Erúme Province

Erúme Province was a former province of the Aurlûnor Velande. It had no official capital, but administrative functions were administered in the oasis town of Listëmirill (El Beniwara). By size, the province was the second largest province in the country, but the most sparsely populated, with a few hundred thousand people calling the province home. It was the least Celestial Elf-populated region in the Velande. It had the least enforced religious laws in the Velande, with many of the native Dune Elves adhering to the Ashuran Pantheon, or in the province border with Aesperium Niedea, Soleanna, but many of their worshipping sites were fairly minor due to the lack of materials.
It was difficult to track the province's true numbers and religious denominations due to the lack of civilization and isolated desert oases concentrated throughout. However, a few permanent settlements existed, including Listëmirill, Tyalu, Principum and Rosaria, which is located at the Sawiya Oasis.
The desert itself is known for its mineral resources, as well as its prolific fossil beds. The Sawiya Formation is one of the most well known geologic formations in the region, bearing many famous dinosaur genera such as Ashuratitan, Diplodocus, and Petaurosaurus.
The province became part of the Third Dominion of Ashura upon Ashuran independence, in winter of 945 ACA, as the region of Upper Ashura.
