Located just north of the Great Chain and settled by tribes of aarakocra and tabaxi. The birdfolk live in high altitudes in spires built high on top of difficult-to-navigate terrain. The aarakocra of the Highlands have an alliance with the dragonborn of the Eastern Sunlands. The orcish tribes of the northern regions often send raiding parties south to raid and pillage the Sunlands, and the aarakocra light beacons to warn them in advance. Due to living on the bluffs, the aarakocra are mostly ignored by the orcs. A person from the Highlands is called a Highlander and a person from the Great Chain mountains is called, unofficially, a Chainlink.
