Red Hills

Named the Red Hills for their characteristic red color from the distance, the red hills aren't actually made up of sandstone or red sand, but rather an iron-rich limestone that has become red through the oxygenation along the surface. Once broken apart, the rock is actually dark red to blackish within, but becomes red over a few day after exposure to the moisture in the air. These rocky hills are home to Kor Thalor, the Orc-led city-state sought as a refuge from the desert for north-bound travelers or a last supply station for south-bound travelers.
These high hills (all around 1,000 feet of elevation or so) serve as a barrier between the Beluir Desert and the Moorlands. The rains and clouds that come through Saavel Forest, or sometimes down from the NW, hardly ever make it past the Bariloch Range and the Red Hills. This allows the Moorlands to remain at a more temperate climate.
The red hills are home to many a creature, but most notably are Giant Bees. These bees vary in size, but are generally found to measure up to 1 foot. The honey made by these bees is produced in hives found on cliff faces in the hills, where erosion has caused breaks in the terrain and shade from the glaring sun. Red Hill honey is a powerful hallucinogen due to the toxins found in the flowers of Rhododendron trees that grow in the Saavel Forest and the Beluir Woodlands. This honey is sold for great price and is easily smuggled around Sefyll for it's euphoric properties. The most common method of consumption due to time and potency is to take the wax of such bees and coat the inside of the nostrils.
