Let’s start with the Ommlur Hills. You can get there by going north of Trademeet a bit, turning west at the Ponte Vella Bridge and then continuing north through the Alibakkar Grounds. The Ommlur Hills are a big, sprawling mess of uneven terrain, narrow footpaths, ponds and trees. To the north are the Small Teeth, but if you’re thinking clearly you’ll stop well before reaching their base - it only gets more dangerous the closer you get to them.

You’ll find all sorts of herbs and the like out here - it’s my favorite spot for finding bloodstaunch, which is the most valuable ingredient in making alchemical curatives. Bloodstaunch grows best in open areas with good sunlight, so you’ll find plenty in the hills. Just about any herb you can think of is up here, except maybe the more rare specimens, and you won’t find much fungi. There’s a lot of open-air ore deposits up here, too.

The bounty in raw materials comes with a price, of course - the hills are huge, so getting around can be a pain in the ass. More pressing, of course, are the dangerous animals. Longhorns, timber wolves and grizzly bears all live up in the hills. The latter two will probably not take too kindly to being intruded upon on sight, while you can usually skirt around herds of longhorn without them getting too ornery. Don’t be surprised if one comes after you, though, they do not care for folks. Longhorns will be your biggest concern out here, with wolves and bears being rarer - I still expect to see a bear or two every time I go out here, however, so don’t get lazy.

The hills wouldn’t be so dangerous if it were just animals, though. This close to the Small Teeth though, you’re bound to run across creatures you’d prefer not to. Ogres are the second most dire threat you’re liable to find - avoid them without a group if you’re not absolutely certain of victory. They, along with their compatriot half-orcan and full-blooded orcan cohorts, are more numerous the further north you go. Half-orc bandits will occasionally range further south, but full-on orcs aren’t common unless you’re real close to the Small Teeth themselves. Needless to say, all of these will attack you on sight.

As for the most dire threat, that would be the wyverns that occasionally show up up there, usually at night when it’s easier for them to swoop around unseen. Wyverns are ridiculously dangerous predators, and they will absolutely kill you if you’re not careful. Never engage them lightly.

Other than all that, you’ll find plenty of smaller critters such as goats and birds up there, but not an abundance of game animals. Longhorn horns can be utilized in certain alchemical concoctions, but they often travel in packs, so I can’t recommend hunting them without preparation or a hunting party. As always, take care to never over-hunt any animal. Prioritize sickly and older looking animals.

Some notable areas of interest up there are the Shrine to Eldath in the southwestern portion of the hills, and the burnt down settlement of Diego’s Ridge further east. Further north are some incomplete structures that have been abandoned in the wake of the Winter Horde - there’s a good camping spot for when you’re in a pinch.
