Caspian Valley

Formed as the last of the great glaciers retreated into mountains to the north, east, and south, the Caspian River valley is a vast, fertile plain bisected by the river which gave it its name. In the 900 years or so since humans have lived there, they've cleared the land for agricultural use, including the foothills which rim the edges of the valley.

Small human settlements dot the entire valley, mostly consisting of general stores and taverns and “town halls” where local farmers gather to vote for their shire's Member of Parliament or celebrate weddings, etc. The vast majority of the land is under plow, producing more food per capita than anywhere else in the known world.
