== History ==

== Geography ==

Situated between towering cliffs near the western part of Taerel, the Crag has a lot more to offer than just a pleasant grassland. It has lush, deep caves which house some rare gemstones like Vim and Elin. The Vim gemstones are known for their radiant glow and are often used by the Theuthdra higher ups in their ceremonial jewellery. Elin, on the other hand, is a deep blue stone, and is a bit more commonly found than Vim.

While not as exotic and popular as Vim, Elin is often associated with good health as it seems to capture light for a certain time period. The cave network of the Crag is so complex that it seemed that some other civilization had built it long before the Theuthdra settled. Some were just a handful of steps deep, while some branched almost endlessly. In the years that the Theuthdra were living there, they hadn't even explored half of the entirety of the caves.

In addition to the caves and terraces, the Crag is crisscrossed by narrow paths that have been worn smooth by centuries of use. These paths connect the various parts of the Crag, allowing the Theuthdra to navigate their complex home with ease. Along these paths, you’ll find numerous small clearings which serve as a resting place during travelling.

Two of the many caves has a water spring each which seemed to emerge due to the underground water rising up to the surface. You could see their very bottom of the spring, such was the clarity of the water. The larger one is available for public use, and the smaller one, covered with shimmering rocks is only used for special occasions. reverence. The Theuthdra are highly mindful of their resources, treating the springs with great reverence. They clean the surroundings and the springs regularly, ensuring the water remains as clean as the nature has provided them.

The climate of the Crag is quite temperate, with the usual mild summers and chill winters. However, due to the cliffs and the location of area, it is also prone to thunderstorms. The caves do provide decent shelter during moderate storms, but have also collapsed during severe storms. With those harsh storms come the beautiful rainbows and pleasant scent of the soil for the tribe to enjoy after. The people of Theuthdra tribe are known to enjoy rain and often conduct parties and celebrations when first rain of the season comes down.

Along with the caves and the lush grasslands and trees, there lies Karkit's Point, which is the highest point situated at the western edge of the Crag. Many people of the tribe have tried to climb Karkit's Point, but have lost their lives due to the incredibly steep structure and unstable footing. For the past 450 years, they are trying to create a path to reach to the top, although it is only halfway done. Near its base, there is a mysterious narrow tunnel which leads to a cavern where everything, even the slightest of noises can be heard echoing. Nobody knows if it's a natural cause or something else, as it was something far outside the capabilities of the Theuthdra tribe.

== Plants ==

The temperate yet unpredictable nature of the Crag's climate has given rise to several peculiar plant species that give the Crag its own signature look. Some parts of the grasslands have been cleared by the Theuthdra to grow their own crops like Menea and Cragberry. Menea is a hardy grain with golden stalks, highly resistant to the temperate weather fluctuations, while Cragberry is a small, tart fruit preserved for food storage during the winter. One of the most iconic and recognizable plants of the Crag is the Moonvine, a rigid bioluminescent species that emits a silvery glow at night.

This plant is found only near the cliff edges or the peaks of the plateaus. Although difficult to obtain due to its location, the Moonvine is used by the Theuthdra tribe to decorate their homes and mark significant locations, so that the late night travellers won't get lost in the dark and fall prey to other dangerous species. During the rainy season, Kin'thar Moss begins growing near the rivers and ponds. This moss has the unique ability to absorb and store large amounts of water, which the Theuthdra tribe uses to cool their homes and animal sheds during the summer. It is also used to create moisture-rich poultices for healing wounds and burns.

In the more sylvan regions, the dangerous Antra plant lurks. This insectivorous species has a large, gaping mouth that traps and digests insects, growing in isolated areas of the Crag's forest. The Antra reproduces only twice a year, making it a rare and somewhat feared species. The Theuthdra regard it with a mix of reverence and caution, as it plays a vital role in controlling the insect population but poses a threat to careless travelers. The Crag is also home to the infamous Quill Tree, known for producing the highly nutritious Quill Fruit. This fruit, while incredibly beneficial and rich in nutrients, comes with a dangerous peel that is toxic to many species.

