Aelf's Lair

Shrouded for a century and a half in volcanic ash, constantly cloudy, in the shadow of the mountains and infested with monsters, Shadeside is the most dangerous region of Algidir. There are many cracks, caverns and canyons stretching through the hills here. Considerable effort has been made by the Lord of the region, Lady Sansa, to transplant foreign flora and so the land feels alien. Much of the northeastern slope of the volcano is considered uninhabitable, called The Desolation by locals.
