Hyrcania, the main residence of the Shatomlics, is located on the southern coast of the Caspian Sea. To it's east lies the River Oxus, and further east and south it is surrounded by the Alborz mountains. The land is exceedingly fertile, though they are plagued by extreme amounts of rainfall. When it is not raining, it is incredibly humid, which creates the almost rainforest like feel. The forest with surrounds the large village is populated with thick, broad leaved trees and bushes. However different the plant life is from the tribe's european counterparts, the animal life is quite similar, including beasts such as red deer, brown bear, wild boar, roe deer, and panther. At the base of the Alborz mountains lies the Shatomlic's most sacred of places. A natural cave, the Anchiarata, it is where the Shatomlics hold their ceremonies and rituals. The other natives of the region are called the "Gil" and speak "Gilaki" a dialect of the Farsi language.
