the giants bone marrow which is edible and keeps indefinitely.   There are groups of people who scale the enormous weapons left behind and mine into them through the initial layer of rust harvesting usable iron that need not be purified from their centers.   these markets working together gives the region a new look entirely as giants and weapons alike are slowly covered in climbing ropes and scaffolding with holes appearing both the humans mining them appearing as ants or maggots on their great sides.
