The Locrud Badlands

Geography

The Locrud Badlands are considered part of The Wilds, though there is no known pass through the mountains connecting the badlands with the wilds of The Bleak Coast. The area lies within the rain shadow of The Slumbering Mountains and therefore is unable to support much in the way of life. The badlands also see a massive seasonal shift in temperatures, with blistering heat similar to The Sha'ad Wastes in the summer, and freezing cold in the northern and western edges in the winter.

Fauna & Flora

The primary, and only known intelligent (if you can call them that) inhabits of the badlands are Orcs. These denizens are collectively referred to as The Tribes of Locrud. Smaller orc-like creatures called Goblins have reportedly been encountered, though historians had previously believed they had been hunted to extinction during the earlier days of the settlement of Barovia.
There are other various tales and myths of what the deeper reaches of the area may contain, but knowledge of the region is limited to what has been gleaned from border raids and hearsay from explorers of questionable integrity.
