The Rainward Heartland is a broad regional expanse of fertile plains, reed marshes, and river-fed settlements stretching across a hundred miles of monsoon country. Raised roads connect farming villages, shrine towns, fortified market centers, and busy ports at the southern delta. The land appears peaceful from afar, yet ancient weather magic, buried ruins, political rivalries, and hungry spirits make every harvest season a potential crisis.

Field Observations

Summer floods can erase roads within hours.,Raised causeways provide safer travel but attract toll collectors and bandits.,River travel is swift during rains and treacherous during sudden storms.
