Axia Valley (AX ee ah)
the Plains of Eternal War
Axia Valley, also known as Axia Lowlands, or Axia Plains, is the lowlands of the Kubaer region, between the Plashin Range and the eastern mountain ranges of Slavyum, on the major continent of Ethae. The region is made of up relatively flat land that some believe to have been an ancient lake. Its soil is fertile and ideal for farming. As such, countless farming hamlets dot the land. Some only a dozen people, others a few hundred.
Axia is considered cursed by some, called 'the Plains of Eternal War.' This comes for a long history of battles between east and west, Novyum and Slavyum. These clashes seemed to end up on these lands' plains more often than not. Some saying the land is so fertile because of the centuries of blood soaking the soil. As many ruins dot Axia as there are hamlets. The most famous of these, Axion, is at the valley's center. A circular structure that is a monument of the wars to some, and a symbol of the ancient history of the valley to others.
Through much of the Novyum Age, the Axa people of Axia Valley have lived in relative peace. The valley is suprisingly quiet in the middle of the Novyum Civil War that has followed the decline of the United Kingdoms of Novyum. Given the long bloody history of war on its soils, and the fact that Axa lies on the on of the major land rountes between east and west , most think the fighting will eventually find its way to the valley.
