Northweyr Region
The NORTHWEYR region is the closest area of lands along Auredain’s borders that have not been pacified. Despite its proximity to the Heraldsport and the eastern domains, the risks and unpredictability of the region has stymied Reclamation efforts and held firm against expansion for decades. It has only been in the past thirty years that the efforts of courageous pioneers, ambitious nobles and the swords of determined troops that the region is becoming peopled again—sparsely and in small gatherings—but the lands of Northweyr is just over the hills and is a land that rewards the confident and cunning with property and titles of their own.
Since the Taking, the region has been the main egress for beastmen warbands, inhuman raiders, outlaw bands and unnatural predators to find their way into the soft underbelly of the Kingdom of Auredain. That predation has slowed although it has not stopped. While the Border Hills and their inhuman denizens are being squeezed between Dyramar and the twin keeps of KHERLEIGH and HALSBAND, the dark forests, hills and mountains to the east continue to hem in the expansion of Auredain.
The aggressive actions of the High Lord Honera and his vassals has been rewarded with the area being bookmarked between the two stout keeps. Both constructed within the past fifty years, the forces of High Lord Northweyr range out from those bastions to patrol, keep in contact with and come to the rescue or vengeance of the independent small clusters of settlement that are sprouting everywhere. The High Lord spends a significant portion of any revenue on a standing military that patrols the expanding borders while remaining alert to the risk of invasion that always lurks so close to the wilderlands lost during the Taking.
