The Floodlands are a region in the Motherlands. Sitting in between several distributaries of the Mother's Blood, the Floodlands are prone to flooding. In some parts of the region, this makes life difficult and hectic, forcing people to build homes on stilts and discouraging mass settlement. However, other parts of the Floodlands have regular flooding, similar to the regular floods of the Pashyr in Dasurkat, creating an agriculturally rich and highly productive region. For centuries, the Floodlands have been ruled over by House Glenn, who once reigned as Kings of the Floodlands and since the Pelegonic Conquest have reigned as Lords of the Floodlands.
