When the full extent of the plague was realised, a cabal of the most powerful mages thought they could isolate it by sealing the most affected area off behind a miniature mountain range. Spell workings like that have a catastrophic affect on the terrain, so the area within .. well, no one knows quite how it is. Overgrown with centuries of forest growth, the canals that linked the three cities turning hundreds of square miles of once fertile land to swamp, and the cities themselves wracked as the earth shook around them.<br/><br/>The lighter green to the bottom right is the grasslands, ancestral home of the orcs. In better times, they would trade at the town on their borders, goods passing up and down river both.<br/><br/>In the High Passes is the sole surviving dwarf hold that still interacts with the outside world. They refuse to speak of the others that lay within the mountains, but the proliferation of monsters speaks for itself.<br/><br/>How does that work to help us codify our little sandpit?
