The Kher Ridges, also simply called the Khers, were a mountainous region in the former Fallaji territory of eastern Terisiare on Dominaria.[1][2]
History
The Kher Ridges divided the Western Desert (west from Argive and Korlis) from the Great Desert in the interior of Terisiare. Known locations within the Kher Ridges include the Caves of Koilos, Urza's Tower, and the Kobold lair known as Kher Keep. Kher is said to mean big mountain in the goblin tongue.[3] Mishra also built his foundry from the trunk of a massive fallen tree in the Ridges.[4] The Fallaji thought these mountains to be cursed and avoided them. They believed the territory was dangerous not only due to its predators but also because some among them whispered of it being the hidden heart of the Thran Empire, inhabited by their spirits. [5]
The Argivian capital of Penregon was sheltered in the northern Khers, and after the Sylex Blast, rapid cooling led to glaciers driving down upon the city, leading to the Fall of Penregon over 15 years.[2]
Currently, the Kher Ridges form part of New Argive.[6] It is plagued by the dragon Prossh, who is revered as a god by the Kobolds.[7]
