At the time of the Covenant's founding, the region was cold from the winds that originated in the south pole and a large, dormant volcano was located in southern Nwari. While the hills of the region were desolate, the caverns under the surface were warm due to the volcano heating the springs located throughout the caverns. Nwari was not well-known among the Sangheili.[1]
