The name used by the Lakesht, other continents for the lands beyond the southern mountains. For many generations the area has been completely inaccessible, but five years ago the mountain pass reopened. Since then, groups from throughout the Confederation (primarily the Expeditionary Coalition) have begun expanding into the area, slowly carving out a safe zone in this inhospitable and mysterious area.
Little civilization exists in the southlands, at least for now. A days march beyond the pass lies a restored keep called The Mouth , which serves as the point from which expeditions set forth, with a small smattering of supporting farmlands and villages. The only other known inhabitants at first is the port town of Saltmarsh in the south-east. After the pass reopened, members from some of the merchant fleets, along with some retired pirates and privateers chose to resettle in a run-down town by the bay.
The leftover fragments of several precursor civilizations scar the region even now, all possessing deeply misunderstood technologies and magics.
A haunted structure, the Abbey of Ghosts can be found to the southwest of the farmlands across the river.
