high rock geography bullshit

17:13:23] <Zinitrad> but for cyrodiil and high rock
[17:13:25] <Zinitrad> I got it down
[17:13:45] <Zinitrad> though I definitely need to look up more screenshots of High Rock in ESO to modify my geography a bit
[17:20:27] <Zinitrad> Glenumbra is rolling hills covered in farmers fields alongside dense forests upon rugged terrain and as the name implies, strange and extensive marshes, swamplands, and moors.  Mountains are present but when they are they are often solitary and isolated, though the further north you go the more frequent these small isolated mountains get.  The whole region has a sense of idyllic golden wonder, an
[17:21:35] <Zinitrad> overwashing feeling of magic and fey that under bright days carries a certain charm
[17:26:38] <Zinitrad> Balfieras is a rocky isle with sheer cliffs on many sides and a small valley between three mountains at its center, with plains and copses that have been in many places converted into great elven gardens covering the isles.  Most importantly at its center is the great Direnni tower, whose central bright and shining spire around which the rest has been built rises far above the altmeri construction
[17:27:28] <Zinitrad> to as tall as the mountains of the valley it lies in, where it can be seen all over the isle, and as a little glint on the horizon from the mouth of the Bjoulsae River.
[17:32:48] <Zinitrad> The Northern Bjoulsae Mouth, also called Stormhaven in reference to the frequency it rains, from its less than ideal location where the mountain, bay, and natural movements of Tamriel's winds all converge for common storms of rain.  On the bright side it is the ideal location for farmland, the more than adequate rain keeping the plants of the plains with quenched thirst.  The entire region is
[17:37:42] <Zinitrad> dominated by farm and sparse woods, though the further east you go the rockier it gets, small mounds of moss covered stone jutting from the ground.  Small rivers and lakes cut through the landscape between the bay and the mountains, where the rainwater collects and drains out to sea.  The northern border is beginning of the southern wall of the greater wrothgar mountains and the north-central
[17:38:14] <Zinitrad> wrothgarian plateau upon which much of the rivenspire and the Wrothgars sit.
[17:43:36] <Zinitrad> The Rivenspire is often referred to in jest and in banter between bretons as a land of abundant depression and misery.  Its skies are frequently covered in thick clouds, blanketing the land in a tone of grey.  Its surface is rocky and unforgiving, lying partially within the more breton dominated portion of the Wrothgarian plateau and on the northern Brettony coasts.  Its southern core portion is
[17:46:01] <Zinitrad> formed from the large high mountain valley between two of the branches of the Wrothgarian mountain system, into which numerous mountain passes exist, more than any other region of the wrothgars (allowing for its extensive population by Bretons).  At the center of the valley the two ranges are difficult to see, and the valley is dotted by mountains of its own.  at the base of the plateau lies the
[17:51:03] <Zinitrad> coastal alleys between the mountains and the seacliffs that connect the land to the Dunland and to Glenumbra, as Well as the rocky northern lowlands, dominated by great isolated peaks of their own and punctuated throughout by jagged spires that lend the land its name and cool, bleak, but comfortably liveable grasslands, the landscape flattening out at its northern tip, where one can find
[17:51:17] <Zinitrad> Northpoint.
[18:01:15] <Zinitrad> The Wrothgars run from the tip of the Stormhaven and southern edge of the rivenspire up to halfway up the northern portion of Brettony, where it sputters off and is enveloped by the northern part of the Dunland, its mountains shifting from walls to weaker interspersed spires until they're consumed by the mountains of the Reach.  The wrothgars are great blunt mountains that form nearly a dozen
[18:02:02] Pink [~attention@ec7593a.1654620b.desm.qwest.net] has joined #memospore
[18:04:33] <Zinitrad> tightly packed chains and ranges atop the mountain covered worthgarian plateau.  It is covered in high mountain valleys that house small outsider breton societies, the hideouts of mercenaries and bandits, the homes of giants, witch covens, and most prominently, orcs, goblins, and ogres.  It is cool in the rockey valleys and frigid higher in some of the mountains, resulting in little viable a
[18:05:14] <Zinitrad> *agriculture- at least agriculture familiar to men.
[18:09:42] <Pink> Zini: I was thinking just earlier about former Orc kingdoms building intricate road systems along the mountain range like the Incan empire
[18:11:23] <Zinitrad> The Dunlands are the lands that surround the eastern protrustion of the wrothgars and lie on the stretches of land immediately surrounding the Bjoulsae.  The climate and geography from its northern coast to its southern riversides shifts from cold tundra plains and boreal forests to cool wooded hillands.  To its north it becomes rockier and the vegetation more sparse, slowly becoming wasteland as
[18:15:55] <Zinitrad> it aproaches the oft frozen breton reach.  Its middle is divided by the rocky hills dwinding off the tip of the Wrothgar, all the way up to the jagged Reach.  The peoples here were among those to first truly become independent from the direnni, and alongside the reach was also once the domain of the ancient witch-kings who quickly filled the power vacuum following the direnni, and were finally
[18:16:01] <Zinitrad> destroyed by the armies of Hestra.
[18:18:54] <Zinitrad> The final northern tip of High Rock, bordering the lawless Durcorachs and eastern skyrim, including the 'western' reach, is the Reach.  Once inhabited by the same peoples of the western reach, they were driven out into the western reach and the durcorachs early on by a combination of nords, southern dunlish bretons, and the breto-nords produced by the two group's unions.  The land is jagged, icy,
[18:21:25] <Zinitrad> and mountainous, bearing a few permanent glaciers alongside consistent winter freezes.  It's northern side is the location of the two breto-nordic cities, Jehenna and Farrun.  During the second era it was used by its ostracized orc minorities as the location of the second Orsinium, for a great kingdom of orc that stretched from the reach, down the northern half of the Dunland, and across the
[18:21:31] <Zinitrad> majority of the Wrothgarian plateau.
