	When the orcs invaded from the Lasambrian hills, displaced farmers from Anozeseri took to the westernmost hills of [[Feroz#Morajasse\|Morajasse]], and fought a ~~guerilla~~ war against the barbarians. They scavenged the old battlefields in southern Anozeseri for usable weapons and armour left over from the last Iron Confederacy invasion. When Anozeseri was liberated, these freedom fighters joined the triumphant Imperial armies in sweeping the Lasambrians out of their home. Many farmers returned to their homes, but some - having had a taste of the warrior-lifestyle - did not lay down their swords and sought a suitable captain to lead them against the enemies of the Empire.

	The Golden Terraces of [[Segura#Anozeseri\|Anozeseri]] are perhaps the oldest orange orchards in the Empire. The farmers surrendered to the Naguerro army rather than see their orchards burnt to the ground; by doing so they were able to exploit the orcs unexpected taste for their fruit and preserve not only their lives but also centuries of careful cultivation. Oranges and other citrus fruit have been grown here for centuries - there have been humans here since the time of Terunael. The orchards are carefully tended, and there are several hybrid fruit grown here that are unique to the Golden Terraces.

	The Sunsong Ranch is a sprawling concern that covers many square miles of eastern [[Segura#Burnish\|Burnish]] between the tributaries of the Scorrero. Raided repeatedly by Lasambrians, the Freeborn stubbornly refused to give up their land or their herds of cattle, leading to numerous battles between orcish raiders and Freeborn defenders. The cattle breeders have carefully cultivated bloodlines of sheep, [[Mundane_beasts#Dodo_Birds\|dodo]], [[Mundane_beasts#Oxen\|oxen]] and goats that can be traced back to the founding of [[Highguard]] and beyond.

	In the northern [[Segura#Sorbal Grasses\|Sorbal Grasses]] lie an engimatic sequence of complex interlocking trenches a little under a foot deep. These sweeping trenches cover a rough circle of grassland four miles in diameter. Scattered seemingly at random through the design are six-foot pillars of basalt, smoothed and shaped over centuries by wind and occasional rains. The veils are exceedingly old; some historians believe they are Terunael in ~~origin, pointing to the similarities between their design and the~~ [[Navarr hearth magic#Tracing patters\|patterns]] favoured by the [[Navarr]]. Granite basins of water are placed at several locations. While some are fed by freshwater streams, others must be filled manually, and many have been inlaid with mithril, weltsilver and orichalcum. These basins collect crystal mana, and are carefully tended by a small group of hermits who find the isolation and silence of Ghita's Veils ~~particularly appealing~~.
