Western Provinces
Bu madde henüz yalnızca İngilizce.
The Western Provinces are the western lands of The Empire.1
Peoples
Orc tribes are not commonly found in the western provinces; their numbers are greater in the eastern forests.1 Gnomes are a rarity here, often mistaken for halflings and seldom seen on the fringes of the Empire, and a dragonborn met in the countryside of the Western Provinces is an extremely rare sight.2
Wood elves live in the region's forests. Dhori Whitefang comes from an anti-D'afat K're of wood elves in the Western Provinces, and Vaness Von’frevein went to live among the wood elves here after she was cast out of her position.3 Yortkul Grootlegiggles is the first Oakenheart ranger to be officially stationed in the forests of the Western Provinces, and the hunter Gregor the Brute relies on his knowledge of the region's ecosystem.4
Northerners have become a common sight in the region over the last century, ever since their kin first set foot here during the raids of Skolpa, "The White Horse". Revna Spearmaiden came with the first fur merchants bound for the Western Provinces, and Lachland, a northerner, came here with his father Karthul.5
History
A century ago Skolpa raised a great army of northerners to raid the Empire. They tore through the Western Provinces and raided Neptun.6
The adventurers of Valakar's party saved the Western Provinces from a goblinoid threat, and for this they were rewarded with the relics of Vansreik by Matheo, head priest of the Church of Shamyaza.7
Mercenary companies
The Scarlet Spears are the oldest mercenary company in the Western Provinces, and their present aim is to remain the leading company in the region.8 Commander Gustavius became the company's commanding officer for the Western Provinces and a prominent political figure there; he has set his sights on rights to an estate within the crater of Vansreik, to establish a second stronghold in the region. Auximus Tibalt joined the Spears after Gustavius took command, and Willford the Hexbreaker was recently appointed head mage of the Spears in the Western Provinces.9
Hemlock Twinhammers wishes to expand the Grimbolt Cripplers within the western provinces, making a home for all the dwarves who live under the sun.10
The Morenar are present in the Western Provinces, though not only there, nor only within the Empire. The company's current aim in the region is to move the ownership of the farmlands around the city to a minor, controllable noble family, so as to gain the rights to process their harvest. These fields within the crater, now held by the house of Von Sturm, are extremely fertile and supply a tenth of the whole Empire's demand for grain.11
