| The Southern Wastes |
|
The southern Wastes is a cold, snowy expanse that rests between the Northern gate of Rathalon and the southern entrance to Talanor. The area is almost always covered in snow, although it does clear up a bit in the summer months. Snow storms are frequent but not constant and the region has several well maintained roads leading from Talanor to Rathalon and the surrounding areas, although if a traveler leaves the safety of the patrolled roads they are likely to run into some of the orcs that live in the numerous ruins and fallen structures of the area. There are a few families that live in homes near Rathalon where the guards can help keep their fields and livestock pens clear of orcs and other predators. The area is large, broad and largely flat and easy to traverse terrain .
