Murr Shore

The Murr Shore is an area in North-East Rasfadal. It comprises the entire shore between The Swamps and The Crownlands. The region contains parts of the Duchies of Eslang, Murr, Darnallan and Tarnal.

Geography

Coastal cliffs stretch almost the entire shore, making it hard for settlements to set up trade ports. On top of that its lands are infertile and barren, especially in the North. Further south the Murr Shore becomes a thin strip of land between the sea and the Feylin Forest. This area is not inhabited by orcs, but the mysterious forests brings a whole different kind of danger with it. It is rumored that people hear the forest calling their name. Those that listen to the call and enter the forest are don't always return. The southern stretches of the Murr Shore are close to the capital. These parts are more fertile, but still not much compared to the Hofen Pastures in the west.
