Savage Lands

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.

In the north, you'll find lush green forests and rolling plains, home to Centaur (Legacy)s, Tabaxi / Katari, 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 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 of these regions are nothing more than loose collections of tribes, held together by the promise of plunder and the threat of violence.

• Ruling Body: No unified government — the continent is divided into countless tribal territories.
• Authority Figures: Tribal chieftains and warlords (varies by region and constantly shifting).
• Enforcement: Tribal warriors — raw strength is the only law that holds.
• Law Type: Might makes right — from primitive tribal councils in the north to brutal warlord dictatorships in the south.

• Main Trades: Raiding, hunting, and territorial conquest.
• What Locals Care About: Survival, tribal dominance, and the defeat of rivals.
• Who Holds the Coin: N/A — wealth is measured in territory, livestock, and captives.

• Three climatically and culturally distinct regions from north to south — each more dangerous than the last.
• The mid-south: a network of large chasms leading deep underground, inhabited by cave-dwelling beasts and malevolent spirits.
• No civilized law exists anywhere on the continent — even the northernmost tribes are suspicious of outsiders.

• Common: Any outsider who enters the Savage Lands does so at their own peril — the tribes take no prisoners.
• Spicy: There's something beneath the mid-south chasms that even the southern warlords are afraid to disturb.
• Dark: Some of the southern tribes have begun worshipping something from below the chasms — and whatever it is, it's been whispering back.

• The Northern Plains: Lush forests and rolling grasslands home to relatively peaceful tribes of Centaurs, Tabaxi, Lizardfolk, and Kenku.
• The Central Highlands: Rocky hills dominated by Hobgoblins, Goblins, Aarakocra, and Bugbears.
• The Southern Wastes: Blistering desert ruled by brutal Orc, Yuan-Ti, and Goblinoid warlords.
• The Mid-South Chasms: A network of enormous underground passages rumored to house unspeakable horrors.
