    Riverlands will have to do for now (could someone please change that? post#35). Here's some info, don't know how to put it in the cwbp though:

    Denizens
    The people who dwell in the <area>Riverlands are not collectively termed as one people. Rather, depending on which royal house you descend from, dictates you are Korcor, Torren, or Tiric. An individual would be a Korc, Torrn, or Tirj. The people of the <area>Riverlands are a mostly human people, and, other than the rumors of Dwarven blood flowing in the veins of the Torren people, the variation is quite lacking. A large clan of Orcs, living south of Tirylus, seems to live only to plague the southwestern border. It is generally expected among the denizens of the <area>Riverlands to ignore other cultures outside of the <area>Riverlands. Although anyone is allowed to pass through, the neighbors (mostly to the west) are some dots on a foreigners map.
    Fluff
    Hoslahant – An alarming, possibly tamable, animal, that seems to be a cross between a destrier and an undersized elephant.
    Current Capital
    The city of Kir'Thaen, [cur thay-n] is situated upon the shores of the northern side of <place>peninsula, and the island just north of it. Created, by the Vetaran, to oversee the <area>Riverlands, it included one letter of each royal house’s names. Immediate dislike for this convention arose, as each royal house wanted it to be named after them. This was settled by the then Governor’s decision to not care. Although assassinated after this decision, many call it a mere coincidence. Now a splendid port city; many cultures, religions, and people mingle everyday beneath its walls, and above its piers.
    Significant Settlements
    Torathael [tor-ay-thay-le] is currently the largest city of the <area>Riverlands, and the biggest internal trading centre.
    This marker once stood for the only known Dwarven settlement, and used to be the human’s access to Dwarven goods. Nowadays, it is considered a ghost town, for no word has escaped from the mountain reaches since the plague erupted far to the north. The current rumors, give the place its name: “An out-of-the-way village far north of Tiratheis, had a guest. Covered in strange wounds, half-made bandages, and a stained dagger grasped in his hand, he crawled to the town well and collapsed. The villagers could not glean anything from his mad ramblings, but his howls while he fitfully slept told all: ‘Hold them back! Lest this be known as Gravehelm!’
    Trade
    Nearly all trading, whether importing, exporting, or just between themselves, is done on the <river>river. Usually shipped from there by foreign fleets.

    edit: Anyone think this would be any good for replacing my forests? I've finally decided to replace 'em.
