Mornset Countryside

The Mornset Countryside is in southern Tal'Dorei, lying west of the Stormcrest Mountains and just south of the Gladepools, as the gateway to the Rifenmist Peninsula.

Description
The Mornset countryside is a haven for those who have fled the northern governments and societies of Tal'Dorei, whether to avoid punishment for illegal activity or simply because they prefer the freedom, if also the uncertainty, of the frontier. The terrain is primarily grassy plains, with some interspersed woodlands, and the settlements are small.

Notable Locations

 * Byroden is the northernmost community in the Mornset countryside.

Society
Mornset society is fiercely independent in outlook. It is primarily populated by humans, with small groups of similarly free-thinking dwarves, halflings seeking the simpler life of the past, and even some elven outcasts from Syngorn. However, those living in the Mornset countryside cooperate with each other and help each other out in order to maintain the self-sufficiency of their society. Many of the people have also allied with local giantkin for protection against the southern threat of the Iron Authority. Mornset settlers rarely travel further south to the dangerous Rifenmist Jungle other than for occasional peaceful dealings with the Orroyen Tribes.

History
The Mornset countryside was devastated by Thordak's attacks in 794 or 795 PD. However, as of 842 PD, Byroden has since been fully rebuilt.

Trivia

 * Byroden is listed as the second-largest Mornset community in the Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting, but no larger one is given.
 * It is rumored that Raishan's lair was in the Stormpoint Mountains, and as of 812 PD treasure hunters in the eastern Mornset searching for said lair were not uncommon.
