Scyra Highlands

The Scyra Highlands, or Hills of Scyra, are a range of low rolling mountains which run up from the northern slopes of the Zanobes, forming the Sularian massif's most northeasterly extension. They generally follow a southeast-to-northwest orientation, separating the Tigerstone Rift from the Druune Basin.
Although the mountains of the Scyra Highlands are not particularly tall, their prominence is enhanced by the fact that they are surrounded on both sides by these two deep basins, both of which lie well below sea level. The slopes of the highlands, where the shoulders of their mountains drop down into the lowlands of the basin floors, are quite steep in many areas, especially on the northeastern side facing the Druune Basin. Here there are a series of sheer bluffs overlooking the Sunken Sea, in some cases dropping down three or four thousand feet in a series of dramatic cliffs from the pine-wooded highland slopes to the warm humid rainforest surrounding the landlocked sea.
