Heldannic Territories

A region at the northern edge of the Known World that was once known as the Heldann Freehold. Today it is the province of the Knights of the Heldannic Order, a religious military order once created by the Church of Vanya. For the native Heldanners, it is a bloody occupation of their home. For the Knights, it is a land granted to them by Vanya herself. As the Faithful of Vanya struggle to contain the hidebound natives, sinister forces work their way unseen, and armies mount across the sea as the time for war approaches. The Heldannic Territories are situated on the Western Sea of Dawn, due north of the Ethengar Steppes. Long an afterthought of the Known World, the Heldannic topography mirrors the unique isolation of its natives. The cold rocky hills that dominate Heldann are not part of the Northern Reaches' High Coastal Plain, nor are they simply foothills to the western mountains. Neither are the lowlands an Extension of Norwold's Coastal Plain.
