THE HIGHLANDS

Looming above the lake are the great falls and river that spout from the mountainous slopes forming the protective valley the Nilda call their home. The highlands above are strewn with thick slabs of rocks slick with the spray from the broiling river and waterfall. Small pathways and stair-like routes have been carved out of the stone by long dry streams from the mountains high above. Trees follow up the steep paths on either side, thinning out at the top as the land becomes rough and uneven, eventually arching and falling in the borderlands between the Nilda and Lawaii. The river is loud coming from the mountain, and the spray is cool in the air around the peak where you can stand and look over the majority of the Nilda.
