The Fallen Lands of Forgotten Realms


The Fallen Lands

Welcome dear reader to the world of Forgotten Realms; and today we will look at a very forgotten realm indeed: that of the Fallen Lands.  Some include the lands I am going to describe as part of the Savage Frontier but the Fallen Lands are aptly named as you will learn dear reader.  The Savage Frontier, what a fierce and foreboding name is it not dear reader?  But is your purpose to brave the unknown or to reclaim lost lands?  You will find that the Fallen Lands contain both.

The Fallen Lands are named for it once was home to a major site of the Netheril Empire.  The Netheril were an ancient human civilization that was known for sorcery they learned from the elves that ended up destroying themselves with.  At the height of the Netheril Empire, Lady Saharel a powerful wizard created an enormous complex.  The once great castle now lies in ruins in the last stretch of inhabitable land before the Great Desert.  Once known as Saharelgard, now known as Spellgard, the location is still sought for various reasons that are known only to those who brave to travel here.

The Fallen Lands can be found almost in the middle of the Triangle of Trees.  The Triangle of Trees refers to the boundaries of the Far Forest, the Southwood, and Weathercote Wood.  These woods are also broken up by the Greypeak Mountains with a new major human trade route passing thru the Dawn Pass in the Greypeaks.

The Fallen Lands experiences raids from the human nomads, the Bedine, and various monstrous attacks out of the Greypeaks.  But the Fallen Lands are home to their own warring and raiding factions; two opposed hobgoblin tribes that have a centuries old blood feud.  Oh dear reader, the Fallen Lands contains many fun and exciting things that you will just have to discover for yourself.
