Monster Alley

To the south of the Swamp of Illisium is a small stripe of land that leads from the region of Suthoran and The Wilds. Overland caravans travel along the land known as Monster Alley because it is safer than the swamps... but just barely.
While the land is secure and steady, the danger lies in the fact that monsters often flock to the land to hunt caravans. Any caravan that plans to cross the land needs to bring guards with them. On the eastern section of the alley is a small farming village, Etera,   that has sprung up due to the fertility of the land and also as a flocking ground for mercenaries.
