Katsura

Katsura is a region situated in the northwestern portion of Eldham. It was named during the August 21st UNE conference by the Northern Lights.

History
Katsura's name derives from the ancient Qwe'tsn Empire that dominated the Region thousands of years ago. This name was picked by the Northern Lights Alliance in order to honor the Region's long history.

Geography
Katsura has some of the most unique and grandiose relief that can be found in the world of Eldham. Natural wonders are a common appearance in this section of the world.

Mountains
The two most important mountains that can be found on the Region are the Tetszo Mountain Range and the Khun-Drakhar Mountain.

Tetszo Mountain Range
The Tetszo Mountain Range can be found in the Crownlands of Yaszuma and is to current knowledge the largest mountain range in the world.

It is home to the dwarven city of Tetszo.

Khun-Drakhar
Khun-Drakhar is the mountain on which the capital city of the state of Varn Torum is built in. Surrounded by a dense cold and snowy environment, it's truly a sight to behold.

Islands
The Region is home to several beautiful islands, Suri, Mykitas, Stone Manor, etc. The largest and most prominent of these is the island of Gunjou.

Gunjou
Gunjou is an island situated in the middle of Katsura's central sea. Created artificially by its inhabitants, the island sits on a large dying seawall and is currently devoid of any natural formations.

Sky Islands
While not islands in the traditional definition of a landmass fully surrounded by water, the sky islands of Umakwa and Kinnomachi are also natural wonders that can be found on the Region. Umakwa alone is larger than most islands found in Eldham's oceans, being undoubtably the largest sky island cluster in Eldham.

Demographics
The peoples that populate Katsura are an incredibly diverse bunch. Ranging from Dwarves, the Umarín, and varying races and ethnicities of humans. Katsura is a fruit basket of diversity in an otherwise grayscale world.

The Region is even home to some previously unknown and cryptic races such as the one of the mysterious matriarch Snaer.
