The Oxbow is a broad frontier region of temperate plains, river bends, and scattered claims stretching across roughly one hundred miles of open country. It is young enough that most land still feels available, yet dangerous enough that every homestead needs allies. Small settlements cling to waterways and crossings, while bandits, goblin hideouts, and rival claimants make travel tense. The region rewards bold settlers, patient traders, and anyone willing to hold ground.
