	This region has little in the way of fresh water, with wells being valuable commodities. They are often also sparsely settled. Building permanent settlements in these regions is a challenge, as is establishing fortifications. All farms in a territory with at least one region that has the arid quality suffer a 1 rank penalty. The curses [[Rivers Run Red]] and [[Rivers of Life]] are ineffective in a territory whilst any region is arid. At present, ~~Icarion and Nadir of [[Mareave]]~~ have this quality.

	A ''forested'' region features large amounts of distinctive, often dense woodland. Whether the great stands of ancient oaks in [[Miaren#Goldglades\|Goldglades]], the dense pine forests of [[Skarsind#Solvihill\|Solvihill]] or the once-tainted vegetation of [[Liathaven#Westwood\|Westwood]], the presence of large forests allows for casting of rituals such as [[Forge the Wooden Fastness]] and enables an Imperial [[Army_qualities#~~Guerilla~~\|~~guerilla~~]] army to execute a ''hit and run'' order if the Empire controls the region.

	===Hills===		===Hills===
	A ''hills'' region is mountainous, home to sharp inclines, rough escarpments or similar forms of difficult terrain. Although this does not limit the ability of armies to traverse the territory, it has important implications for strategic magic such as [[Frozen Citadel of Cathan Canae]], and enables an Imperial [[Army_qualities#~~Guerilla~~\|~~guerilla~~]] army to execute a ''hit and run'' order if the Empire controls the region. Examples include the cave-filled slopes of [[Morrow#Altis\|Altis]], the magnificent peaks of [[Hahnmark#Kalpamark\|Kalpamark]], and the rugged valleys of [[Kahraman#Braydon.27s_Jasse\|Braydon's Jasse]].

	===Marsh===		===Marsh===
	A ''marshy'' region might contain swamps, bogs, fens, or similar wetland, sufficient for the casting of rituals such as [[Dripping Echoes of the Fen]], or for an Imperial [[Army_qualities#~~Guerilla~~\|~~guerilla~~]] army to execute a ''hit and run'' order if the Empire controls it. These marshes can have tremendous diversity - compare the murky mangrove swamps of [[Therunin#East_Ashes\|East Ashes]] to the misty bogs of [[Kallavesa#Rundhal_Marsh\|Rundhal Marsh]] or the eerie grey meres of [[Bregasland#Grey_Fens\|Grey Fens]].

	A ''coastal'' region does not simply border the sea or other large body of water, but has a sufficiently accessible shoreline to allow the construction of a [[shipyard]]. Such regions are also, by consequence, vulnerable to attacks by [[~~Imperial~~ navy\|navies]]. Coastal regions can be found in places such as the sprawling islands of [[Madruga#Free_Landing\|Free Landing]], the smooth and fertile foothills of [[Redoubt#Naris\|Naris]], and the storm-riddled clay slurries of [[Bregasland#North_Fens\|North Fens]].

	These qualities reflect ~~the history of~~ a region; ~~they are~~ the ~~by-product~~ of ~~human~~, ~~orc or other creatures enacting their will upon~~ the area.		These qualities reflect current political events in a region; the result of social and economic events in the area over time. They are less durable than other qualities, more likely to come and go as a result of the most recent actions in the area.
