Withershield Scar
Sitting at the northern edge of the Badlands, these moorlands have held the corruption of the Withered Lands back for ages. These steep hills make travel extremely difficult for small traveling groups, and nearly impossible for armies. The region acts as the perfect shield for incursions into the Badlands, offering only one safe path in and out. There are many denizens living in these high hills that further increase the difficulty of travel, from bugbears to giants. Numerous tribes across the entire region keep all travelers on their toes who decide not to keep to the main road.
