In the Horgon Era, this area was claimed by the Hofthorm Monarchy. Named Throa Sveid, it was then a great bay surrounded by towering cliffs. The nooks, caves, and ledges served as the nesting place for all manner of birds.

In the First Epoch, the receding waters of the Nermanis Sea left the bay high and dry. The marshy shores, long home to aquatic peoples, became a windswept desert. Over the last millennia, blowing south, the Winds of Talos have turned dry seabed into a desert of fine sand. Long home to the Bullywug, when the Nermanis drained away, seemingly on instinct, many dug deep holes, entering a state of deep hibernation. Based on Nermanean records, nearly twenty thousand Bullywug still sleep in what was once the seabed of a great bay.

Throa Sveid has the highest cliffs of the surrounding region. North of Arnogrygg, they peak at 7,000', and near Aphalê they loom 4,000' over the desert below.

From Aphalê's fabled terraces, when the winds are calm, one can see drik farms, and the Sadar-Nizar on their merciless hunts. Once a bay of the Nermanis Sea, Arnogrygg's great port in ruins, the cliff's famed bounty long gone, a bleak desert for training the empire's special units.

One of Throa Sveid's more dangerous creatures are the Sadar-Nizar. Descendants of those brought in from Athurrâm, when not pressed into Khazarkar military service, they roam free and wild.
