Far north from the capital of Ahza, the sky brews all year round with dark skies and heavy clouds. Thunder can be heard for miles around the area as rain pours down to the lush ground below. Not only makes the grasslands here vivid in color and nutrients but provides the food needed for the dry desert lands that lay beyond it. With constant rain and storms the brilliant lightning that fills the sky is a sight to behold. Whites, blues, and yellows can be seen flashing in all directions though when they are not, the rumble of thunder is hard to ignore when approaching. Among the fresh water that can be found pouring from the pitch dark skies, the Elder Tree is still the most impressive thing the area has to offer to its visitors and still coaxes people to endure the storms for a closer look. It’s large branches reach out to cause a canopy of relief from the rain and it’s extremely thick trunk giving it a feeling of home to the Elinins who come far enough into the Storm Lands to see it. 

 

While most of the region is sand and cliffs, this is one of the few places where rolling green hills can be found with plenty of wildlife. Tall grass is able to grow here because of the amount of rain, small bugs and creatures often being seen climbing among the mud and stones that litter the area. Though not as impressive as the Elder Tree itself, smaller trees with bright green leaves and healthy bark dot the area, making sure to give home and food to the creatures living within the area. With most of the water and food being helped and generated by these lands, it is a treasure to many who call Ahza home.
