Written by Schecter20

The Western Ecurian plains is located in the Mid-West of Ecuria. A section of flat land in all directions with grass and some wooded areas being the main land features on show depending on how far in each direction you travel. In the centre there is a large town called Xanu, the only one for miles, there are a few scattered farms on its outskirts providing sustainability to its inhabitants. The Western Ecurian Plains eventually end due south when they hit a cavern system known as The Calling Caverns.

Geography

A section of flat land in all directions with grass and some wooded areas being the main land features on show depending on how far in each direction you travel. In the centre there is a large town called Xanu, the only one for miles, there are a few scattered farms on its outskirts providing sustainability to its inhabitants. A small artificial lake, used by the farmers and populous of the town is located just south of Xanu. A place where each sunset looks as if a fire ball has enveloped the plains, the large sun dips behind a centralised Xanu, as the moon rises to cover the plains in a blue glow. With very selective tree coverage except the aforementioned wooded areas, this area offers little cover for adventurers, but patches of tall grass may save their bacon in a pinch. However there are little in the way of challenges or obstacles the closer to Xanu one may be. The further away you venture, the danger ventures with you as does the sense of adventure.

Fauna & Flora

Flora include various types of green and sun-kissed grass of tall and short variety. Small insignificant flowers may also grow with no interruption depending on the season and in the Spring there is always a plethora of daisies on the east side of Xanu and poppies on the north side of Xanu. In wooded areas, Sycamore trees stand proudly offering cover and shelter from the raging winter winds thanks to the openness of the plains. Fauna on all sides of the plains include moles, foxes, owls, insects of the non venomous and non stinging variety and most notably docile wild horses. Species specific to the side of plain inhabitance include; North; Deer and Starlings. South; Crows and Ravens East; Bears, Moose, Boars and Rabbits West; Wolves of varying degrees of tolerance and humour to adventurers or strangers.

Natural Resources

Wood from the wooded areas. Seeds and grain from the Farms. Water from the artificial small lake. Animals to be hunted or livestock to be purchased at farms. Flowers and Grass.
