Dividing Plains

The Dividing Plains contains miles and miles of rolling hills, tallgrass prairies, sky-blue rivers, and fertile farmlands. It is framed by the Summit Peaks in the east, the Stormcrest Mountains in the south, and the Cliffkeep Mountains in the north.

Safety
Theare are many dangers waiting across the dividing fields: wild beasts, owlbears and other arcane monstrosities that stlk the wooded regions; bandits looking to prey on the enduring societies; and cults of the Betrayer Gods, including the most fearsome of them the Ravagers. However, People of the plains persevered, training train people old enough to hold a spear, with even the smallest villages learning how to defend their homes.

Silvercut Roadway is the safest way to avoid being beset by monsters but it still receives close attention from highwaymen and bandits.

Fauna
The dividing plains are inhabited by Plainscows, a breed of cattle endemic to this place. They are most often used as beasts of burden and mounts for their endurance, and occasionally raised as livestock as well.
