Near Country

The Near Country is a frontier region to the west of Starikland, reminiscent of the American Old West. It borders the Far Country to the west, marked by the Sokwaya River, and the Old Empire to the south.

There are no major cities, the region is scattered with farms, ranches, and towns including Squaredeal, Averstock, Hormring, and Greyer. There is no formal government, and lawlessness is common. Fighting in the pits is still a common form of entertainment.
