Batohs

Batohs is a fictional geographical location. It is a small, mountainous region situated in the eastern part of the fictional continent of Aeridor. The landscape of Batohs is characterized by its rugged terrain, with steep peaks, deep valleys, and numerous fast-flowing rivers originating from glacial meltwater. The climate is generally cold, with long, harsh winters and short, cool summers. Vegetation is sparse in the higher altitudes, consisting mainly of hardy mosses and lichens, while lower valleys support coniferous forests.

The primary inhabitants of Batohs are a reclusive people known as the Kael. They are known for their resilience and their deep connection to the land. Their society is traditionally organized around small, self-sufficient villages, often built into the mountainsides for protection. The Kael are skilled hunters and gatherers, and their economy relies heavily on subsistence farming and the exploitation of limited mineral resources found within the region. Historically, Batohs has remained largely isolated from the wider world due to its challenging geography and the Kael's insular nature. Legends speak of ancient ruins and hidden pathways within the mountains, though their existence remains unconfirmed. The region is considered a place of natural beauty but also considerable danger for those unfamiliar with its terrain and weather.
