The Sundab Hills in the west of Raziya form much of the border between this province and neighboring Amunat. These crumbling limestone hills, capped here and there with basalt from some ancient lava flow, support little life beyond that which is supremely adapted for the region's difficult and largely waterless terrain. Nevertheless, the hills have often been a point of contention between Raziya and Amunat, on account of the precious reserves of turquoise hidden amidst the parched rock.

Due to the lack of water and the extreme heat of summer there are no permanent settlements in the Sundab Hills, but seasonal mining camps are scattered across the slopes on either side of the provincial border. The few nomadic tribes within whose territory the hills fall feel little allegiance to either province and occasionally disrupt mining operations, but tend to be more hostile on the Amunati side of the border due to long-time hostilities between the nomads and the ancient kingdom that once ruled the land.
