Akkagyn

An arid region comprising the eastern quarter of Valthar, kept warm due to the region's damaged leylines affecting its climate.

History
Long ago the region was verdant forest, much like the rest of Valthar, but the same cataclysmic explosion that devastated much of Valthar's interior wracked the eastern lands, stripping them of much rain and lashing the region with searing winds. In time, the elves stabilized the region with their magic, but by then it had become rolling desert dunes and rocky cliffs.

In time, the merchant lords of the land adapted to their new homes and struck up strong trade ties with their distant cousins in Xaxalin.

Geography
A great plateau lies at the south-western end of the region where it meets the lands that have become home to dense Lokusi hives clustered around the grand magical libraries and arenas that were once the pride of Valthar.

At the northern edge of the desert lies a great mountain which divides Akkagyn's desert dunes from a lush river valley which borders the northern quarter, Wealdh Úr.
