 +
 +==== Argurkuma Prarie ====
 +The "golden waves" of the Argurkuma plains dominate much of middle Dythos.
 +Rolling hills of grassland and savanna make the area ideal for herding and cereal farming, but the moderate rainfall is not optimal for major orchards or cash crop estates.
 +Scattered ruins and wounds from the [[polemos:3rd_age:events:elesh_rebellion|Great War]] also litter the land, and most colonies in the region must be relatively self-sufficient.
 +
 +==== Skiros Cliffs ====
 +The middle coast of Dythos is dominated by sheer cliffs of limestone and chalk.
 +The cliffs make ship mooring difficult outside a few shallow bays that can only support minor settlements.
 +The major exception is crane-works of [[polemos:4th_age:locations:irenpolis|Irenpolis]].
 +
 +==== Saku Heights ====
 +A wooded mountain range in middle Dythos north of [[polemos:4th_age:locations:irenpolis|Irenpolis]].
 +A trio of high peaks that breach the treeline are known as the 'three goddesses' by [[polemos:4th_age:factions:saniori|Saniori]] oral tradition.
 +By legend the area was a sanctuary for the Saniori during the [[polemos:4th_age:events:the_rupture|Rupture]], but the large tribes that grew out of them were destroyed by internal strife and wars with the arthenians.
 +The area is relatively undeveloped and is still considered a refuge for Saniori tribesmen, Dythonian outlaws, or others that seek isolation.
 +
 +==== Eklesian Badlands ====
 +A region of foothills, windswept sandstone canyons, and a small cluster of mountains east of [[..:locations:new_agolos|New Agolos]].
 +The area features rock formations that resemble archways and steeples.
 +Whether they are petrified ruins of lost cathedrals or natural coincidences remains unknown.
 +
 +==== Rhamnos Tideland ====
 +The marshy coastland of southern Dythos is filled with mangroves, floodland, and silty beaches that lacks deep harbors.
