The Openmarch is a broad temperate frontier of waving grass, productive farms, old imperial roads, and scattered magical ruins. Settlements cluster around rivers, crossroads, and defensible rises, while distant homesteads stand exposed beneath enormous skies. Trade is growing, but so are disputes over land, ancient claims, and newly discovered arcane resources. Adventurers find abundant work escorting caravans, exploring ruins, negotiating with clans, and containing threats that ordinary patrols cannot handle.
