Vorgash Mountains

The Vorgash Mountains (actarian: Vorgashka, ormish: Vörgeshch), are a mountain range that straddle the border of Actar and Quashij. The chain runs from eastern Ajershak province in Actar and joins with the Bashkal Mountains in southern Akhan in the Karoshak Regent. The range forms a natural boundry between the countries of the Actarian Union and those of the Ormish states to the south. The mountains cause a rainshadow effect in the regions to the south resulting in significantly drier conditions in Quashij and Dahl than are found north of the range in Actar, Jxashengk, and Akhan.

In 4550, Quashij began an irrigation project designed to direct snowmelt from the Vorgash Mountains to the steppe and desert regions of the Quashi badlands in an effort to make them suitible for agriculture. To date, the project has reclaimed, and transformed into viable land, roughly 160km² of arid land from the badlands.
