Haffrish

Haffrish, or the Saddle of God, is the greatest of the Great Plateaus, and is shaped like a large crescent letter “l”, roughly 100 leagues long and on average 20 leagues wide (38 at its widest point). It covers well over 2600 square leagues, large enough to harbour its own microclimate, and at certain points on the plateau it is difficult to see the peaks surrounding it, it is so large. Haffrish is noticeably warmer than the surrounding area, and winter sometimes arrives as much as three weeks later here than it does to the surrounding area. As a result, it is favoured by the Hular and other tribes for farming, and as many as 50,000 people may inhabit the plateau in winter, almost the entire population of the Falkienese Monts. The southern regions of the plateau are dominated by the 30km long Hakcral Gift, a patch of surprisingly arable farmland for an area so high above sea level.
