Zürög

Zürög is a fictional mountainous region located in the northern hemisphere of the planet Xylos. It is characterized by its towering, snow-capped peaks, deep valleys, and extensive cave systems. The climate is harsh, with long, frigid winters and short, cool summers. Sparse vegetation, primarily hardy mosses and lichens, can be found clinging to the rocky terrain at lower altitudes.

The region is sparsely populated, with small, isolated communities of indigenous peoples known as the Züri. These inhabitants have adapted to the extreme environment, developing unique survival techniques and a rich oral tradition that speaks of ancient spirits residing within the mountains. Their primary industries include subsistence hunting, foraging, and the mining of rare luminous crystals found deep within the caves.

Historically, Zürög has been a place of myth and legend, often depicted as a formidable barrier and a source of mysterious phenomena. Few outsiders have ventured into the region due to its inaccessibility and the challenging conditions. However, recent geological surveys have indicated the presence of valuable mineral deposits, leading to a growing interest from off-world corporations, which may pose a future threat to the region's isolation and the traditional way of life of the Züri.
