The Plains of Aryna
A rolling plain covered in tall grass and wildflowers which spans approximately 39,000 acres, around 60 square miles.
The land had been mostly untouched before the Academy took charge of the kingdom, but many were beginning to take large portions for the sake of farming and residential expansion. By order of High Sage Cal Estre in 908 AG, 13,000 acres of the land, approximately 20 square miles, from the base of Mount Etrafell moving east was to be protected to preserve its natural beauty. This protection still stands to current day.
In ages past, the land was a battleground between three families of Aryna, which at the time was called Estlarn, over the throne of the kingdom. After the previous king had fallen ill with no heir, it soon came out that he had three illegitimate sons with three different women. The families fought with many casualties on all sides, but it was all for nothing as the rest of the kingdom decided to appoint Lord Retel Hoflith as the new king.
Geography
A rolling plain covered in tall grass and wildflowers with few trees. It sits east of the volcanic Mount Etrafell and benefits from the previous centuries of ash being blown over it by the prevailing winds from the west. The river Oren flows through it as it travels south to the sea.
Fauna & Flora
Beyond the tall grass is a multitude of various wildflowers such as lavender, white orchids, yarrow and many others.
Few small animals are seen in the area aside from the occasional rabbits and foxes. Though wild horses tend to graze near the river and the river itself has few small fish.
Cattle and sheep are often brought to the unprotected area of the plains to graze and roam about.
Natural Resources
Beyond the collection of flowers and the chance of catching wild horses, no other resource is known to be present.
