Four seasons: Harsh snowy winters, wet springs, cool summers, and stormy falls.
Usually lots of precipitation except in the summer.
Humans have carved into the mountains and created mines and settlements among the mountains.
Harsh storms shape the mountains as well. Many earthquakes occur due to being on a major fault line.
Home to the largest mountain chain on Erdre.
Many hot springs reside high up in the mountains, draining off into rivers, and into Aij's famous waterfalls (a main tourists attraction).
There are lots of thick forests at the base of the mountains.
Natural Resources
Farmlands mostly reside at the base of the mountains. Small farms usually inhabit the small villages higher up in the mountains to provide food when caravans cannot reach them.
Mines are abundant and Aij is the major producer of gemstones.
Many rivers run throughout the mountains.
Aij is abundant in gems, mineral stones, and metals.
Food is scarce higher up on the mountains.
Deforestation is a problem due to high demands for food and farmlands.
Many neighboring settlements have agreements to mine on Aij land.
More powerful nations such as Barreug and Otok have set up mining facilities which bring resources to the villages in exchange for the minerals in the mountains.
Flora and Fauna
At the base of the mountains, tall fir trees and shrubs dominate. They are scare at higher altitude where bamboo shoots are more common.
Primary crops: Bamboo, bok choy, melons, eggplants, squash, radishes, roots, and cabbage.
