Eruseri mountains

===Geology===
The Erûserĭ mountains [e:rʊseri] or Sky sand mountains are a highland region in Erigarash located between the cities of yianushir and Urudik. They were formed around 5 to 10 million years ago, in the Tavkarian period, which makes them one of the younger mountains on Sabrim. This rocky desert has its elevations reaching between 60 and 100 blocks with the highest peak being the Gilarinuk at 98 blocks above bedrock. The Erûserĭ are a result of an upthrust of granite rock (likely thru volcanic activity or earthquakes), erosion and weathering (thru sand and wind). The mountains are primarily composed of granite, although there are areas where sedimentary rocks such as red and plain sandstones are more prevelent. Several of the more steeper slopes are a result of sand weathering and create stunning landscapes.
===Environment===
===== Climate =====
Being in the western desert of sabrim, the mountains have an arid climate and are hot all year round. The eruseri do have slightly colder winters than in the rest of erigarash aswell as colder nights where freezing isn't uncommon. It does not snow as the land is too dry. 
===== Vegitation =====
With the soil being mostly rock and sand, vegitation is quite rare. The most succesfull plants are the ertarû cactus and the deadbush. The cactus are a vital part to the diet of the nomad people, often being eaten as cactus paddles. Wildlife is also present in the Erûserĭ. Wild desert dogs and the shaseri eritab [Sand rabbit] are pretty common in the mountains, both being used for meat and hide. In the past, snakes could also be found within the sand. These went extict because their extensive use in ritual practices by the people of ukike tribe.
===Cultural significance===
The Erûser massif is sparesly inhabited by wandering nomads. these nomads are a part of the Ukkur, a branche of the Kuragan culture group. The local tribes see the mountains as their sacred grounds, with mount Ukike as its lord. The mountains have officially been incorporated in the Urudik(city) territory since [ruler], but have proven to be hard to control.
