Hagrath

Description

A rich, fertile land, self-sufficient and with little need to trade, though surplus is sold to Gotherim to the north via its trade route through Hakon Pass and south to Grathelle via the Sea of Barshelle. The land is divided into many farms, each producing a specific product and pooling its resources at Rolure, the capital city. The richness of the land attracts a variety of unwanted insects and predators such as centipedes (Litho) - the source of the abominable Litho Culture imported to Rolure by Ragseed and his cronies and forced upon an unsuspecting population until overthrown by Lord Thornshield with the help of Peapod Greenears and his mission party.
