Geography

The Elb Riverlands
The area surrounding the Elb river is made up of fertile grasslands and hills. As such, it forms the basis for the agricultural industry of Märchenland. Villages and towns form around the various vineyards, orchards and farms that dot the Elb’s banks. However, the farther one travels from the river in either direction, the land becomes less tamed, with tribes of centaur to the south and orcs and half-orcs to the north.

The Elfwood
A dark and mysterious place, the Elfwood is a thick pine forest in the southwestern corner of Märchenland. It is believed by many to be the home of hyddenvolk kingdoms, and, in the case of Alfriedt, this is true. It is also home to many tabaxi clans, and a handful of forest-based centaur families. The woodland is home to a few logging sites dot the outskirts to supply the timber needed elsewhere, though few such companies wish to venture too far from the edges.

The Iceshield Tundra
The Iceshield Tundra is the home of most tribal peoples in Märchenland. It is rugged, wild and unforgiving to those who do not approach it with respect and care. Because of the untamed nature of the tundra, it holds many dangers that threaten to encroach on the southern reaches.

The Ringing Mountains
Named for the buffer zone they create between Märchenland and the wider world, the Ringing Mountains are a natural barrier that encompasses theentire land. Home the populations of dwarves and gnomes, the mountains also provide the native lands for the goliath in the far northern stretches outside the Elfwoods.

The White Reaches
After the Iceshield Tundra, the vast Arctic expanse of ice known as the White Reaches block off the oceans to the north of the mainlands of Märchenland. Home to dangerous creatures, powerful ice elementals and other terrifying rumors, most fear to travel in the ice. However, a few clans of orcs and half-orcs brave the expanse to protect the southern reaches from the dangers in the ice.
