Earbour Province

The Desert is falling off towards the south, with small rocky hills building the northern corner. Lake Ponpilent is found in the center of the western Border. Not far off its eastern shore, the Checusheh River flows down towards Earbour, the biggest Settlement and Namesake of the Region, just after joining with River Khir.

The strong and unrelenting Winds that created this Area, carry away most of the fine sand that is ground from the Stones being moved by the air currents, creating a very stable and dry environment, perfect for Bodies prone to rotting.

There is not much living in this Region at all despite small snakes or lizards along the borders of the streams cutting through the stony landscape, as the Days are hot and windy and the nights are among the coldest in Inquest.

Especially along the western border, herds of Goats sometimes wander into the Desert to get at the Salt that collects in Nooks and Crannies formed by deflected Sea-Air.

The constant winds that distress the landscape are traced back to an ancient Fouled Wish. According to current theories, on the rubble planes of the area, rock literally grows from the ground, to ensure that the phenomenon can continue on.

Magic generates about a centimeter of sandstone or various forms of conglomerate per square meter per year. This is exploited by multiple companies to produce base ingredients for concrete or construction work at large.

Digging into the Ground diminishes the effectiveness of the phenomenon. For good returns on investment, only what grows above the natural surface can be "skimmed off". The Price for Earbour Stone is therefor directly linked to the time it has to be left undisturbed before it can be harvested.
