Um-Gerat

Um-Gerat is an extensive region in northern Orithea, centered on the coastal plain along the Bay of Bronna’s south edge. It is generally considered to include this whole coastal plain and the adjacent low-lying inland areas (such as the river basins of the Blackwine and Ghiron), as well as the Trollfells, the Arkanmoors, and all the highlands formed by the foothills of the western Yhevnas and the Kirga Massif’s northern flank. In the east, the XXXXXX Gulf (at the mouth of the Barrow River) and the highlands south of it mark the boundary between Um-Gerat and the Halasar. The region’s southern borders are generally considered to be formed by the most northerly main ranges of the Yhevnas and by the northern edge of the Kirga Massif, which also mark a sharp climatic and geographic divide between Um-Gerat and the arid, desolate interior of the Kesh Karkhan. 
Along the coast and in the lowland areas, Um-Gerat is cool and wet, with thick evergreen forests; summers are mild, and winters long and snowy. Going further inland and up into the more elevated areas, the conditions become colder, winters become even harsher, and the rainy, mossy pine woods give way to drier fir forests and then wind-raked scrub and barren moors as the foothills of the Yhevnas rise towards snow-cloaked crags beyond which lies the desolation of the interior. 
Um-Gerat’s human inhabitants are a mix of peoples who entered the region from the west (Daeya people migrating from Enyrion and Khadoa) and from the east (Ullyrs and Uremites from the Halasar, after crossing over the mountains from Tirnavon). They also have some amount of Kulvar blood mixed in, and are thus often considered part Thelbir. Um-Gerat’s name in archaic Tuvai means “Mother of Strength” or “Mother of the Strong,” probably coined in reference to the toughness and resilience on which the region’s inhabitants pride themselves. 
Um-Gerat, along with the Halasar, was the last major region of Orithea to be settled by "civilized" peoples (that is to say, Tuvai-speaking adherents of Utara-Vaati). Human civilization in the area is thus young in comparison to the lands around the Sarpic Seas, although it still stretches back roughly three thousand years.
