Emerald Plains

The Emerald Plains is an area which is completly flat, which spans for roughly 48 miles. Being so flat and fertile, there are many farmsteads, manors and villages. Marans believe this land is blessed by the Gods, as every year more crops grow here than anywhere else on the continent. Many Clans of Mara have contested control over these plains in the past. Currently the High Lordship province is independant, and has been under the reign of High Lord Selwyn of the Emerald for 2 cycles.

The Garden's Gate

Located in the centre of the plains is a walled city which controls the province of the Emerald Plains. It is the only city in the plains, which administers and protects the surrounding farmsteads. In the centre of the city is a large Runestone Monument to Ghana, Goddess of Life and Karael, Goddess of the Hunt and Harvest. It is believed this city is the location of the God's Gate to their Garden, Draguna. This, in the Maran people's view, is why the surrounding area is so fertile; because the lands are blessed by the gods.

Sorrow's Den

Located on the rim of the Spine, Sorrow's Den is a lake surrounded by weeping willows. In the centre of the lake is a broken Runestone, which used to be devoted to the God of Chaos, Zostus. People of the nearby villages claim this lake is haunted, possibly because the pillar was to protect the lake from the predators which lurk in the surrounding forest and even within the lake. Others claim it is the wrath of Zostus which is causing the terrorsto occur, as he is angry his pillar was destroyed. The reasons why the pillar was broken is unknown. However adventurers are warned, as anyone who dares to travel into Sorrow's Den never returns.

Narrows Lock

The valley into the Wildlands; the tundra between Mara and Koldrhiem. Narrows Lock is a gate. To separate Mara to the North, to prevent the beasts which reside in the Wildlands.The Narrows is said to be a scar from a war which raged centuries ago. The fables say it was in the time of magic, where the people of Mara had great mystical powers, which have since been lost. To this day, Marans believe their powers were taken away by the gods, who were displeased with how the people abused such gifts. The beasts which dwell within the Wildlands and Mara itself are also said to be as a punishment to the people. A constant reminder of the sins of their ancestors. This is however a rare opinion, as the beasts and predators are also seen as the work of Zostus; who desires to only cause chaos for both people and the Gods.
