Overview
The Barrens describes an area to the east of Semmerholm never conquered by the Empire. Dawn maintains a series of long-established outposts on the western edge that reinforce the border against the barbarians. The land is rich and fertile and there have been several attempts to settle it more fully, but the presence of several barbarian bandit tribes makes establishing permanent settlements impossible. Between 325 YE and 328 YE the barrens were the scene of a short-lived rogue kingdom called Montane following the events of the Freedom Heresy. Since then a large proportion of the territory has been in the hands of agressive barbarian orcs.
Nonetheless, the Dawnish refuse to abandon the Barrens and it serves as a common proving ground for knights-errant.
Minor Settlements
Drycastle
Sits between Broceliande and the Barrens, in woods watched by Navarr Thorns as much as knights of Dawn. It is still held, as a bastion against the creatures of the Barrens. It’s often under attack, with much glory waiting the brave knights who volunteer here for dangerous adventure. This is not a place for families.
