The Great Division

The Great Division is the largest mountain range in Pallacia, and more or less impassable, save certain regions that are less frozen and elevated. The Division is largely responsible both for the Far East's dense vegetation and Valencia's arid environment by blocking rain on its eastern side, and is similarly responsible for the Sharith's being removed from the rest of Feredra. The mountains themselves, though occupied by Sharithi, have a largely diverse culture from other Sharithi due to the vastly different environment, and sometimes refer to themselves as a different culture entirely, Montshari. The Montshari do not share other Sharithi's drive to work in tune with nature, and have a greater favor towards individual strength and prowess.
