Most of the story takes place in this region.  It features a dry, unpredictable climate and thin soil that is generally unsuited to large scale agriculture.  Some farms and ranches exist in this region, but these are usually located along river banks because access to water remains a problem throughout the area.

  As the Tualitin River descends from the Saradon Plateau, it tumbles through more than 30 miles of a steep gorge.  Rail access along the western flanks of the Upper Angelgate Range allows the scattered citizenry living there to maintain regular contact with the rest of Tamaria.  These trains, however, served military installations until the establishment of direct trade on the Velez estate.  Until that time, rail service occurred every six weeks, making this region the most remote in all of Tamaria.

 This is now the most updated version of the area map. It shows details included in "Crisis."
