=====ZONE 14: THE RIVERLAND=====

[[edl|ENCOUNTER DIFFICULTY LEVEL]]--4

Dominant Terrain:  Grassland

Other Terrain:  hills, poor grassland, cultivated farmland

Features:  [[Egmar|Castle Egmar]],  [[R8|R8]], [[D2|D2]]

These lands are cut by the South River, flowing from the [[z6|Break Ridge]] to the [[city|City]].  While the poor grassland near the city is very sparsely settled, and the main grassland is mostly home to small-scale herdsmen, Castle Egmar is a thriving free-hold farming community, and the hills between the bad grass and the forest are studded with small sheep-herding and mining villages.  

[[d2|The Dungeon of Hobgoblin Rufus]] is a multi-level complex that belonged to a hobgoblin sorcerer.  It was attacked and sacked by Mud Orcs, but not more than the above ground fortifications were ever explored.

There is a ruined town called McNastiburg along the river.  It too was sacked by Mud Orcs, scattering the gnomish population that once served the river trade.
