Imperial Provinces

The lands of the West not under direct control of one of the Free Cities or the Capital of Cassia are divided into Provinces and governed by Regional Governors appointed by the Cassian Senate. These lands account for the vast majority of space in the west, but are significantly less populated than the major cities. While Cassian legion forts dot the landscape, and villages and towns are still under Cassian Rule of law, the provinces are not always safe and civilized places.

Primitive orc and goblin tribes still inhabit much of the vast windswept plains of the Western Provinces, and resist civilization wherever it encroaches on their borders.

The roads of the heavily forested Eastern Province, which borders the dark lands of the Grineland, is haunted by beast and bandit alike, posing many dangers for the sparsely homesteads that dot the frontier.

The coastal Northern Province is the target of frequent raids from the Voyager Peninsula, and home to a native population of elves that refuse to forsake their old religions and consider all imperial colonization efforts an affront to their ancient way of life.

The lush Southern province is dominated by rivers and deltas that carry all many of trade to the sea. It boasts some of the most fertile farmland in the west, and is responsible for much of the food consumed in the empire, as well perhaps the finest wine in the world.
