Plains of Mayfurrow

Numerous hamlets and villages flourish in the roughly rectangular swath of prairie delineated on all sides by a road or forest. The towns of Glendovel Close and Darnagal respectively occupy the northwestern and northeastern corners of this four-sided boundary, while the metropolises of Bard’s Gate and Freegate respectively sit atop the southwestern and southeastern corners of this geometric shape. The influence of the preceding cities spreads far and wide across the vast grassland as many small towns and villages fall under the Suzerainty of Bard’s Gate to varying degrees. The settlements scattered throughout the region almost exclusively rely upon currency minted in Bard’s Gate.
Although no individual settlement produces anywhere near the output of agricultural products as Glendovel Close, their combined yields vastly outnumber the preceding community’s harvest. Many refer to this stretch of peaceful countryside as the Gulf of Akados’ breadbasket. Its prosperity may be attributable to its rich soil, temperate climate, and long-term tranquility. While armies have crossed the Plain of Mayfurrow in the past, it has been long years since any such event occurred, leaving the folk of the region in peace.
Nonetheless, roving bands of gnolls, orcs, goblins, and hobgoblins sometimes raid farming communities or assault travelers and explorers traversing the verdant landscape, mostly humanoids from Acregor or the Shorsai Forest looking for an easy target. In addition, vast herds of bison, deer, horses, and sheep roam the wilderness, leisurely grazing on the plentiful grasses and grains protruding from the ground. These game animals inevitably attract humanoid hunters as well as other predatory beasts, most notably foxes, coyotes, and mountain lions.
