Golden Hills

The Golden Hills between the Changrila empire and the Furlaniya people have been a matter of dispute between the two people for decades, although the recent Gomorrah Breach has brought the two of them together to guard the hills against the demons.
Now they are a neutral territory but have been bathed in blood from all sides. The Changri-La God-Emperor patiently waits for the demon invasion to be over so he can claim the Golden Hills once again.
The Dongchow Herder is a famous breed of sheep dog native to the Golden Hills.
== Makhaitoi Statue ==
Deep in the Golden Hills at the high point of the Heiying Pass lies an ancient abandoned statue, said to depict Bronzar under his aspect as Bronzar Atrytone, the fearsome protector.
The origins of the statue are unknown, though Furlaniyan scholars have long pointed out the similar styles of Bronzar Atrytone and the Old God at Breg. Azanese scholar-monks of the 5th dynasty for their part, had long argued that the statue is one of the remaining legendary "Makhaitoi", the stone helpers of Aza mentioned in the holy chapters of the Kydomnos, now reduced to slumber. Several Changrilese so-called "Barracks Emperors" have also, through the centuries, reconsecrated the statue to the Imperial Cult while serving on the empire's western frontiers.
Currently the statue sits unattended, save for a few caravanserais scattered around it, as the Heiying Pass is one of the main routes for peddlers and merchants of the Troll Wastes and the Guilds of Pahroth to reach the Laofeng river and subsequently, the sea. According to local tradition, passer-bys would be wise to consecrate whatever food and drink they consume to Bronzar Atrytone so as to keep him pleased.
