=====The West Plains===== The broad grasslands south of the Cursed Barrens and north of the Alfenwood do not have any real settlements. The only regular inhabitants are bands of professional hunters who hunt for game across the whole range. There are several semi-permanent encampments or stations ([[gf25]], [[gf26]], [[gf27]], [[gf31]]) where these hunters meet to resupply and trade. The land is claimed by the Earl of West Road, but he does little other than appoint a bailiff for each of the encampment and collect license fees from the hunters. The hunters are very careful to stay out of the [[cursed barrens|Cursed Barrens]], [[pine_wood|Pine Wood]] and [[alfenwood|Alfenwood]].
