Kelseth Valley
Within the northern slopes between the ashkeeper peaks and the sundered cliffs lies the heart of the Ashguard Dominion. It is formed by a sprawl of dirt-packed roads, sweeping gorges and valleys, dense forests, and austere townships that fight back the dangerous creatures of the wilderness and transformed citizens spawning within their kingdom. Divided from the southern Wyvandir Fields by the plateaus of the sundered cliffs, this region is known for its smoke-gray skies, fits of cold rain, and occasional snowfall, keeping the feet of the denizens muddy and their crops healthy. The ashkeeper peaks shield the people from the threats that loom beyond the boundaries of the king's rule, with the eastran breach to the east holding the populace firmly against the bustling trade alliance that calls the Veridian Coast home. Home to the mighty imperial capital of Abaddon, these fields are the seat of power and commerce for the empire. Diplomats often find themselves traveling to and from the kelseth valley, while traders and merchants from around the world traverse the long roads in hopes of making their fortunes in the capital city. Even so, the growing ferocity from beasts and creatures that share this region mingle with the plague of humanoid combustion spreading throughout the kingdom, wishpers of a recovering criminal element, and the escalating war with the hordes of Zarosh to create a perpetual air of tension and anxiety.
