Point taken. However this is still Prax, so they wont be the green
rolling hills of England, more like the sheer barren hills you find in
somewhere like Greece (or Colorado?). 300m is enough to make something
unpassable - after all, the rise from the River of Cradles up to the
western plateau is only 300m, and there's only two routes up into that.
(Actually, I've just thought those heights can't be "above sea level",
My geography isn't that good - but isn't the reson we have rolling hills
or the 300m hill would be flat as a pancake).
due to the fact that they're grassy, and the grass sort of binds them
together?
I have just noticed the Vizkutz mountains are there as well.
I wish I could remember where I read that bit about needing guides.

Sounds like a good name for an ale, "Bulls Bollocks".
