On the far side of the Hetarine Gorge, the Hetarine Empire stretches away across an inhospitable wasteland towards the towering might of Black Mountain. Hetaria has historically behaved aggressively, but for the last hundred years they have been at peace with the neighbouring Ristinnol. Trade has been intermittent at best, though Hetaria is famed for its Hetarine wheat, a fruity, pulpy base.
