The ground here was level, the view stretching for miles in every direction. To the north lay the vast Forest of Nature. To the south, the Hydraea Plains of the moon giants. To the east, the territory of the Raging Fury gnoll tribe. And far to the west rose the Kiso Mountains, rumored to be the home of the shape-shifting, Roc-blooded race.
This was the basic geography of the region, as explained to him by Aerin and Xylia. Of course, whether any of these races still occupied their ancestral lands after the Cult of Four's demonic invasion remained to be seen.
Orion suspected the Roc-blooded of the Kiso Mountains were the most likely to have survived, free and un-enslaved. The reason was simple: they could fly. They commanded the skies. The Black Tower's ground-based hordes would have had a difficult time cornering a race that could retreat into the endless sky.
