Geography
"'Little more can be said about the Pasturelands outside of their name. They are the heart of the Riverdowns and a perfect sample of life in the Horgaeran country. The lands themselves are divided into east and west, with the River Pasteur running North to South, with the western lands being the larger. As with most of the region, the banks of rivers calm waters are the many Pastures that give the region its name. However, small villages and crop farms can be found dotted up and down the Pasteur. As one puts more distance between themselves and the river the terrain becomes more hilly and rough, as the animals turn from cattle to sheep and goats.'" - Excerpt from A Travelers Handbook to Imperial Lintukoto by Sebas Tuvenyon

Populous
"'The locals see themselves as a unified group, with many families spread out across both the east and western Pasturelands. Through most of living memory the lands have remained in one realm, oft split between two lords. From what I can gather from local hearsay and what records there are, the Pasturelands used to be a singular title, having descended from the local governance which included the northern coastal region and the City of Haegmer. Now, the distant connection between the lands and the city are long forgotten.'" - Excerpt from A Travelers Handbook to Imperial Lintukoto by Sebas Tuvenyon

Travel
"Travel through the Pasturelands is simple; the roads are erratic, transitioning between well-kept paved roads to dirt tracks at the moment’s notice. That being said, the roads are safe as is rest of the Pasturelands. The odd other traveller you meet along the way is likely a farm taking his herd for a walk or to market. While they oft give the appearance of being a stand offish lot, they are in fact very welcoming. The relative stability of the region seems to have built in them a trustworthiness not seen in other parts of the Riverdowns, although a cynical one may see this as naivety. While the journey was certainly uneventful, I was treated with lush open grasslands brimming with healthy animals and a honest and diligent populace." - Excerpt from A Travelers Handbook to Imperial Lintukoto by Sebas Tuvenyon
