North Country

Spoken of as if it were a different land, the North Country accounts for almost two-thirds of Rashemen’s territory. The site of many battles between old Narfell and Raumathar, the place is scattered with old ruins and decrepit fortresses of those dead empires. Rashemi nobles explore these dangerous sites to prove their bravery and bring back great treasures. Few survive, but the reward of ancient treasure is worth the great risk.

Few people live in the North Country. Those who do inhabit small, isolated farming settlements as far as possible from the nearest ruin. The local people have many stories about the ruins and those who explored them, but only a handful of these describe nobles returning laden with gold, weapons, and magic. Rumors about the nearby sites are almost always tales handed down from earlier generations, for no sensible person would approach such places.
