Stolen Lands
The Stolen Lands have long resisted attempts at colonization. Wedged between the elven kingdoms and Otland, the approximately 35,000-square-mile swath of wilderness has a long history of being regarded as “stolen”—from and by whom depending on the point of view. In Otland, the lands are considered stolen from that nation’s southern expanse by bandits and barbarians. Within the wildlands themselves, lands are stolen and conquered in constant struggles between bickering tribes of centaurs, kobolds, fey, trolls, bandits, lizardfolk, boggards, barbarians, and more, all constantly skirmishing to expand their holdings while not ceding their own lands to the enemy.

History
- Glenebon Uplands: The swordlords sent a relatively experienced band of adventurers known as the Iron Wraiths into the Glenebon Uplands, charging them with purging the hills of the Tiger Lord barbarians and, eventually, to make diplomatic contact with Pytakien to work out border issues.
- Preccop Heights: The elves of the Preccop Heights have always been trouble, and in an attempt at a show of force, the swordlords sent a group of mercenaries led by one of their own, a low-ranking but eager-to-impress swordlord named Maegar Varn to establish a town and make peace with the Preccop elves.
- The Slough: The East Sellen River runs through the swamps known as Hooktongue Slough. As the most vital trade route from the south, this area has been the most important to Otland—as a result, a large group of diplomats and high-ranking soldiers lead by Hannis Drelev has been sent into this area to ensure the trade route is open and safe.
