Welcome to The Savage Lands, a lawless and untamed region where the monstrous humanoids of Arda have made their home. Here, the natural order of things has been turned upside down, and the strong rule over the weak. The lands are divided into three distinct regions, each with its own set of challenges and dangers.
Geography and Demographics
In the north, you'll find lush green forests and rolling plains, home to the likes of Centaur (Legacy)s, Tabaxi, Lizardfolk, and Kenku. These races have formed their own primitive governments and live in relative peace with one another. However, they are ever-vigilant against any incursion by outsiders who seek to disrupt their way of life.
As you venture southwards, the landscape becomes increasingly hostile. The central regions are characterized by rocky hills and open plains, inhabited by the likes of Aarakocra, Hobgoblins, Goblins, and Bugbear (Legacy)s. These races are more aggressive and territorial, often clashing with one another over resources or territory. The governments of these regions are more authoritarian, with the strongest among them rising to the top through sheer force of will.
In the south, the terrain becomes desolate and inhospitable, with rocky outcroppings and blistering deserts stretching as far as the eye can see. Here, the more savage races of Orcs, Yuan-Ti, Goblins, and Hobgoblins hold sway, ruled by brutal warlords who demand absolute obedience from their subjects. The governments in these regions are nothing more than loose collections of tribes, held together by the promise of plunder and the threat of violence.
Notable landscape
The mid-south part of The Savage Lands is home to a network of large chasms that lead deep underground. These chasms are said to be inhabited by all manner of terrifying creatures, from cave-dwelling beasts to malevolent spirits. Only the bravest and most foolhardy adventurers dare to venture into these dark places, and even they may not return.
Despite the dangers and lawlessness of The Savage Lands, there are those who are drawn to its untamed wilderness. Adventurers seeking to make their fortune, or those driven by a thirst for knowledge, come to these lands seeking to unlock the secrets that lie buried within. However, the dangers here are real, and only the strongest and most cunning are likely to survive.
