Westmarch
A small religious settlement established in the mountains of the western coast of Alnareth, Westmarch is home to the largest population of Iomedae worshipers in the realm. Peaceful people, the worshippers live to praise and support their patron deity and dedicate their lives to spreading her message and living by her code among the few townships within the region. On the highest point of the region sits the High Monastery, home to the Grand Priest of the Iomedae faith, and the location of training for those who seek to represent their goddess and learn to spread her word of justice. Westmarch is home to a variety of races, holding no bias or preference to race, living in harmony with those who share their dedication the goddess of justice. Although the geograpy is often difficult to traverse, the region as a whole has the utmost respect for outsiders who live in the name of justice and righteousness, well known for its stellar hospitality. Those seeking refuge in Westmarch who practice evil or seek to spread lawlessness will be smitten by the pious people of the region. However, this doesn’t stop some evil from seeping in under their radar, with the mountains having a fair bandit presence among the trails that lead between towns. With there not being many violent warriors living among the people of Westmarch, and there also being no centralized government or military, no one in the region stand up to rid them of the bandit camps that impede on their lives.

The main religion of Westmarch is the Church of Iomedae, with the region being the the home of the religion when The High Monastery was founded ages ago. Its people are also welcoming and tolerant of worshipers of Sarenrae, as they have similar tenants of good.

Some dwarves to south have been known to worship dwarven deities in the same vain, however outsiders are rarely welcomed into their cities and villages.
