The Wildlands

The Wildlands are a savage and vicious place. Home to thick jungles, swamps, and rocky cliffs, even the environment here is unwelcoming to travelers. The environment, however, is the least of an adventurer's concerns in this place. After the Great War, the creatures created by the gods (Humans, Dwarves, Elves, Halflings, etc.) created the first civilization in the North and drove the monsters to the South. It is here, in the southernmost reaches of Mannuz, those monsters still make their home. In times since, however, it has not become uncommon to find Halfling or Gnomish villages here, along with the creatures that choose to live a more nomadic lifestyle. Slowly but surely, civilization is creeping into one of the last uncivilized parts of Mannuz. Until this process is complete though, the Wildlands will remain a place of mystery as there are few who wish to journey too deep into that place. And there are fewer who have done so and lived to tell the tale.

While the Wildlands are not technically a country, it is a geographical region home to multiple peoples with differing cultures, I have included it with the other Countries, such as Jemos, Ginnunga, and Verkauf, because it is slowly being developed into a country. The process will probably take another few hundred years of settling, but it is ongoing nonetheless.
