Great Hawk
Geography
Great Hawk is made up almost entirely of the Great Hawk Plains. Flatlands of prairie with many tributaries that run through feeding the land and drain out of the west coast near the capital of Lochsmouth. Upon the lands are vast fields of wheat, corn, and other grains that allowed Great Hawk to be the breadbasket of all of Greater Yorkett. In addition, the field grazing animals live across the land in wild roaming packs. Once trains were established the city of Brotkorb grew into a massive trading post for the whole shard.Socio-Economics & Politics

However in the time since they have come to mutual agreements between each other. Farmers are allowed to have and maintain the vast swaths of land and agree not to hunt the game outside of needs for subsistence, while the druids are allowed free passage and are left alone. Many often agree to trades amongst either for crop and defense. One The Fracturing of the Shards occurred, Great Hawk was the first to join the union after Bollothglade and The Shadowed Canyons. The farmers had come to utilize the Low Magic Crystals in their day to day lives and made their labor intensive jobs much easier, and they could produce a lot more than before. So when the then union of Bollothglade and The Shadowed Canyons came to recruit them in addition to better tax breaks Greak Hawk Agreed. This is considered one of, if not the most, important partnership in the war as The United Shard now had a breadbasket to fuel their war efforts while taking away Greater Yorkett.
