The Barrens

This is a placeholder page for content that PD are actively working on.

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 AE and 328 AE 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.
