The '''Lysierian Hills''' are situated a fair distance northeast of [[Wehnimer's Landing]], connected to the town by the [[Old Mine Road]]. The hills were once more populous, but the local miners and fishermen have been driven out by [[krolvin]] raiders. Rumors speak of a secret underground monastery where a rune portal opens to a distant, bleak realm.

Regions within the Lysierian Hills include:
*[[Castle Anwyn]]
*[[Smokey Caverns]]
*[[Abandoned Mine]]
*[[The Monastery]]
*[[Shores of Lough Ne'Halin]]
*[[Abandoned Village]]
*[[Lake Marliese]]
