   * **Tijonara Mountains** (Western Border with Asari Region): The Tijonara Mountains rise along the western boundary, separating the Tijonara Region from the Asari Region of the Habitual Belt. Unlike the lush valleys found on the Asari side, the eastern slopes of the mountains are dry and rocky, with scattered caves providing temporary shelter from the sun.
+=== Fossilized Forests and Sacred Formations ===

+  * **“Lea Gha Elashe” (Forest of the Dead):** The only exceptions to this barren environment are found in the transitional zones near the Habitual Belt. Here, temperatures are lower, and remnants of ancient forests — now completely petrified — still stand. These "fossilized forests" formed when plant material was rapidly mineralized under extreme conditions, preserving them as stone replicas of their original form. The most well-known of these is the "[[Lea Gha Elashe|Lea Gha Elashe]]" (Forest of the Dead), located in the Region Tijonara, south of the boundary line, on the eastern shore of Lake Arla. The Native Tribes of the bordering region Asari consider this forest sacred, believing it to be the resting place of their ancestors' spirits, where they can seek wisdom and guidance. This forest transitions into the "Gha Sol Shaol" (Gate of the Gods) mountain range, a towering formation that extends over 100 kilometers, serving as a natural barrier between the Habitual Belt and the Desert Side.
