Description
The Ash is a barren land that stands at the eastern center of the continent of Racinica. Marked by its ash grey soot and sands, the region is a near inexplicable barrier between Pinem and Lantrik. The land is dotted with jagged mountains, shifting mounds, and sinks holes.
Though the land is entrenched in its bone white debris, it is not devoid of vegetation. Instead, the trees, grass, and other elements of flora have taken on a similar pale color to the surrounding lands.
Travelers seek to cross The Ash for a variety of reasons. Following in the footsteps of Numera, pilgrims seeks to walk the lands to Klei. Many of the order have taken to travel between Blackport and Baroux to enlightenment on the journey and worship at some of the local temples in the neighboring cities. Merchants may also seek to travel between the wastes between the two kingdoms if time or funds are strict.
Through some research that had been lost to time in Pavlon, is was revealed that The Ash has not always been a blight on the land. Land in Racinica was previously an evergreen swath or forests and greenery before the scourge swept through. The Ash has been slowly spreading for a number of years, as tracked in the research center in the undercity, but at an incredibly slow rate.
In recent years, no such spread has ever been noted in any kingdom’s records.
