History
This region was lush forest before the mist came. It was origionally populated by the First People. After the first "civilized” culture entered the land, the forest was cut back for farmland. This continued after King Barov’s army’s took control of the region.
After the mists came leafy or green crops began to wither and die due to the reduced levels of sunlight. Root vegetables became the main source of nutrients in the region.
The population has stagnated after generations of being trapped in the mist.
