> [!success] Integrated > Updated [[Region - The United Wildlands]] and added [[Hook - United Wildlands]] on 2026-02-03 **LOCATION - Gryth - Ganath - The United Wildlands** **THE UNITED WILDLANDS (GITHWIN)** Githwin, often referred to by outsiders as the United Wildlands, is a colossal expanse situated in the interior of Eastern Ganath. This territory is so immense that it stretches over a thousand kilometres from east to west; if it were transposed over Auken, it would comfortably reach both coasts. Despite its gargantuan size, it is not a formally recognised nation, remaining instead a fragmented enigma of unexplored territories and fiercely independent local populations. The demographics of the region are incredibly diverse, containing a multitude of species whose true extent remains unknowable. This population includes various elven kin such as wood elves, drow, and eladrin, alongside firbolgs, trolls, goblins, fairies, and numerous tribes of orcs and beast races. Because there is no common language or shared culture, moving from forest to forest within Githwin can feel as though one is moving between entirely different worlds, an atmosphere further heightened by the wild and untamed nature of the local magic. There is no central ruler, king, or governing council within Githwin, and no superpower exists to dictate terms to its inhabitants. Power resides entirely within isolated local communities that worship a massive array of gods and pantheons completely unheard of on the northern continents. While some foreign religions have begun to trickle in, the core of the land remains spiritually unique. Communities near the borders of nations like the High Empire of Garwald engage in cautious trade and knowledge exchange, though these interactions are always hampered by a deep-seated distrust of outsiders that borders on the extreme. This attitude has existed in some form for millennia, but it was driven into a frenzied state by a devastating war that swept the region a few centuries ago. This conflict brought flame and death to forest cities, annihilated entire subterranean societies with poison clouds, and unleashed dark magic that turned rare creatures to ash. Though the land has seen new growth and has bounced back somewhat, it remains sparsely populated, and the physical and psychological signs of that dark time are still visible beneath the foliage. In recent years, foreign interests such as Everreach and Aurora Exotics have targeted Githwin for its vast natural and magical resources, which has reignited conflict on the borders. Everreach, which is already viewed as a predatory corporate power in places like Treston, seeks to exploit these markets for its bottom line. The Wildlands, however, strike back with lethal efficiency; living trees, circles of war-druids, and black warlocks defend the inner sanctums, killing those who enter without hesitation. Githwin remains a strange enigma; a vast and distant land that whispers of great reward but offers only death to the unwary. ![[Pasted image 20260203213059.png]] ![[Pasted image 20260203213107.png]] ![[Pasted image 20260203213114.png]] ![[Pasted image 20260203213120.png]] ![[Pasted image 20260203213126.png]] ![[Pasted image 20260203213132.png]] ![[Pasted image 20260203213138.png]]
