Eschine

Of all the regions in Etraas, Eschine is the safest. Snow falls lightly, no more than a light dusting on the ground. Large forests are a common feature, with lumber being an important resource. Eschine is a feudalistic society, where vassals collect taxes for the Lord in order for protection and the right to retain their land. The Lord grants each town soldiers to protect them from monster attacks, and Judges travel between the cities making decisions based on the Lord's Decrees.
The majority of the people living in Eschine are humans and it is uncommon to see any race other than Dwarves and Half-Orcs. The exception to this is the capital city Wintersfall. The capital is home to a diverse collection of races. It is not unusual to see Halflings, Dragonborns and even Elves on the streets. Lord Harris Atarnis uses Wintersfall as his place of ruling, conducting his business from a palace within the cities walls.
Wintersfall itself consists of many wooden buildings. Poverty is noticeable within the city, the sight of people in rags more common in the outer districts. The centre of the city is a large grouping of ornate wood and stone buildings, implementing well crafted decorative glass windows.
Worship of all major and minor religions are permitted in Eschine, although it is unusual to find temples to anyone but The Duskmaiden and The Dawnmatron in the towns and cities.
