The Weald

The Weald

Location
Situated in the northwestern corner of Yumalkude.

Terrain & Climate
A land of high cliffs and thick coniferous forests swept by heavy sea winds.

History
The Weald went unclaimed for a very long time. The Radiant Empire tried several times, but all their expeditions were thwarted by a combination of weather, terrain and freak accidents. After centuries of attempts to establish long-term settlements, the area was written off as unexploitable wilderness.

It was a bit of an embarrassment when a set of Windborne clans managed to settle the area a couple of generations back. They spoke of spectral monsters and murderous animals, but have now apparently pacified the region. In fact, the Windborne there live more peacefully than most, but are markedly unwilling to let in new settlers.

The clans import some food and luxury items, and export some wood, but much less than one would expect. The locals claim to be proud of their self-reliance.
