The Windward Marches are a vast expanse of rolling grasslands and golden prairies situated at the edge of the known world. Constant winds ripple through the knee-high stalks, carrying the scent of rain and wild herbs. Scattered pioneers and hardy homesteaders attempt to carve a life out of this beautiful but unforgiving landscape. Magic is woven into the daily chores of the inhabitants, though the land itself remains untamed and full of ancient, slumbering power.
