The Midlands
The Midlands, a vast expanse nestled between the Kingdom of Tren and the haunted lands of Slavannia, is a region of stark beauty and haunting desolation. Once a corridor of life and trade, this steppe land endured a cruel fate in the aftermath of the Plague Wars. The scourge that swept through the realm's veins hit the Midlands with particular ferocity, leaving behind a haunting emptiness.
Once bustling villages and thriving farmlands, now stand as haunting reminders of the plague's merciless grip. The plague's ruthless embrace claimed lives by the scores, leaving settlements abandoned and homes left to the elements. Nature, determined to reclaim what had been taken, slowly crept back, covering the evidence of once-flourishing life with a shroud of wild growth.
In the five centuries since those dark times, a quiet transformation has taken root amidst the ruins. A handful of tenacious souls, pioneers unafraid of the past's shadows, have begun to venture back into the Midlands. Fueled by a fierce determination and the promise of open lands, these frontiersmen and women have begun to reclaim the forsaken soil.
Their efforts are not without peril. The very land seems tainted, echoing with a sense of lingering melancholy. Wild beasts roam freely, both a testament to nature's enduring strength and a warning of the challenges that lie ahead. The ruins of forgotten settlements serve as both a reminder of what was lost and a beacon of hope, testament to humanity's resilience.
As these brave souls carve out a life amidst the desolation, the Midlands begin to show signs of rebirth. Tiny settlements, humble and determined, are taking root where once despair reigned supreme. The sounds of hammers and laughter cut through the silence, an anthem of defiance against the darkness that once held sway.
