The Wilde Lands

The Wilde Lands is a denomination used to describe most of the eastern most peninsula of the central continent. The Wilde Lands are home to a wildly diverse group of magical beings and cultures. The most common race to come from the Wilde Lands are the elves. Thought to be one of the oldest races to live on the central continent the elves kept mainly to themselves until they were forced from their homes during the Age of Tyranny. The Wilde Lands were the first to experience the Evaliann Empire's brutal colonization and much of the elf population found themselves captured and forced into servitude by the Evaliann Empire. Today, while many elves have taken their new freedom as an opportunity to incorporate themselves into the world around them, most who remained in the Wilde Lands shut off any and all interaction with the rest of the central continent, acting aggressively towards any considered as intruders.

The other most common race to come out of the Wilde Lands are the gnomes. Considered the caretakers of the forest the gnomes are known for their civility and jolly attitudes. Thanks to the more northward position in relation to their elven neighbors, the gnomes managed to avoid most of the unwanted colonization of the Evaliann Empire during the Age of Tyranny. While most gnomes

hold deep sympathies for the trials their elven friends suffered, they did see this sudden intrusion of outsiders as an exciting opportunity to see more of what Mother Nature had to offer them. As such following the Evaliann Empire's fall, gnomes began to make pilgrimages across the central continent towards the city of Cavas in order to experience more of the world, a tradition that lives on to this day in the gnome community.

While the elves and the gnomes make up the largest populations in the Wilde Lands, many other magical races and beings make their home in the Wilde Lands. Pixies and fairies can be found flying through the trees, trolls stalk the darker parts of the wood, firbolg clans wander, and dark hag covens reside in little traveled corners. While most fear the Wilde Lands for its danger and mystery, others rejoice in the possible adventure, and extursions to the Wilde Lands are common among adventurers.