The Theuthdra have perfected the art of safely peeling the Quill Fruit, revealing its sweet and nourishing flesh inside. Before the Kin'toni plague, the Quill Fruit was a staple of not the only the tribe's diet, but also of nearly every region; but now its cultivation has become more cautious due to potential danger of Kin'toni. In addition to Quill, the Crag is abundant with other fruit-bearing species, such as the Kintora Tree, which produces sweet, melon-like fruits with a pale green rind. The Thunra Tree grows dark blue, bitter fruits used in medicinal brews, while the Nok'thra Bush bears crimson berries with a spicy, invigorating flavour.

The Druthna Plant yields spiny fruits with a rich, creamy interior that is a delicacy among the Theuthdra. Among the most interesting plants of the Crag is the Shra'thara Flower, known for its intoxicating nectar. Drinking the nectar of the Shra'thara causes light-headedness and euphoria, and it is often used during the tribe’s festivals and celebrations. The Lun'thara Blossom is its opposite, with a bitter taste that quickly kills any light-headedness and makes the consumer hyper aware for a short time. There is also Velrak, a thin, wispy plant with translucent leaves that grows along the edges of the cliffs.

Its roots are known for their tenacity, anchoring it to the rock face even in harsh winds. The Theuthdra harvest Velrak for its tough fibers, which are woven into ropes and fabrics that are highly valued for their strength and durability.

== Animals ==

The diverse and erratic landscape of the Crag houses many peculiar animals, with each species contributing it's own value to the area it resides in. One of the most remarkable creatures is the Thal'kora, a bird with long wings and vibrant feathers. These birds are known for their ability to sense sudden changes in the weather, as they try to find shelter whenever the weather is about to get bad. They build their nests on high cliffs, to safeguard its eggs from other creatures. Their feathers are used by several tribes in their jewelry to assert their position in their groups.

In the relatively rocky areas, a Drunnok is quite easy to spot; a relatively big beast with a rocky exterior which unlike it's appearance is quite docile. They are usually found in pairs rather than groups or solo. When a Drunnok is born, it doesn't have any hard flesh. When nearly 3 years pass, the skin of the Drunnok starts to harden giving them their distinctive look. This beast is also quite friendly, and the Theuthdra tribe often tame them and Ghotoh, an agile herbivore species, to carry their stuff to other places.

The caves of the Crag are also the home to the Kalthir, a dark carnivorous creature that has excellent night vision and stealth. Kalthirs are at the very top of the food chain in the Crag, surpassing even the Theuthdra despite their numbers. It's vitality and strength is a nature's miracle; as it can manage to fend off 5 full size Kin'toni and still be unfazed. The Theuthdra tribe often goes into the caves in large numbers and with sharp weapons to fight it off.

The Crag doesn't have a lot of aquatic diversity, as it is home to only two species of fishes, Glyr and Krookero. Krookero, a maroon coloured fish, has a lifespan of only a month, and during that time it lays thousands of eggs near the bottom of the ponds and rivers. However, the fish is so small that it cannot even defend itself from the weakest of predators. Glyr, the other aquatic species residing in the Crag, feeds mostly on the Krookero and aquatic plants. It is a dark green coloured fish with some sharp and streamlined features which help it to hunt the Krookero and escape other predators.

Zanka is a small, agile mammal that resides in the grasslands of the Crag. They usually live in burrows and feed on the grains that grow in the region. Gelam is another herbivorous species that live in the grasslands. It was, and still is widely hunted due to the taste of its flesh, and over the years it was hunted, this species has developed excellent evasive skills and camouflage. Otora, Dasseq and Popo are also some of the lesser known creatures that roam these expansive fields.

In the shallow valleys of the Crag, Torvaks can be found roaming in packs. It is a large and fluffy species which is tamed across the Taerel for its soft fur and milk. The fur of the Torvaks is used to create clothes and their milk has a peculiar sweet taste and medicinal properties. However, they are also prone to a variety of diseases, so they must be taken well care of. The Theuthdra tribe, which resides in the Crag have an unusual affection for these gentle beasts, and every tribe member is given a Torvak to take care of.
