Keshin Sea and Chalk Tablelands

There are a number of small settlements along hundreds of miles of the western edge of the Keshin Sea.

No central government

Many fugitives and refugees from the Helegu expansion over the last 300 years

Strong Erensari presence, mostly those from defeated and forgotten tribes

A true borderlands, with thin strips of civilisation surrounded by the omnipresent wilderness

Emerging warlords and chieftains.

The Skaedguard is slowly expanding its zone of control and brutally demanding tribute from nearby settlements. Those that fail to submit are brutally brought under thumb with killings and hostages commonplace.

Gnoll bands infest the area, many were driven from the Focian Plains at the time of the great Helegu invasion over 200 years ago. Their numbers are being swelled by gnolls currently moving again from the north.

Goblinoids, Orcs and kobolds also regularly travel through the area as it is at the fringes of the Erensari and has many hidden valleys and caves that eventually spill into the Rakis Rift.

Recently wandering Stone Giants have wreaked havoc.

Indications are emerging of a half-orc warlord known as Clade to the west of the Rakis Rift who is gathering to him fearsome outcasts like himself. No overt movements have been yet made beyond his zone of control but he has clashed with travellers and neighbouring tribes & territories. He is rumoured to be ruthless in killing anyone who crosses his territory without permission.
