Halric is a broad northern region of wind-cut highlands, pine valleys, fortified roads, and ancient mines. Its people endure harsh weather through practical magic, disciplined cooperation, and deeply witnessed agreements. Military roads connect garrisons, market towns, logging camps, and isolated steadings. Beneath the ridges, old workings are reopening after generations of silence, drawing prospectors, soldiers, spirits, and adventurers toward secrets that may threaten the region’s hard-won stability.

Field Observations

Highland winds can overturn carts and extinguish exposed flames.,Pine roads are safer but vulnerable to avalanches and bandit ambushes.,Old military markers often indicate reliable shelters and hidden supply caches.

Cultures

Highland marcher traditions value endurance, sworn service, and communal feasting.
