| The climate of the region is a temperate continental one. The mountains do not have a permanent ice cover. Sometimes a weather front becomes stationary in the mountains meaning that it rains for longer periods. The big and small river are snow rivers. Hence, flooding in the poorer quarters of Urr may happen from time to time. The city of Urr is at about 300 meters above average sea level. | The climate of the region is a temperate continental one.

| To the east of Urr, the Gnomes live in and under a dormant stratovolcano whose Gnomish name reflects its purpose: Mount Central Heating. As the name suggests, it is not entirely dormant and there are several hot springs inside the mountain and a fumarole field exists on the west side of the volcano. When the wind is in the east, its smell is quite noticeble in Urr. The south slopes of this volcano have good vineyards and Gnomish wines have become an interesting trade article. | To the east of Urr, the Gnomes live in and under a dormant stratovolcano whose Gnomish name reflects its purpose: Mount Central Heating.

| - | To the southwest of Urr are the Green Hills, where the Redbeards live (although it is more accurate to say that they live under these hills). This is rugged country, with large woods and bogs, although there are also patches of open ground, which are arable. The Green Hills are full of wildlife especially deer and wolf. The Green Hills are also known as the Paths of the Giants. Nobody knows why. | + | To the southwest of Urr are the Green Hills, where the Redbeards live (although it is more accurate to say that they live under these hills).
