Riverlands (region)

The Riverlands are a geographic area located in the south-east of Khadash, south from the Midlands and north-west from the Valanyn Island. It is a fairly hilly region with a temperate climate and it is known for its vast forests and numerous rivers which brought exceptional fertility to the soil. While much smaller than the Midlands, the Riverlands are very vast, spreading from the western border of the Kingdom of Naïas, to the boundaries of the old country (Ostreggar). Three inner-territories are usually distinguished : Naïas, Lineroth and Ostreggar.

Historically, the Riverlands have always been the craddle of Astraari civilization, and as of recent times, it harbours the last kingdom of the Astraari folk: Naïas. Following the demise of Ostreggar and Lineroth, Nayaki rulers were symbolically crowned "King of Naïas and the Riverlands, and protector of Astraar". While not united, the Astraari have managed to survive the War of the Black Banner and the Khalaani scourge, asserting their dominance in the green forests of the Riverlands.

Other than essentially Astraari humans, the Riverlands harbours many tribes of grells, trolls, and some giants.
