Columbria is a vast, wind-swept province stretching from the jagged northwest peaks to the eastern sea. Once the heart of a proud empire, it is now a rugged borderland defined by the Laguime River's steady flow. Nomadic clans roam the tallgrass plains, scavenging the bones of the old world while the fortified city of Alderfen stands as the last bastion of order. Life here is a constant gamble against the elements and the shadows lurking in the walled ruins.

Field Observations

River travel is the fastest way to move heavy mining goods.,Nomadic trails are often hidden from those unfamiliar with the plains.,Coastal fog frequently obscures landmarks near the ancient ruins.
