The Midlands

The Midlands is the label applied to the large south-central portion of Terryth from the Sea of Storms to the northern edge of the Vallyrin Wood, east of the Raithos River and west of the Terralosa Mountains. Broadly flat and rich in water and earth, this part of the continent has been home to many of the great civilizations of Terryth. The roots of these peoples go very deep, beyond written memory, and there are many lost secrets here.

Forests

The Midlands are home to seven major forests of interest: The Vallyrin Wood, Raven's Nest, the Forest of Deepshadow, the Old Forest, the Highfire Forest, Erranoth Forest, the Dell Forest, and Darkwood.

Rivers

The Midlands have three major rivers, four minor rivers or streams, and a number of tributaries: the Raven River, the Raithos River, the Shemali River, the Clearbrook, the Borryl Stream, the Terryl Stream, and the Granitefall Stream.

Hills and Mountains

One major mountain range and several rocky, hilly areas are in the Midlands: The Terralosa Mountains, the Iron Hills, the Fellstones, and Skyhome.

Plains and Expanses

The Savage Moors lies to the northeast and the huge Andesian Plains to the west. The Middle Plains lie amidst several forests and the northern boundary of the Iron Hills. The Coastal Plains are the lowlands that run along the coast of the Sea of Storms from the Deepshadow east to the Terralosa Mountains, south of the Iron Hills.
