The Rudderlands

The Rudderlands are a large expanse of rocky terrain stretching down from the highroad to the edge of Fallowmarsh, and as far west as Velvater. The lands here are largely treacherous and difficult to navigate. There are few major settlements of note, as it rarely rains and the ground is too rocky for crops to grow, though a handful of trading towns and rest stops have sprung up along the highroad to take advantage of the traffic there. Most caravan traffic to the East travels the high road, despite the inhospitable landscape, as it is still easier than taking the marshroad through Fallowmarsh.
