The Brassmuzzle Heartlands are a broad, prosperous homeland of river cities, fertile plains, deep forests, misty wetlands, and mineral-rich uplands. Upright beast-folk dominate its civic life, shaping communities around sturdy construction, expressive public debate, and communal responsibility. Ancient roads and buried works connect the region, while competing councils, guilds, clans, and religious traditions keep its politics lively. The Heartlands offer safe trade, hidden ruins, frontier dangers, and countless places for new settlements to grow.
