Midlands


The MIDLANDS represents a sizable area of land that stands between the SEA OF WINDS in the west and the mountain ranges that lie eastward to ward off the miasma of the DARK LANDS. The MIDLANDS is a region rich in history, legend and folk lore for it has seen many throne-seekers rise up only to be cast back down again. This bloody cycle has repeated itself numerous times in the MIDLANDS over the centuries.

In times long faded to myth, the people of the MIDLANDS are counted as having answered RHUANON's call for war against the Elder in great numbers. The MIDLANDS today are the descendants of local bloodlines from time immemorial or of those warriors who had traveled east with the hero and his companions but did not return home. The end of the Darklands campaign did not end the violence and chaos. Many amongst the host followed their newly founded brothers and sisters of battle to strike out again in the Midlands and bring peace to the plains.

The MIDLANDS encompasses several sub-regions and a bewildering array of environments as it runs from north to the south. From deepened forests, misty boglands and the wide grassy plains that so many struggle to describe to those who have never seen the like.

    Battle of Brothers Approach
    Military: Battle

    The Battle of the Brothers Approach was a conflict between the Vammar heirs and the usurper of Rhaemor, the High Lord Cales Drevhedir. Though outnumbered by Rhaemor, the Vammar forces boast of twice as many knights and the proficiency of the mercenary companies Ser Arol had retained for the campaign. The two armies had camped a mile apart across a green, sandy field and awaited what today would bring.

    The battle lasted over four hours when it was suddenly ended in favor of the Rhonish troops. Lady Catriona, leader of a banner containing her friends, was one of two leader-knights who managed to push an opening into the Rhaemorrian defense line and shattered their lines. The other banner leader, Ser Olorin Noramyr, was injured grievously but triumphant in the maneuver.

    With a non-existent flank, the entire Rhaemorrian army turned their backs and ran east as fast as they deemed possible. It was a very decisive victory with Rhaemor losing one out of every three professional combatants. In addition, over two hundred armed serfs were decimated and the remaining survivors never returned to the army.

    The majority of the Rhaemorrian forces followed the HIGH LORD to seek shelter behind the walls of SCARDANCE KEEP. Another force, unidentified in name, fled to the southwest and were later discovered to have occupied the town of DOSA.
