Richlands
The Fertile Home of the Halflings
The Richlands is the halfling majority land set in a large valley between the Copper Hills, the Iron Peaks, the Brass Ogre Mountains, the Gianthome Mountains, and the Silverweald Mountains. The land is heavily forested, but the open areas are very fertile. The halflings of the Richlands have farmed these lands and tended to the forests for generations after having migrated here in the distant past. The halflings made a deal with the dwarves to provide them with food in exchange for protection from monsters and potential invaders.
The government of the Richlands is a decentralized democracy. Each region elects their own leaders in the form of mayors and a council as well as the head of their local law enforcement. The regions will come together in times of war or other crises.
