Western Aironoi (concept)

Biozone: Western Aironoi

Famous for its spring-to-autumn golden color, Western Aironoi is essentially a vast field of wild wheat occasionally broken up by patches of overgrown orchards, and has long been one of the most fertile and economically desirable areas of the entire world. It is not definitively known why the grasslands of the region are so markedly different from the inhospitable steppes further east, though unique climatological conditions, an exceptional soil quality and even ancient Astilak magic have all been postulated to be reasons.

Western Aironoi was considered the economic heartland of Aversaria, now reduced to rubble and refuse. Its once vibrant pine forests and scattered prairies seem warped and barren. The rocky hills closer to the Aironoian Mountains areravaged and dry, with little trace of beauty remaining. Strips of pine forest cross the hills and plains, cut off by returning fields. We've long since left the main roads, and the wilderness has proved relaxing, though I can't shake the feeling that something is watching us the deeper into the wilds we go.
