Frian Lowlands
The Frain lowlands are the fertile wetlands dotted by lush fields beneath the looming Drak Mountains it is granted great healthy land, from the seasonal floods that spring from the gentle rivers of the highlands, that torn to great floods in the summer, almost as clockwork, great ditches, and artificial damns and rivers utilize the floods to great effect, making some of the most fertile lands in all of Andaras. If one knows how to tame the lands.
The Frian Lowlands is thus remarked for its many river bends and its deep forest, though dominated entirely by the woodlands, the League’s insatiable appetite for timber has seen these great woods depleted through the centuries, now only the oldest woods remain.
In their stead are now countless farmhouses and small scattered communities that hold and cultivate the lands. The southern lowlands are the most inhabited and well-established part of the Frian, here the great city Fraisthor Straddles the great rivers of Ullamar and Korvana, spreading its dominion over the region along with the other great townships, such as Frallum and Kryna. While the further north one travels, the small villages and farming communities slowly give way to lumber camps until the woods and wilderness shadow looms too high. Whispers of ancient elven ruins still live on here, and the fear of dreadful Wood Elves stealing children is common, but worse still primordial beasts still prowl, growing bolder every year, as people are drafted every year.
