Westreach is a province of The Empire, ruled by House Von Laidorf and famous for its industry and mines. Its large cities are Westreach, one of the wealthiest cities in the Empire, together with Carnsburg, Lorpon and Vansreik.1 With provinces such as Bluelands and Whitefall, it gives the Empire's political landscape its own particular flavour.2
Industry
Rich mining deposits lie to the north of the city of Westreach and give it cheap, easily reached raw materials. Long ago this played a large part in the Empire's decision to build its foundries and great workshops in this province.1
Nobility
The rest of the Empire often jokes about how proud and haughty the nobility of Westreach is. Perhaps nowhere else do the noble houses keep so strictly to protocol and tradition. It is said that duels over trivial matters once became so common that the governor of the day had to forbid nobles to duel at all.1
History and custom
The raids of Skolpa, which lasted four years, ended in a bloody and decisive battle on the border of the Free Ports, in the westernmost part of the province.3 Saint Clarice Day is celebrated with especially grand ceremonies in Westreach and Bluelands.4
Mercenaries of the West Reach
Gregory Dask made his name as a hired sword serving the nobles of the West Reach before he joined the Brine Blades, and word of the deeds of Klaus the Lone Blade spread throughout the province, bringing him fame, fortune and a steady stream of offers. Lorraine Septh, knowing that the most lucrative headhunting lay in Westreach, went to Vansreik.5
Aetheus Boldragon takes no missions outside the West Reach, and Rampart knows every caravan route in it. Cassedie Uleseus served as a warrior priestess and mercenary to help its common folk, Batlamius Guilla worked for five years in its forests, and Garamain Hull came back to Westreach after he was expelled from the Archon Academy for his fascination with forbidden spells. Percival Mill and Zardrak Throneguard can be found in its settlements as well as at The Stone Nest Caravansary.6
For a hundred years the Circle of Lunara planned a nearly impossible mission: to release a powerful nature spirit from the Feywild back into the forests of Westreach. To carry it out, the circle hired adventurers from around the province.7
