Grenth is a temperate heartland of rolling farmland, hedgerow woodlands, and peat meadows where inherited obligations and seasonal rites govern life more than written decree. Villages cluster at hedge crossroads and river landings, and folk practices tolerate quiet charms but scorn named magic. The land feels attentive; paths and markers shift over generations and silence itself can warn the observant that something has changed.
