The Midaren Plains
The Midaren Plains are one of the Wilds of Ravena, the untamed lands that lie beyond the moon’s great megalopolis. After the moon was forged it was shaped over centuries into a habitable world, and the open country of the Plains is among the gentler results.
Geography
Section titled “Geography”The Plains are a wide, open expanse of grassland, gently rolling and broken here and there by streams, low ridges and stands of trees. From a rise, a traveler can see a long way in every direction, sometimes as far as the edges of the city.
Climate
Section titled “Climate”The weather is generally mild, with warm seasons and cooler ones. Wind moves freely across the open ground, and storms can be seen coming from far off.
Inhabitants
Section titled “Inhabitants”Herders, farmers and small communities live on the Plains, along with grazing beasts and the creatures that hunt them. Travelers, traders and wanderers cross the region often, since it is easier going than most of the Wilds.
Dangers
Section titled “Dangers”The Plains are safer than most of the Wilds but not without risk. Predators follow the herds, there is little shelter in a storm, and bandits sometimes prey on lone travelers. Like much of Ravena’s surface, parts of the region may still bear scars of the War of the Moon.
Points of Interest
Section titled “Points of Interest”Waystations, old battlefields and isolated homesteads dot the grasslands. These draw herders, travelers and the occasional historian looking for traces of the past.
