Grey Muirs
The Grey Muirs are a large stretch of moorland located in the east west of Elderan, situated between the Mintaurath Range, Rhûnwood, Silver Mountains, and the Silver Woodlands. The Greymuir Crescent circles the western and northern sides of the Muirs, and the Rhûn River travels straight through the east of it.
The Grey Muirs are a hilly shrubland, with a vast terrain of rolling hills, low-growing vegetation, and next to no trees. The soil here is acidic, making it difficult for plants to grow, and therefore unappealing for any settlements or farmland.
The grassland of the Grey Muirs are usually of a pale grey colouring, hence it's name, often dotted with blooms of green grasses and more vibrant coloured shrubs and small flowering bushes. Some parts of the Grey Muirs are also marshes, with flooded terrain, pools of stagnant water, and muddy bogs.
The moors and marshes are home to numerous animals, from insects, amphibians and small reptiles, to birds and even grazing mammals, like wild sheep. The Grey Muirs are also home to numerous large, wandering monsters, who are quick to attack anyone that would cross the moors, leaving the land largely untouched and untravelled.
