I agree that wood is plentiful in most parts of Sartar. But I still think
that the eastern part of the Rockwoods facing Prax is much dryer then
Dragon Pass. I suuspect that you cannot find there big forests. IMO it is
more like the Meseta in central Spain then like central and northern
European forested regions. That means that you cannot find there enough
good wood for construction. Instead, I think it is a rocky place.

Not realy. In dry and rocky places (like most parts in my own country)
farmers need to get reed of the small stones to reach farmable land. They
used for thousands of years those rocks to make their homes and the walls
separating the farms (I think it's the same in Irland but may be wrong). In
such places it's easier to find and use rock for construction then wood. As
I said, I guess that's the case in the eastern part of Sartar facing Prax.
