Gibral Peninsula

The Gibral Peninsula is located in the southernmost area of Obreidhion. To the north is the Amacata Desert, a vast region found within a massive rain shadow.

Geography

Gibral has a craggy, rocky landscape. The Picos Mountains cut off the peninsula from the rest of the mainland, serving as a natural border. These mountains along with several other smaller scattered mountain ranges provide the source for four rivers that run throughout. The lower altitudes tend to be more tropical sporting year round temperatures of 80° F.

Within these mountains are large natural caves which contain crystallized potassium nitrate, one of the major ingredients of gunpowder.

Ecosystem

Much of the peninsula's forests consists of oak, beech and birch. These plants are exceptionally rare on Khyorgan, and they are believed to have been imported from Eidyn by ancient human visitors that brought greenery to a once barren landscape.
