Zalgara

Zalgara was a region in eastern Valusia marked by a range of forested mountains extending north and south along the Valusian border. The mountains themselves are known as the Zalgara Mountains and were inhabited by hill people who were friendly to other Valusians. Many of the soldiers who served in the Valusian Red Slayers were in fact Zalgaran hillmen, valued for their strength and endurance. East of the mountains were the Camoonian Desert and the nation of Zarfhaana.

Though the Zalgaran hillmen were Valusians, they regarded themselves almost as a different race.

Located in the Zalgara Mountains was the black stone castle known as the Skull of Silence. It was situated at the top of a lone hill rising from the surrounding plateaus.
