Of all the kingdoms of [[Layonara]], the Ulgrid Kingdom is perhaps the simplest to map. Draw a border around the Brech Mountains, and you're done. The Brech Mountains were formed many thousands of years before the Great [[Cataclysm]]. The dwarves that dominate this slowly eroding volcanic mountain range have recorded sediment in their mining and tunneling that dates the range to perhaps as old as the beginning of the world, and the peaks might have been stupendously tall when they first formed. Now, they have worn over time to gentle slopes and one central peak, covered in forest and soft, short grass. Volcanic glass, andesite, pumice and other volcanic rock create a dark grey to black textured surface to the many tunnels and caves that riddle the range. | |||
The Broken Corals, just off the southern tip of the range, used to be a part of the mountains and are mostly coral-covered pumice. The Corals are beautiful with their wildly alternating dark rock and colorful orange, red and pink sponges and polyps, but dangerous to walk on due to the rough texture and jutting deposits of razor-edged obsidian. | The Broken Corals, just off the southern tip of the range, used to be a part of the mountains and are mostly coral-covered pumice.
