=====Cursed Barrens===== Between the[[pine_wood| Pine Woods]] and the [[west road earldom|West Road Earldom]], there is an inhospitable area called the Cursed Barrens. The land is broken, hot and waterless. It is uninhabited by any of the 5 Kindreds or even the Chaos Tribes. Instead, foul creatures from scorpions to really gigantic scorpions crawl this wasteland. Very few people have tried to explore the region and have come out alive. Those that do have reported the existence of 3 ruined towns ( [[gf21]], [[gf22]], [[gf23]] )with some inscriptions in an unknown (to them) script. Also, at the center is a [[gf24|huge stone pillar]] with an eternally burning flame at the top.
